Assignments:

Homework will be given on a weekly basis. Assignments are due by 4 pm at Siebel Center Room 4336 on the day they are due.
There will be a drop box outside of the office. Materials should be submitted in paper form. Do not email your assignments.
Graphics should be done computationally (i.e. not by hand). TAs may request source code electronically.

Homework will be accepted late for 50% credit for one week. After one week, late submission will not be accepted.
No homework scores will be dropped.

Collaboration is permitted on homework. Copying is not. Each student is responsible for their own homework, ensuring it is not copied from or copied to.

Of course everyone should use the resources available on the web for assistance. When permitted, direct use of programming libraries will be indicated. Otherwise, assume it should be of your own creation (including documentation).

Graded homeworks can be picked up from a box outside Room 4336.
