Labs: All labs are due Wednesdays at 11:59 PM on the dates indicated except for the first lab which is still due at 11:59 PM but on Monday, October 12. You need to turn in the final report and the associated implementation through gradescope. You can work in teams of two on all labs except for the first which needs to be done individually

Late Lab Policy: Labs turned in after the 11:59 PM deadline on the designated day are subject to a late lab policy. Late days reduce the total number of points available for the lab by an increasing scale. Namely, 10% of your grade is lost for labs being up to 1 day late, an additional 20% is lost for labs that are late by 2 days, and an additional 30% for labs 3 days late. As you can guess by now, the additional fourth late day would reduce your grade by an additional 40%, making the lab‘s evaluation pointless; therefore, no late lab will be accepted 72 hours after the labs are due.

Integrity: All work in the final exam must be strictly your own; all work in any of the labs must be your own or possibly of your teammate (with the exception of the first lab which should be completed individually). You must neither copy from nor provide assistance to anybody else. Each student is assumed to be familiar with the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship as described in the UCSD General Catalog. Be sure to discuss any questions about these policies with the instructor.
