Attendance
Class attendance is required.
Arrive to class a few minutes early.

Attendance marks:
   Late arrival to class - 1 mark
   Unexcused absence     - 1 marks

Each attendance mark reduces your overall course grade by 1%

Examples:
   Arriving late to class once per week would cause a 15% grade deduction.

Labs
Labs are hands-on assignments to be done during a lab class period.
Lab Rules:
   1. Must not be late to lab.
   2. Must work the entire lab period, unless excused by instructor.
   3. Your program must compile and run at the end of lab period,
      when it is collected for scoring.
      A program that does not compile could receive a score of zero.

Homework
Homework assignments are posted on our web page.
Instructions will be given for each assignment.
Homework Rules:
   1. Your program must compile and run when it is due.
   2. The homework source code files will be collected by the instructor.

General requirements of all assignments
Your assignments will usually be files stored on the Odin server. Your files
must be stored inside your 3480 directory, and in the proper subdirectory.

Your 3480 directory must be created using a script provided. The 3480
directory is created so that your work is visible only to you and your
instructor. Do not change the permission of the directory after running
the provided script.

   Other general requirements:
     . Your name on the top line
     . Correct file name
     . Correct file location

   Programming assignments:
     . No compile warnings or errors
     . Program must run
     . Program output must be neat, clean, and complete.
     . C program code must follow the K&R coding style.
     . C program code must have consistent and correct indenting.

   Text file written assignments:
     . Your name on the top line
     . Neatly written text
     . Correct spelling and grammar

   Each assignment will also have some specific requirements in addition to
   those listed above.

Final Exam
