Have a great summer! |
Readings are due each Monday. Homeworks and projects are due AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS on the following Monday unless it is a holiday. In that case they are due the first class period after the holiday.
Chapters 3 and 4 should be read and the programming problems for chapters 1 and 2 should be done by Monday, 8/20, so we can move forward promptly. Problems are always due the first day of class that week. (If you are focused during class, this is unlikely to be a problem.)
Unexcused late homework, projects, quizzes, and tests will be given a score of zero. If you expect to have problems meeting a deadline, I need to know about it in advance. Excuses after the fact will be given zero tolerance, barring a note signed by parents.
