CS 473: Homework and Exam Policies

The course staff must critically examine several thousand pages of homework and exam submissions this semester! We desperately need your help to make sure your work is graded and returned quickly. If you have any questions or concerns about these policies, please don't hesitate to ask in lecture, during office hours, on Piazza, or by email..

I apologize in advance for the length of this document. Most of this stuff is obvious to almost everybody, but after teaching this class for many years, I've seen a lot of strange things.
