Textbook: Problem Solving with C++ by Walter Savitch

Grading Policy:
The lowest graded programming assignment will be dropped. All programming
assignments must be completed however. No late programming assignments will
be accepted. For students with genuine documented reasons for missing the
midterm arrangements will be made. Programming assignments will be collected
from the submit directory of your account.
If after receiving a midterm or programming assignment back you believe a
grading error has occurred please see Dr. Dinov or your TA (TBA).
Reading assignments will be given. You will be held responsible for the
information covered in these assignments.

Programming Assignment Policy:
You are allowed to discuss general aspects of programming problems with classmates.
However this discussion should not involve the exchange of actual code. Namely,
the code you submit must be your own independent work.
