Machine Problems (MPs)

There will be programming assignments (MPs) roughly every week that is worth 100 points each. There's no deadline extension for COVID related or other medical and non-medical related circumstance. Instead, the lowest MP score will be dropped.

MPs will be distributed on Thursday and typically due (by computer hand-in via Github) the following Thursday at 10.00 pm.

If you are working in a group, each group member must turn in his/her own copy of code in Github. We cannot grade your partner's copy as yours. Mention your group members by NetID near the top using comments:

; partners: itabrah2, tmoon, ubhowmik
;

or

/*partners: itabrah2, tmoon, ubhowmik */
#include <stdio.h>
⚠️ Note
It is your responsibility to ensure the latest code submission is the version you want graded. Mistakes with Git handling may not be addressable via regrades!

Late submissions: You can turn in the assignments late until Saturday (48 hours after the deadline) and get a penalty of 2 points for each hour late.

James Scholar students who wish to earn honors credit in this course should complete additional MPs. See the Honors page in the menu pane.

The following assignments will use the EWS laboratory environment. The first two will require you to write LC-3 assembly language, while the remaining will require you to write C code. Some of the assignments may build from week to week.

MP Regrades

Grades for MPs will be released on Canvas and on Github, usually by the second Monday after they are due.

You can check the full breakdown of the autograder results and grade on Github at

[https://github.com/illinois-cs-coursework/[ttYY]_ece220_[netid]/tree/grade/[mpX]/grade.txt](https://github.com/illinois-cs-coursework/ttYY_ece220_netid/tree/grade)

If you believe there was a mistake in the autograder, an edge case that was missed, or an issue with submission/Canvas, submit a regrade request by submitting to the corresponding assignment on Gradescope.

Be specific about the issue, and explain why you believe you deserve partial credit.

The deadline to submit an MP regrade request will be one week after grades are released.

Example: MP 1 is due Sep 05. Regrades can be requested starting Sep 16, and will need to be submitted by Sep 23 deadline.
