You are highly encouraged to ask your questions in the forum, this way other students can also benefit from it.
If you send us emails, please do so in plain text and in English only. No word documents please. Also, please write your names in emails.

Attention

  • 02-Nov-2003 The initial design + sample project with makefile must be submitted in a hardcopy format in class. Email is not acceptable.
  • The due date for the project is Thursday 22-January-2004, 10am.
    If you were in miluim, please contact us in advance.
  • Automatic scripts for unix: AutoScripts.zip. You can use these scripts to check that your project directory and makefile is ok.
    Refer to the Readme file for instructions. It is recommended that the partner that does not have the project under his home, tries to run the scripts.
    For questions about the automatic checking, contact Ohad Barzilay (ohadbr@post.tau.ac.il)

 

  • Late submission rules: projects submitted later than 22/01/2004 10am, but before 29/01/2004 10am, will be accepted and their grade will be maximum 95. Projects submitted after 29/01/2004 10am will not be accepted. The rule does not apply to people who got approved extensions for miluim/sickness reasons.
