Assignments

This page is a master list of all assignments and due dates for the course. It will be updated as assignments are made available.

Assignments are due at 10:00am, unless otherwise noted.

Solutions, when available, are password-protected; the course username and password are on the Moodle site.

Note that the estimated time to complete each assignment is just that: an estimate. It assumes that you are a competent programmer, and that you have had no difficulty with in-class content and prior assignments. If these assumptions are not true, you will want to budget more time. In particular, don't take an estimated time of, say, an hour to mean that it's OK to start at 9am on the due date. Start assignments early so the course staff can clarify points of confusion for you and give you time to complete the assignment.
