CHAPTER QUESTIONS:

It is important for you to complete the chapter assignments in a timely manner Answers to Chapter Questions are due at the end of the week on the dates indicated on the syllabus. That is, you must have completed the quiz by the time indicated in the Syllabus.

The exact due date of Chapter Questions are listed below and in the course calendar in WebCT.

PROJECTS:

It is also important for you to complete the project assignments in a timely manner Projects are due on the dates indicated on the syllabus. That is, you must have uploaded your project to WebCT by the date indicated. Be sure to double check these dates.. The maximum score attainable will be reduced by 50% if I receive your project after that point in time but before  the following week. Projects handed in more than 1 week late will receive a score of zero points.

You may not turn in the same project more than once. If a project has multiple parts (for example parts A and B), you must turn in all parts at the same time.  You cannot turn in one part one week and the other part another week. In cases such as this, the entire assignment will assumed to have been turned in on the later date.

The exact due date of assignments are listed below and in the course calendar in WebCT.

EXAMS:

The midterm exam will be made available on the of the week indicated in the course calendar. It is due by 11:55 on the date indicated in the attached schedule.

Questions:

Your willingness to ask questions will be one of the biggest factors in your success in this class.  Check the class bulletin board first to make sure your question has not already been asked and answered. If it has not, post your question to the bulletin board. I monitor the bulletin board throughout the day on Monday through Friday.  Other students may also answer your question.  You can post questions on the bulletin board anonymously. Feel free to email me directly if you have a question and you are uneasy about asking that question on the bulletin board. I check the class email email several times a day Monday through Friday.  I often check the bulletin board and email on the weekends and holidays.  However you should not count on a response during these periods. Plan your work so that questions can be handled Monday through Friday.
