We will use software to detect violations of academic integrity.

11/3 M P5 Project 5 is due on Thursday Nov 6 at 11pm. Some students have exams this week and requested an extension. However, as CS1112 has its prelim next week, we cannot let the deadline slide as that would postpone your review for Prelim 2 and hinder your progress with the current course topics. To help ease the pressure, we will halve the penalty for submitting the assignment late, up to 24 hours (Nov 7 at 11pm). We encourage you to complete the project by Nov 6 at 11pm, but if you must submit it late by a day the penalty will be 5% instead of 10%.
