C+ 77 C 73 C- 70
D+ 67 D 63 D- 60
NOTE : any grade less than 60 is an F.

Computer Accounts Students will be provided with a class account on the University Computer System "vulcan.ist.unomaha.edu"
Programming Assignments Programming assignments will be completed using C++. The submitted programs must run under the UNIX® operating system on the University Computer System "vulcan.ist.unomaha.edu".

For each programming assignment you will be required to submit the completed source code files ( as well as a Makefile ).

Programming Assignments will be graded based on the following criteria :

  • Everything is correctly turned in.
  • The program functions according to the program assignment requirements.
  • The program clearly demonstrates the desired C++ skills/goals.
  • The program is clearly designed for ease of use/maintenence, and is well documented (Module/function/and source comments).

Late submissions will be accepted up to three calendar days from the due date. Late items will be penalized 15% per calendar day late. The assignment is not turned until is has been mailed to the correct turnin address.

Plagarism Individual effort is expected on the homework assignments, examinations, and programming assignments. It is the policy of the Computer Science Department that the penalty for plagarism must be worse then the failure to submit the assigned work. Thus the grade of the first offending assignment will be -100% of the assignment value. Repeated plagarism will result in a grade of F for the course, inability to withdraw from the course, and appropriate notice to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
