There will be an assignment almost every week, and it will be due by the end of the following class period. You should be able to do most of it in class, however. If it is late, do not bother turning it in (unless you have a valid excuse). There will be handouts, and I will show how to do the assignments in class, but it is assumed that you already have some computer programming experience. If I think you should already know a concept, I will tell you.

 

Be sure to save all messages with your scores (at least until you see them reported correctly on the Web after each test). That is the proof you did the assignment.

 

The four tests consist of 40, 5-choice questions. The final consists of questions from the first three tests. If you are unable to take a test because of a valid excuse such as sudden illness, you may be able to count the final as 30% with the instructor’s approval.

 

Attendance will not be taken. If you miss class, ask another student what you missed. Don’t ask me.
