In classic fashion, I'm fascinated by [what I suspect is] a different aspect of this syllabus than OP.<p>> An autograder will be distributed with some of the homework. The autograder is there so you can tell if your work is correct.<p>This kind of thing makes me wish I had done better in high school and could have studied at a school of Stanford's caliber. I can think of many occasions in which I thought my code was satisfactory, but it failed to meet the professor's expectations (which were not clear in the assignment instructions).
