/etc 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.

/etc/note You will have an account on the Unix machine admiral.umsl.edu and you should use it for all assignments. All programs must be done in C or C++; if you decide to use another language, make sure it is available on admiral and clear it with me beforehand.
