The CodeRunner exercises are worth 10% of your final mark. The exercises start in the second week of the semester. The exercises are designed to give you practical experience with the concepts which you have learnt in lectures. Each week you should make sure you have read through the lecture slides and have done any other preparation required before you attend the laboratory.

The exercises are submitted using the CodeRunner website. Submissions are graded by running a series of test cases of the code in a sandbox and comparing the output of your program with the expected output. This automated testing allows you to obtain immediate feedback on your progress throughout the course. Some submissions will also be graded manually to provide further feedback. You will be able to access your exercises by logging into:

Cheating is viewed as a serious offence by the University of Auckland. Penal- ties are administered by the Discipline Committee of the Senate, and may include suspension or expulsion from the university.

Although you are welcome to verbally discuss assignment problems with your friends, you must develop the code for your assignments on your own - it is not acceptable to submit code or parts of a program written by someone else claiming it was your work.

We use many ways to check that the work each student submits for marking is their own work and was not produced by, or copied from, someone else.

• We start our checks by running a comparison program, which automatically compares all submissions from students.

All assignments deemed to be too similar will be assigned a zero mark on the entire assignment, and will be invited (by email) to discuss the situation with the course supervisor.

• Both the person who copied the work, and the person whose work was copied, are allocated a zero mark.
  • It is important that you do not lend your assignments to others. Never give anyone a copy of your assignment. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that others do not copy their work.
• Offenders may be referred to the University Disciplinary Committee.
• For more information, please see the University's Academic Integrity webpage.
