Office Hours:
Office Hours is set for Right Before Class. You can also bring up whatever questions you may have either before or after the class, or on the class forum. Let me know when you want to meet.

Homeworks:
There will be a bunch of homeworks, and a quiz every class.

Tests:
There will be a midterm and a final exam.

In This Class:
Peer cooperation is encouraged, however, everyone must submit their own work. You will be expected to answer detailed questions about your assignments. (i.e.: if you didn't write them, I'll know.)

Attendance is not mandatory, but highly recommended. [you must attend at least a few times in the first six weeks, or you will be dropped from the class with a WU grade] Also, it would be VERY difficult to pass the class without regular attendence; you are responsible for catching up if you miss class.

All projects, assignments, homeworks, etc., will be submitted via email. Do not print out the assignments

Grading:
Tentative grade breakup: 25% Midterm, 40% Final, 35% Homeworks & Quizes.
