General Course Info

• This course is held in Sander L203.
• This class uses the Internet intensively. All slides are available on line, as is project and assingment information. Blackboard is also used frequently in this course. Course information, quizzes, and reviews are available on blackboard. I also send out class-wide e-mails on blackboard, so please make sure that your e-mail address in blackboard is correct.
• Some of the material in this class is not covered in the book. In those situations, I have created my own material, and/or provided links to outside resources that I think cover the material well. Many of these links are educational, other are for commercial products. In respect of their copyrights, I generally link to the information instead of copy it on my own slides verbatim. I hope that you find these links, as well as my slides, useful in your professional life and refer to them frequently.
• Each class begins with a review quiz. This quiz is not graded, but rather a time to review material from previous classes and the reading due the day of the class. It provides a great time to discuss unclear concepts in class before moving on to more complex concepts.
• I usually plan on making and editing slides in the early evening or weekend preceeding class. Almost every time, I end up finding myself up late on Tuesday Night finishing up. Please pardon me if an occasional sentence goes astray. If you find any errors or inaccuracies (misspellings included), please let me know so that I can fix them. When I do make a change, I note it with the date changed, and put the changed text in a different color.
• The source code for my in class demos, as well as the in class (not for a grade) lab assignments are almost always on line with the slides. The graded programming assignments closely follow these, so feel free to refer to them.
• In your professional career, you will be able to search the Internet for source code to share and reapply. Doing this effectively is a good trait. If you find something on the Internet that you would like to reapply, feel free to do so. Just a few rules: 1) don't copy a classmate's work, 2) at least half of your program should be original work, 3) don't use anything copyrighted, and 4) all source code must be documented, whether it is your original work or not.
