Homework Assignment 9

Redo one assignment

Handed out: ???, 2009
Due: midnight, April 28, 2009

You may redo one assignment for the term.  You can chose which one to redo and we'll regrade it.  There will not be extra credit for this.  Follow the instructions for the particular assignment you wish to redo.  You may only redo one.  We suggest the one you scored the lowest on though some may just want extra time on the ray-tracing assignment (not turning in that until April 28, 2009)

 

Your writeup must include standard writeup material but also have a section describing what is different between this assignment and the one it is replacing as well as why it wasn’t done the first time and how difficult it was to include in the redo.  The writeup must state which assignment is being redone.

Submission

use the handin routine in the CADE Lab. You can with zip or tar your solution. You should comment your code appropriately and hand in a web-page that will serve as complete documentation. Please include a paragraph of difficulties and a paragraph of what you learned in this assignment.

The handin name for this lab is "lab9".  This is so we know what was redone. You should name the zip file: redo_labX.zip where X is the number of the assignment you are redoing  Be sure to handin a complete write-up explaining what was improved, how and why.

Windows users should use the Zip utility and handin a single zipped file. Unix users should use the tar program to do the same. We will recompile the programs to grade them. Make sure your workspace/program will compile for us. That is, be careful about your user-specific pathname variables! If you do this on a home machine, please allow sufficient time for porting to the CADE machines. We will grade based on compiling and running on the CADE machines.

Due to a bug in the handin program, do not include spaces in the names of the files that you submit, otherwise we will not receive them. For instance, "no spaces.txt" is not a valid filename and would not be received, while "no_spaces.txt" is valid. Please keep this in mind while handing in your assignment.
