Extra Credit

I will occasionally give extra credit. It will most often replace portions of an assignment. Please don't ask for extra credit.

Late Work

You will be able to submit one assignment as late for full credit and after that all late assignments will be given half credit.

Time Commitment

As a general rule you should spend at least twice as much time outside of class as in class.

Tips for Success

One cannot learn all of the material by just reading the text. Practice is critical when learning new software and programming languages. Successful students read the upcoming material ahead of time. They participate actively in class. If you are struggling with any concept please come see me during my office hours. The number one thing you can do is ask questions when you don't understand something.
