Assignment Guidelines

Assignments involve primarily written work (There may be one or two assignments involving some programming). Your solutions will be judged not only for correctness but also for the quality of your presentation and explanations (justifications are implicitly required in most questions). Ensure that your solutions are complete and mathematically precise, but at the same time, easy to understand and concise.
Please write legibly and stable the pages of your solutions securely. Put your full name and ID number on the first page, and put the first two characters of your last name in big capital letters on the top right-hand corner of the first page (for ease of sorting and searching). For example: if your name is Alan Turing, write "TU".
Assignments are due at Noon and are to be placed in the CS466 assignment box located on the 3rd floor of MC next to the elevators by the bridge to DC.
Late assignments will not be accepted and will be given a mark of zero. (Accidentally placing assignments in the wrong box or just "forgetting" are not considered valid excuses.) In case of genuinely extenuating circumstances such as serious illness, please let me know as soon as possible.
Assignments typically involve creating new algorithms/lower bounds. Creativity is not something that can be forced in a few hours. You must look at the assignment very early (preferably the day it becomes available) to give yourself time to "mull over" the question.

Assignment solutions can be found on reserve in the DC library (UWD 1104). Always remember that solutions show only one way of solving the problems, which is not necessarily the only way or the best way.
