Expect to spend about 12 hours per
week on this course -- 3 in lecture, 3 in lab, and 6 outside of class.
Lab assignments will be posted every Saturday, one week before their Sunday due dates.
Completed lab work must be posted to the Student File Area of the COMSC server for credit.
All assignments are due at midnight of the evening
of the due date indicated on the course
outline.
For questions on assignments, use the online discussion group.
Students may post and reply to questions in order to help eachother.
The instructor monitors the discussions and answers questions
when appropriate. Use this method so that all students benefit
from questions, answers, and clarifications.
Contact the instructor in person in lab, lecture, or office hour,
or by email. You can use the phone during office hours -- if you
leave a voice message, calls will most likely not be returned.
Half-credit for late assignments up to one week late.
No credit thereafter. Late work will be accepted until noon on March 23rd.
No credit will be given for work that is not original. Points
awarded for lab work that is later found to be not original will be withdrawn.
Points awarded for work that is deleted from the Student File Area before grades are
assigned at the end of the semester will be withdrawn.
Lecture classes start at 7:00PM sharp. Do not trust classroom clocks -- check the time at

If it becomes necessary to withdraw from the class, it is the student's responsibility to do so.
