Homework Policy

Unless otherwise specified, assignments should be emailed to the TA email address (cs440ta@cs.illinois.edu) as an attachment in pdf, doc, txt, or rtf format. Please note clearly in the email your NetID and the homework number. You will receive an email reply within 24 hours after submission. You can also hand in your typed homework to the TA in class. No handwritten solutions will be accepted. Please name your submission first_last_name_hwN.ext (e.g. john_smith_hw1.doc)

Unless announced in advance, solutions will be posted no sooner than two days after the due date.  Homework will be accepted until that point with a penalty of 10% for any fraction of a day that it is late.  No assignments will be accepted after the solutions have been posted. Late homework will only be accepted in class, during office hours, or electronically by email to the TA. 

Homework regrades requests must be made within one week after the graded homework is returned (exam regrade requests must be made immediately).

Cheating Policy

Unless specifically announced, you are expected to do each homework on your own. You may discuss concepts with your classmates, but there must be no interactions about solutions.  You may consult the web but the work handed in must be entirely your own. 

The penalty for cheating on any assignment is straightforward.  On the first occurrence, you will receive a zero for the assignment and your course grade will be reduced by one full letter grade.  A second occurrence will result in course failure.
