(1) Please note that labs 4 and 6 will be done in teams with classmates as subjects during the lab period,
and due a few days later.
It will not be possible to reschedule these lab activities, and therefore
you will need to attend these lab sessions in order to get lab marks!
Attendance will be taken to enforce this requirement.
(2) The grade recorded for the Upgraded Project (worth 10% of the total course grade)
will be the maximum of the grade for that resubmission and the grade on Project.
In other words, if the Upgraded Project is not resubmitted, or the grade on that resubmission
is less than the grade on the Project submitted by November 27, then the Project will simply be
worth 20% of the total course grade.
Late Penalties
When late work is accepted (i.e. the late penalty is not -100%),
the late penalty will be a progressive flat one as follows:
All assessments other than the modules will only allow a single file to be submitted. You can submit the same file as often as you want. However, only the latest copy will be graded. This will affect late penalties.
To submit a Visual Studio program, zip the entire VB folder into one zip file and submit that zip file in D2L. For the project prototypes, give your file the same name as your team. For example team B3 would submit their project prototype as B3.zip.
