The following pertains to all projects:

• Projects will be graded according to five equal parts:
  1. correctness
  2. design
  3. style
  4. documentation
  5. efficiency
• Projects are due by midnight of the due date.
• You may turn in incomplete projects for grading. Late penalties apply.
• A project that runs incorrectly will receive no more than 75% of the grade
• A project that does not compile will receive no more than 50% of the grade
• These guidelines are for incomplete projects where a good effort was made. Garbage will receive 0%.

Project Policy

All projects must be completed by your own individual effort. You should never have a copy of someone else's project either on paper or electronically under any circumstance. Also, you should never give a copy of your project, either on paper or electronically, to another student. This also means that you cannot "work" on the project together. Cases of academic dishonesty will be dealt with severely.

If your project is turned in by someone else, both you and the person copying your project will receive a 0 for that project. This includes "substantially similar" projects. Furthermore, all parties concerned will have their prior projects checked for cheating. So, if you cheat on Project 5, you can lose all the points from Projects 1 through 4 as well, even though you may have done all the work and just "let" other people copy from you.
