Homework Grading:
Each week there will be a number of textbook based and programming activities for you to solve outside of class.

(plus 1 pt for extra work)
Deductions
(1/2 pt.) Lack of meaningful names used in declarations
(1/2 pt.) Lack of informative comments

Important Note
on Academic Honesty:
Working with others on assignments is a good way to learn the material and is
encouraged. However, please do not think you can turn in someone else's work and
get credit for it. If you fall behind in class you may request an extension
provided you have an approved and documented reason for your absence, such as
illness, work or family emergency. If you are asked by someone in class for your
solutions, be aware that both the provider and the receiver are given zero
points for the work involved and, if necessary, may be sent to the Dean of
Students for a conversation about their status at MPC.
