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. Please note that each problem has different due date. 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.
• Programs and notes can be found at the book's site . We are using the second edition (Python 3) of Zelle's Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science. See the syllabus below for more details.
• You should install python on your home machine. It is free from www.python.org.
