Projects
Projects are medium-size programming assignments through which you synthesize the knowledge gained in recent weeks. You may work individually or with one partner (you may have a different partner on different projects, and you and your partner may attend different sections). It is encouraged that you work with a partner to help facilitate learning. You can expect that later projects will weigh more than early ones.
Please read and follow the programming style guidelines when working on projects:

Project submission
Submit your project files online in CMS. If you work with a partner, register your group on CMS before submitting any file. You and your partner will submit one project as a group.
Late submission is accepted up to 24 hours after the deadline. A penalty of 5% (0.5 points out of 10) will be applied. Note that even if only one file out of several in a project is late, the entire project is marked late.
Finding a partner
You will get the most out of these projects by working with a partner, especially one with a similar amount of prior programming experience. We understand it’s tricky to find partners during virtual instruction, so we recommend trying the Learning Strategies Center’s partner finding service. You may also start a partner-finding thread on our discussion board.
Academic integrity
Even though you may work with a partner, there are limits on the extent to which you may collaborate outside of your group, as well as on the kind of assistance you may solicit from other sources. Please review our academic integrity policies.
Grading
Each programming project will receive two distinct grades for the following:
- correctness (c): how well the program works according to specifications
- style (s): the quality of the code and documentation
You can score 0-5 on correctness and 0-5 on style, so each project is graded out of 10 points. If you work with a partner, both you and your partner will receive the same score for that project.
Regrade
If you feel that the graders have incorrectly graded an assignment, you may submit a regrade request within one week of the release of the graded project:
- Regrade requests must be submitted online via CMS, from the assignment page.
- In your request, clearly specify the grading error relative to the rubric.
- You must submit your request within one week after we return (post) your graded work.
- We regrade the entire submission from scratch, so your grade may go up or down.
The response to your regrade request will be visible on CMS when we have finished regrading your assignment.
