Guidelines for IT 231 Project Submissions

  1. Late Penalties are 10 points per day. Although the late penalty can be reduced under special circumstances, it cannot be totally eliminated. For the reduction of the late penalty for a project to be reduced, an in-person or Zoom meeting with the professor is required.
  2. Submit projects on D2L. All projects must be submitted on D2L; no projects will be accepted via email.
  3. Keep backup copies of all assignments.   The late penalty will not be waived if you lose an assignment or your computer crashes.
  4. Projects cannot be resubmitted after the score is posted on D2L except under special circumstances. Projects can be resubmitted without penalty before the due date.
  5. Submitted files must have standardized names. Create the files for a project in a folder named tutorial1-smith or proj1-smith (replace Smith by your last name and 1 by the actual tutorial or project number). Then, when you have completed the project, zip up the entire folder, which will be named proj1-smith.zip.
  6. Submitted files, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and EJS files must contain a header for full credit. Submitted files must contain a header with comments containing your name, the name of the project, the due date, and the submission date at the top. For example:
    // Stan Smith  JavaScript comment
// Project 1a
// Due Date: Apr 13
// Submission Date: Apr 11

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Stan Smith  HTML comment
     Project 1a
     Due Date: Apr 13
     Submission Date: Apr 11 
     Note: source code header is
           after the validation 
           header              -->

/* Stan Smith  CSS comment
   Project 1a
   Due Date: Apr 13
   Submission Date: Apr 11 */
    Do not place comments in JSON files.
  7. Maximum 10% penalty for submissions that do not follow the above specs.
  8. Include source code comments in your submission. Comments count 10% of the project score.
  9. Check your submission.   Double check that you have submitted the correct document for your project. Submitting the wrong document is not a reason to waive the late penalty.
