Grading of Laboratory Assignments

You are expected to follow the style guidelines shown in the textbook so
that each program is neatly and professionally written. Use meaningful
variable names, such as hours, not h, for hours worked. Indent your program
lines in a consistent way to make it easier to read. Use comments as shown
in the book before each major step of the algorithm and to document the
use of variables in the declaration section of your functions. Also, 
begin each program with a multi-line comment that shows your name, your 
class and section, your 
class instructor and lab instructor, the assignment name, and the date. Your 
instructor will deduct points from your grade if all these guidelines are not
followed.

You should also hand in with each program a design document that shows 
the steps followed BEFORE you wrote your program. This document should 
show a data requirements section with names of input variables, output 
varibables, and other variables needed. Also, list any relevant formulas 
you may need, and show the algorithm and refinements. I suggest you do 
this using an editor on your computer and then you can append this file 
as a comment (delimited by /* ... */) to your source program. You can 
also use your editor to build your program from this document as 
discussed in the book (Section 3.1).

Each program that you submit should be adequately tested. As 
part of your design document list the specific cases you intend to test 
to demonstrate that your program works correctly. For example, for the 
coins problem, you might want to check an amount of nickels or pennies 
that is zero. A total amount that has exactly 0 cents, an amount that has 
0 dollars, and so on.

Finally, there is the matter of plagiarism. If we detect that you are 
turning in someone else's work either with or without permission, you 
will receive an F in the course and have to retake it. Both parties 
involved will get an F. For this reason, don't leave printouts 
around with your programs on them.
