Analysis
Time
These should take only a few hours, including the reading. If you’ve spent more than five hours, come talk to us.
Grading Standard
A few of these assignments require writing code, but they are meant to be quick-and-ready code, not of the same standard as in Implementation.
Most of them require writing prose. We place a high premium on the quality of your writing, while also valuing concision.

CORR: The work was done correctly.

ZERO: The work was either completely off or missing.
ROBOT: The work looks like AI output. We expect the work to be your own. Please talk to a course staff member.
Software
Each assignment is different, and will tell you what, if any, software you need.
