Two exams and final - 25% each, Homework - 25%. Homework will be demonstrated in the lab. From 2 to 5 problems will have been assigned the previous week. During the demo, I will ask to see several of the assigned programs for that week. You will not know in advance which two I will want to see, so to be safe, you need to do the all the problems in the assignment. All programs need to be ready to go at the START OF THE LAB PERIOD, ON THE DAY THEY ARE DUE. I will not accept any late assignments.
Blue Font means that the schedule is definite. Black (italic) font means that the schedule is tentative.
