Required (mandatory) assignments

The laboration series consists of a series of programming assignments to be presented gradually to a laboration assistant. To pass the lab series you need to have passing grade on all requiered (mandatory) assignments. General guidelines can be found here.

The assignments should be handed in before their respective deadlines, as outlined below.

IMPORTANT (updated 14/1/2013): March 22 is the deadline for the assignments. This is the last date for demonstration of, and handing in the code for, the laboration assignments. However, we STRONGLY recomend that you have your demonstration and hand in the code before March 8. From this date up until the exam, the TAs will not answer any questions about the labs. Please use this time to study for the exam. For those assignments that still require "more work", the final, hard deadline is on March 22, at 17.00. This is the last date for demonstration of, and handing in the code for, the laboration assignments. Contact your lab assistant and schedule a suitable time. After the deadline you will only be allowed to hand in assignment solutions during the exam periods for the TDTS04 course in May/June, but only if you have previously passed at least assignments 1 and 2. The hard deadline to hand in the assignments during the May/June exam period will be at the date of the TDTS04 exam (during that period).

From the date of the hard deadlines, there will be a two week window during which you have one chance to address the TA's concerns and resubmit an improved version: One week for the TA to mark the assignment and one week for you to address his/her concerns. Please take the TA's concerns seriously and address them as carefully as possible. If you have problems keeping a deadline, please contact your lab assistant as soon as possible.
