• All members of the group will receive the same grade
• Remember code developed as part of your assignments and lab problems will be marked using the environment in the CSIL lab
• Be sure to check that your code compiles and runs correctly in the CSIL lab environment before you submit it.
• If your code does not compile or run in the CSIL lab environment then you will receive a grade of 0 for the results and testing portion of your coding problem
