There will be five programming assignments throughout the semester, worth a total of 50% of the final grade (45% for graduate students).
All projects must be implemented using the computing system and development environment specified in the project description, typically the class VMs.
In general, most projects and in-class assignments will be based on the C programming language and the Linux development environment. Unless specified otherwise, projects will be done individually by each student. Students must also read and adhere to good programming standards (see Dr Finkel's checklist of good programming characteristics). Programs will be penalized for poor programming style.
