Homework assignments will be posted on this page. Assignments are expected to be turned in by 23:55 on the due date. You should upload your solutions to the homework assignments using Moodle before the deadline.

For the late submissions, each student will be given two grace days for each homework assignment (with no deduction of points). If no submission is received within two days after the homework deadline, no submission will be accepted for that homework.

Please make sure you fully understand the Bilkent University Policy on Academic Honesty (in Turkish) and the Rules and Regulations of the Higher Education Council (YOK) (in Turkish). Cheating and plagiarism on exams and homework assignments will be punished according to these regulations.

A very important guideline on academic integrity is the Honor Code for Introductory Programming Courses (CS 101/2 and 201/2) in our department. Please make sure that you are fully aware of these guidelines.

Grading Policy

Homework:20%
