Project Submission:
You are to submit:

1. A documented listing of well-structured modular source code.
2. Electronic copy of your source (diskette or by other method that will be announced in the class).
3. External documentation (like a UNIX man page).

Project Grading:
Your project will be graded based on the following:

• Compilation
• Execution and functionality
• Documentation
  • External documentation (design decisions, purpose/behaviour)
  • Internal documentation (comments)

• Design and style (algorithms, data structures, modularity)

Academic Dishonesty:
Students who cheat in the exams or copy other students projects will be dealt with according to YÖK's rules.

Make-Up exams:
Make-up exams will be given to those who really couldn't take the exam due to some emergency. Students who cannot attend an exam due to unexpected circumstances (e.g. medical problems), are required to submit a written explanation or doctor's report within 2 working days following the event.
