The following are requirements for all assignments. Failure to follow these requirements will cause major problems with the automated system:

  1. Always capitalize the first letter for class names and file names
  2. Always put "new Scanner(System.in)" into the main() method call - never as a class-level variable
  3. Include JavaDoc comments for the class, including the @author tag
  4. JavaDoc comments for each method, including any necessary @return and @param tags
  5. Output must conform EXACTLY with the assignment description:
    6. Programs may be penalized for failing to follow the course Style Guidelines.

Homework assignments should be submitted via the submit program. Instructions can be found on the Submission page.

Exams

All students are required to take the exams. A missed exam is a failure, unless an alternate time is prearranged, or an excused absence (verified by the Student Affairs Office) is presented.
