We will do five programming assignments. The first four programming assignments take up 10% of your total grade. The fifth assignment takes up 15% of your total grade. Some assignments provide extra credit beyond your total grade.
To download any files linked in assignment pages from your linux terminal, you can use wget and specify the URL of the file. For example,
wget ./assignment/wc209/files/samplewc209this command will download the sample binary (samplewc209) to your current directory. You can get the URL of the file by right-clicking the hyperlink and then selecting "copy link address".
If you downloaded a binary file and want to execute it, you need to set its execution bits. If you want to allow a file named samplewc209 to be executable in current directory, type:
chmod u+x samplewc209then
samplewc209 will become
executable. The u option in chmod indicates
that the operation applies to access of the user who owns this file
and x means that the command updates the execution bit of
the file. For more information about chmod
or wget, try man.
Use KAIST KLMS to submit your assignments. Your submission should be one gzipped tar file whose name is
YourStudentID_assign#.tar.gz
For example, if your student ID is 20151234, and it is for assignment #3, please name the file as
20151234_assign3.tar.gz
To create the .tar.gz, first move all your files to the directory (20091234_assign3).
mkdir 20151234_assign3
mv all_your_files 20151234_assign3
Then, create a .tar.gz file by the 'tar' command like
tar zcf 20151234_assign3.tar.gz 20151234_assign3
Then, you'll see 20151234_assign3.tar.gz. If you want to decompress and release the files in it (in a different directory),
tar zxf 20091234_assign3.tar.gz
For every assignment submission, please fill out and submit the pdf version of this document that pledges your honor that you did not violate any ethics rules required by this course and KAIST. You can either scan a printed version into a pdf file or make the Word document into a pdf file after filling it out.
Please sign on the document and submit it along with your other assignment files, or we won't grade your assignment.
Students can use late submission (late pass) which can be late up to three days without penalty for the first four programming assignments. That is, you can apply your late submission days (within 3 days in total) spread over the first four programming assignments. The minimum granulaity is one day: if you are 1 hour late, that's still counted as one day late. If you're going to spend your free late days, please say so in your readme file. Beyond the free late days, we will enforce this penalty rule for each assignment. One will get
Important: Note that we do not accept late submission for the final project. Any late submission (e.g., submitted after 9:00pm on 12/19, regardless of whether you have free days or not) will result in zero credit for the final project.
We will grant extensions only in case of illness(with doctor's note) or extraordinary cicrumstances. In case you are submitting your work late due to illness or extraordinary circumstances, please consult with the instructor as soon as possible. Please plan ahead (travel, religious holidays, etc.) to meet the deadlines. Note that heavy workload is not counted as extraordinary cicrumstances.
Please refer to the course policy page.
Good coding style will be one criterion for grading each assignment. Please make sure your code has proper indentation and descriptive comments. At the start of each file, please add your name, lab account ID and the description of the file. Make sure not to leak any memory and check/handle every return value of function calls.
Your submission will be graded on one of the Lab machines for the course. You are free to use other machines for coding and debugging, but please make sure to compile and test your final version on the Lab machines. In a rare case, library mismatch or O/S stack difference (Solaris vs. Linux) can bypass some of your bugs, but they can actually show up on the Lab machines while grading. In order to avoid this last-minute surprise, please test on Lab machines before submitting your work.
