Failure to hand in any assignment will result in an automatic zero for that assignment. If some student is unable to hand in an assignment by the deadline, he/she must discuss it with me before the deadline. If you are found copying an assignment, you get a zero for that assignment automatically.
If you need special accommodation for any reason, including disability, please see me in the first two weeks of class.
You will have an account on the Unix machine solar.cs.siue.edu in the CS department and you should use it for submitting all assignments that require online submission. The programs can be done on Unix or Windows using the MIPS simulator.
