Programming assignments 60% Final project 30% Labs/Class 10%You begin the semester with 5 one-day extensions that may be used to extend any programming assignment deadline. You earn an additional one-day extension each time you submit a programming assignment 24 (or more) hours before its due-time. Assignment submitted after the due time plus extensions will not receive any credit. In order to pass the class, however, you must submit a solution to each assignment. These late submission must compile and successfully implement at least 50% of the features assigned. Further, these submissions must be made within two weeks of the due-time. In addition to submitting your code for each assignment, you will also be required to demo your work to me and some of your peers.
