PS1, Part 5: Tagging

Problem Eleven: Tag Pages, Add Your Partner, and Plan Ahead for Hiccups

When you submit this problem set on Gradescope, you'll be asked to tag your pages (identify which pages have the answers to which problems on them). Tagging pages is immensely helpful to the TAs when grading. If you tag your pages, when the TAs go to grade a particular problem, they'll be presented with your solution automatically. Conversely, if you don't tag your pages, when the TAs go to grade a particular problem, Gradescope will tell them something to the effect of "the student might not have answered this question at all." How sad!

Please always tag your problems. Note that Gradescope marks your submit time as the time you uploaded your PDF, so please NEVER skip tagging problems in an attempt to not go over the deadline. It won't delay your submit time, and it will greatly frustrate the graders and possibly cause you to lose points. We reserve the right not to grade problems that have not been tagged.

Similarly, when you submit this problem set, if you worked with a partner, you'll be asked to add your partner to your submission. (Remember that, if you worked with a partner, even on just one or two problems, you and your partner are required to make a single joint submission.) Make sure to add your partner on the submission since, if you don't, they won't get any credit for all the work they did. How sad!

Finally, we also recommend that you not submit problem sets close to the deadline, to avoid mishaps of all kinds (wifi going out at the worst moment, etc.). You are engineers in training, so demonstrating an understanding of fault tolerance is an in-scope thing for us to hold you accountable for in grading. For that reason, we expect you to get your work in on time and generally do not grant exceptions for technical issues, such as wifi going out when attempting to submit an assignment at 12:57 PM. Please take the initiative to prepare accordingly by doing things like aiming to finish a few hours before each deadline, submitting draft versions of your work as you complete individual problems so you have a version that will at least get most of the credit even if catastrophe should strike and block submission of your final version, and so on.

You'll receive credit on this problem if you tag all your pages and, if you're working with a partner, you include your partner on the submission. Aside from this, you do not need to do anything to answer your problem.
