18-213/18-613 Intro to Computer Systems: Homeworks

In addition to the labs, there will be weekly homeworks:

• The first homework will go out on Tuesday January 13.
• Homeworks are released and collected on Canvas as a quiz.
• There are approximately 12 homeworks in all.
• The midterm is a "low-stakes" take-home midterm. It counts 25% of your midterm grade, but as a doubel homework for final grades. Further details will be presented in lecture and posted to Piazza.
• Homeworks are released on Tuesdays, and due 9 days later at 11:59 pm ET. There are no grace days. The late penalty is 15% per day. You can turn in a homework at most 3 days late.
• We will drop your two lowest scores. The remaining are each worth ~2% of your course grade.
• The homeworks are designed to reinforce concepts from the lectures held the week the homework is released.
• Although the midterm exam counts for two homework assignments, you are only able to apply one drop to it, so it necessarily counts at least as much as one homework toward your final grade.
