Here is my policy on homework assignments:

1. Assignments will generally be due Friday evenings at midnight.
    
2. Late assignments will be assessed a late penalty of 10% per day.   (So, if turned in anytime Saturday, you lose 10 points out of 100; anytime Sunday, 20 points out of 100; and on Monday, 30 points.)
    
3. Assignments turned in after the beginning of class on Monday will not be accepted.
    
4. Your lowest grade of the 12 or so assignments will not be counted.   (So, you can completely skip any one assignment.)
    
5. You should see me if you have a Dean's excuse, in which case I will try to make special arrangements depending on the circumstances.

Please submit all homework electronically by attaching it to an e-mail to Amittai Aviram (amittai.aviram@yale.edu).

If the homework has a written non-code portion, please type it out in either plain ASCII symbols (in a text or word processed document file) or some other form (LaTeX, Word, HTML, whatever). If there is a code portion and a text portion, please attach two files to your e-mail, one with the code and the other with the text portion. Please always run your code before submitting it and make sure that it compiles. If you have trouble making it compile by submission time, please let Amittai know by e-mail, or please attach whatever you have and then tell Amittai in your e-mail what problems you had encountered.

Finally, if the homework requires a drawing or figure, please do one of the following (from most to least preferable): (1) draw it in some kind of graphics software and attach a reasonably-sized graphics file (JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, etc.) to your e-mail submission; (2) draw it by hand, scan it into a graphics file, check t make sure that it is visible and legible, and attach it to your e-mail submission; (3) if you cannot do (1) or (2), submit a paper hardcopy of the drawing portion to Amittai personally or to his mailbox (box 311 on the first floor of AKW near the front entrance). In general, please always accompany the graphic with a brief text description of whatever is important in it -- for instance, if it's a logic circuit, you should also submit a Boolean equation for each such circuit; if it's a computer architecture diagram, submit a brief narrative description of how each operation works; etc.
