Details about this class

The course consists of assignments, discussion, a midterm, and a final exam.

All assignments must be submitted by the due date. You have 1 week grace period after which the drop box will close unless you have made special arrangements with your instructor.

The midterm and the final exam will be done online for 120 mins each and you will be randomly picked to meet with the instructor to go over the code. More information in the class syllabus.



Technology

This course uses an online textbook from zyBooks.com - there is no hardcopy textbook. The text can be accessed using any standard web browser. I will email the class list a code in order to purchase the textbook around a week before Summer term begins.

Students must have access to a personal computer and a C++ compiler. You can use repl.it, a browser coding environment, for most of your assignments. 

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
