Exercises and Exams
All course material will be release at 15:00 UTC. Finger exercises have no due date, but we encourage students to complete them as they view the lectures. See the Calendar tab for Problem Set due dates. Regrettably, extensions are unavailable for any assignment.
All problem sets will be due at 23:30 or 11:30 pm UTC. This is the Coordinated Universal Time, also known as the Greenwich Mean Time. Convert to your local time zone using an online converter such as this one:

Exams are scheduled in advance. The Quiz will take place from March 21 (15:00 UTC) – March 24 (23:30 UTC). The Final Exam will take place from April 18 (15:00 UTC) – April 21 (23:30 UTC). The exams will take place online, on the course website.
You will be expected to sit for the exam for one continuous 12-hour block during each exam period; you may choose the block of time based on your own schedule. While the quiz is written to take only 90 minutes, and the final exam is written to take about 2 – 3 hours, we provide 12 hours of time with the understanding that some students may have slow internet connections.
During the exam period, the forums will be shut down. You will still be able to read posts but you will not be able to post any questions. The honor code prohibits students from communicating with one another during the exam period in any way whatsoever – so please don’t discuss the exam on any other forum, website or in person with anyone else.
