\noindent
HW must be completed and uploaded to ``Blackboard" (the course management software) before the posted deadline. For HW assignments that do not require programming, you may handwrite your solutions and either hand them in, or upload a single scanned pdf file before the posted deadline. If programming assignments are given, you must zip up the source code directory and upload the zipped file to ``Blackboard". Late HW assignments will be assessed a 10\% penalty per school day, up to the posted cut-off date. After the cut-off date, HW assignments WILL NOT be accepted. 
If you cannot fully finish your HW, turn in your incomplete work to receive partial credit.


\subsubsection*{Course Examination Policy}

Examinations will be administered electronically via the Blackboard learning management system during scheduled class sessions. The final examination is excluded from this format and will be administered separately according to the university's final examination schedule. 

Students are required to download and install the Respondus LockDown Browser on their devices prior to the first examination. All examinations must be completed using this secure browser application.

The use of cellular phones or other mobile communication devices during examinations is expressly forbidden. Any student found to be in violation of this policy will receive a grade of zero (0) on the examination in question, with no opportunity for makeup or retake.
