Labs

Labs must be turned in by the start of lecture on the day they are due. For the policy on late labs, see the syllabus.

Labs are turned in using Carmen. Please submit each lab by zipping or tarring all the requested files for that lab into a single file which you then upload to the Carmen dropbox. Furthermore, please name this zip or tar file according to your own last name.

You can submit each lab as many times as you like (up until 48 hours after the official deadline), but only your last submission will be graded and will determine your grade and possible late penalties. Make sure each submission is complete and includes all required files. The grader will not extract files from earlier submissions.

Note the deadline for the last lab (lab 9). No late submissions will be accepted for lab 9.
