Announcements:

• Please bring textbook and storage device (ie USB keydrive) to every class.
• You will need to use your Blackboard account to turn in assignments. If you are unfamiliar with Blackboard or need help accessing your account, there is extra help available during the first two weeks of classes at the Computer Center.
• Programming problem sets are due most weeks. Problem sets are posted on the class website, they reinforce concepts covered in class. Each problem set will have 5 problems. We will select 1 of these problems for full grading. That problem will be worth 10 points. To receive full credit for a program, the program must perform correctly, must include comments, and be written in good style. The other 4 problems will be graded on effort only and will each be worth 1 point. Extra credit will be availble for the 1 fully graded problem and will consist of 1 point for the completion of the problem 24 hrs ahead of the deadline and 2 points for the completion of the problem 48 hrs ahead of the deadline.
• Online quizzes will be due most weeks. These quizzes will be on blackboard and you will be allowed to take them as many times as you want. Each quiz will be worth 10 points.
• We will be using a variety of resources as textbooks. Two of them are free online books and one is a regular text. See the syllabus for more detail.
• You should install python on your home machine. It is free from www.python.org.
