COSC 1315 Fundamentals of Programming

General Requirements for Laboratory Programming Assignments

Fall 2007

Revised 08/20/07

The official web page for this course is http://www.austincc.edu/baldwin/Fall07/Cosc1315WebPage/COSC1315.htm 

These are the general requirements for writing and submitting laboratory assignments in Professor Baldwin's COSC 1315, Programming Fundamentals course using the Alice program development environment.

Submittal requirements

You must submit your Alice world files and your Alice source code files encapsulated in a zip file attached to an email message.  (See Exception below.)  If you don't have access to an email account that you can access from within an ACC laboratory, make Prof. Baldwin aware of this fact and he will arrange for you to receive an invitation to get a GMAIL account.

You must meet the submittal date requirements specified in the companion document titled Schedule and Requirements.

Format requirements

You must name your world and source code files according to specifications that will be provided in the lab project specifications.

Your name must appear as the Author's name in the source code file.

In addition, you must include the following information in separate comment lines at the beginning of the main method:

Your source code file must be in the Java Style in Color format.

Prof. Baldwin will teach you how to create and save world files and source code files during a lab period early in the semester.

Program structure

Unless indicated otherwise in the description of the lab project, every program must consist of at least two methods.  One method must be named main.  The other method(s) can have names of your choosing.  (You must rename the standard default method from my_first_method to main.)

Re-submittal of lab assignments:  If you submit a lab assignment and fail to get credit for that lab assignment on the first submittal, you will be allowed to resubmit the assignment, (once and only once), for half credit provided that you resubmit the assignment not later than one week following the date of the first submittal.  Both the first and second submittals for all lab assignments must be accomplished not later than the submittal deadline for that assignment.

Exception to email submittal of assignments

When you have completed an assignment, notify Prof. Baldwin of that fact during a scheduled lab period.  Depending on the nature of the assignment, he may, at his option allow you to simply demonstrate the assignment on your laboratory computer and forego the requirement to make the email submittal.
