Some General Points
Your TA will be present in lab to help you with questions you have on the material presented in class and to help you with your assignments.
Do not expect a lecture during labs. Lab time will be used to work on assignments, and your TA will be going around the room helping students that ask for help.
Your TA will answer emails if you need help with assignments but will often be able to provide more assistance by going through your code with you in person.
Please do not be afraid to approach your TA. She is a valuable resource and is eager to help you with any questions you may have. If she is busy helping another person during lab time, just raise your hand and be sure to get her attention so she is aware that you need help.
There are no food or drinks allowed in the lab. Your TA will not bother you about this, but the system administrator monitoring the cameras on the wall will. If the system administrator catches you, he will ask you to leave and will delete your lab account.
Assignment Submission Policies
You should submit homework via email to yucheng@hawaii.edu. The TA will not review, correct, or grade code before the submission date, but if you bring your work to the lab or the TA’s office, the TA will help you at these times.
The due date for assignments will be on Sunday by 11:59 pm, but this time is subject to change. Late assignments will receive zero points. If they are submitted, however, the TA will assess them for your benefit.
Please follow the following instructions when submitting assignments. Failure to do so may affect your grade.

After you send your email:
Be sure to double-check your assignment submission by opening the email that you sent to the TA, downloading the attached program, and compiling and running the program to make sure it works and that it is the program that you intended to submit. You are responsible for sending the correct program. No excuses will be accepted.
-
Multiple submissions:
You may submit an assignment more than one time. Only the most recent assignment submitted before the deadline will be graded. If you cannot make the deadline, then turn in what you have before the deadline for partial credit.
