Miscellaneous Details

Assignment submission options are not stored until they are accepted.

A sample submission test script may be found here.

Assignment categories are weighted relative to the total weight of all categories.

Valid letter grades are A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F.

Required files should be written one per line.

Tab replacement only applies to text files. No-tab-replacement expressions should be written one per line and may be either a filename, *, or a Perl-style regular expression (without beginning or end slashes). If only * is set, no tabs will be replaced; if * and others are set, only filenames matching the given expressions will have their tabs replaced.
