Assignments are to be handed in on their due date at the start of class (ie., 17:30). Assignments that are handed in after 17:30 on the due date, but before the next class, will have two full letter grades deducted (ie., A becomes a C, B+ becomes a D+, C+ or lower becomes an F, etcetera). Assignments that are to be handed in late must be given to the instructor. Once the next class following a due date has started, no late assignments will be accepted, and a grade of 0 will be assigned (Exception: no late Assignment #4s will be accepted). Please note that events such as last-minute printer slowdown or breakdown do not constitute valid excuses for lateness.

Please see the course WWW page, www.cs.yorku.ca/Courses/1030, for full implementation details regarding assignments, course policies, and where to look for more information.
