CS332 Public Information (Spring 2024)

B1. Homeworks and Exams

• Homeworks will only be posted in the LMS (Learning Management System) known as Canvas (or canvas). A homework is for credit, setup as a limited availability canvas quiz. Three attempts can be made to submit; the last attempt is only graded and counts. Due before noon-time (12 o'clock noon, or 12PM for canvas; note that canvas 12PM is NOT MIDNIGHT but noon time) on a day as specified in the calendar of the Syllabus. Before noon-time means no later than 11:59:59am the time of the server not the time of your computer; time is local NJ time. Solutions are in the feedback you receive through canvas; a solution key will be made available in Canvas Announcements or Section C.2 of the CWP. Do not rely on canvas for reminders about deadlines (aka due dates). 'Due dates' are in the calendar of Document 1 i.e. the syllabus or through the AVAILABLE UNTIL date indicated in Canvas for the item in question (e.g. Homework). More information is provided in Document 1 (Syllabus).
• Exams are posted on the medium provided (paper or canvas). If in canvas, an exam is setup as a limited availability canvas quiz. One attempt to submit is only allowed.
