Zero or more quizzes will be dropped. One or more comprehensive
makeup quizzes will be given near the time of the final exam. No
other makeup quizzes will be given. You will always be given at
least one class's notice prior to a quiz.  Quizzes may contain
both "open book" and "closed book" questions.

Projects should be written in a coding style that is consistent
with Linux kernel standards.  In particular text lines longer
than about 70 characters and functions longer than about 30
lines and while/if nesting > 3 deep should be avoided.
Code should also be commented in a meaningful way and it should
be possible to enable/disable debugging printks at make time.
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle for additional
details.

You may work either by yourself or in a TWO person team. You are
free to discuss assigned work with other teams and are
encouraged to conduct joint interoperability tests. You may look
at other teams code <<on the screen>> if they ask you to during
such testing.

If working in a team, each FUNCTION must have a single primary
author.  The author's name must appear at the top of the function.
ALL data entry and changes to that function MUST be performed
by the function's author.

The following offenses will lead to a grade of F in the course:

    Sharing of machine readable code segments with other teams.

    Stealing of machine readable code segments from other teams.

    Sharing of <<code listings>> with other teams.

    Use of any code that is both not written by your team and not
    present in the kernel. (You are free to copy from the
    kernel --- but that is the ONLY source that you are free
    to copy from --- unnecessary code bloat due to unneeded
    kernel copying will lead to deductions but is not illegal.

    It is YOUR responsibility to protect your code.  Don't leave
    it on Lab machines, because there are current students in
    our program who HAVE demonstrated the willingness and ability
    to steal such code.

Late assignments will be subject to a deduction of n^2 where n is the
number of days late. Assignments will be due no later than 11:59pm on
the due date. Weekend days count in the deduction computation.
