• Final
- 40%
- 15%
- 20%

COP5570 – Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Programming
Florida State University
Programming assignments
• Individual projects
• 4 projects (at least 2 of them fairly large, > 1000
lines)
• Late submission
– 10% penalty per day for up to two days.
• Start early!
– Expect the servers to go down at any time. Do not
expect the project deadline to be postponed if the
servers are out of service for less than 1 day during the
project period.
– Ask questions early!

Grading Programming Assignments
• Grading is based not only on the software
functionality/quality, but also on
– Your understanding of your own code.
– Your preparation to demo the features of your program.
• A program that is “kind of” working is not good
enough.
• Make sure your code is completely ready BEFORE the due
time (usually the demo time). No modification is allowed after
demo starts.
• First unknown bug of any kind (major or minor) will cost 20%
of the project + the grade for the feature.
• The first known bug or unimplemented feature will cost extra
10% of the project.

Group Term Project
• Up to 3 students / per group
• Potential topics will be given at around the
midterm time.
• Requirement:
– Development component: substantial programming with
techniques covered in COP5570.
– Research component: something new, something useful.
• Bi-weekly progress reports after the
midterm, presentation and demonstration at
the end of the semester.

Grading group term project
• Based on
– Software developed
– Presentation and demonstration
– Progress reports and final report
• Main criteria
– Software quality, creativity, usefulness
– Relevance to the course
– Clearness in presentation and demonstration

• Academic Integrity
– Write your own code from scratch!!!
– No copying from anywhere including old submissions and code
from the Internet.
– Don’t ask anyone for solutions and don’t give or lose your code to
anyone.
– Automated (software) plagiarism detection tools will be used in
this course.
• Penalty
– Step 1 agreement: 0 for the particular assignment/exam and the
lowering of one letter (A->B) for course final grade.
– Second violation: handled by the University honor court.
– I will not hear any explanation, copying/being copied, lost/stolen
code, etc. These are for the honor court judges, not a professor.

Course policies
• Late projects
– Please work on homework assignments/projects early and hand in on time
– 10% penalty per day for up to 2 days
• No make-up exam
– unless proof of emergency (things beyond your control)

• Accommodation for Disabilities
1.Register with and provide documentation to the
Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC).
2.Bring a letter to me from the SDRC `indicating you
need academic accommodation. This should be
done within the first week of class

Review
• What will we do in this class?
• What are the grading items for the course?
• How is the project grading in this class different
from that in other classes?
• If I am told that I have violated the academic honor
code, can I argue for myself if I did not give the
code to anyone?
• What is the penalty for violating the honor code?
• Under what condition can one get an ‘I’ grade?
