Policy on Assignments

• Treat your homework as a report you are preparing for your boss. You are the GIS expert, your boss is ignorant. Your report should be clear to the non-GIS expert.
• Submissions must contain clear explanations of what you are doing.
• Assignments are due by Friday 5pm on the week after they are assigned.
• Assignments that are up to 1 week late will be assessed a 50% penalty.
• Assignments that are 1 to 2 weeks late will be penalized 80%.
• Assignments more than 2 weeks late get no credit.
• Assignments are 60% of your grade so get them done on time.
• A broken laptop is not an excuse to pass homework in late.
• Turn in your assignments as hardcopy.

!! Assignments must be done with MapBasic unless otherwise noted!!

1. Include a listing of the program(s) in the document described above.
2. Include a description of the purpose of each program file and how to run the project.
3. If you are asked to turn in the digital forms, place all files (other than your final document) into a Winzip file. Name the file with your last name, underscore, and the Assignment number (for example, smithj_hw2.zip). For programming files handed in, neccessary documentation and comments should be embedded, and they will be part of the credit.
