Communication with Instructor
E-mail is my main form of communication. You may also call my office phone, and leave a message on my machine. Or, stop by during office hours and most times when I am in my office.

Grading
Students have the option of a project or a research paper. See the links on the course web page for information about these options. Grades will consist of a number of different components including programs, tests, and labs. For either the project or paper, you will need to do one in-class presentation. Everyone will do a presentation. Both undergraduates and graduates. Class participation will figure into your grade. The following percentages will be used to compute your grade:

Grade Percentages
   30% Homework/Programs
   30% Labs
   30% Project or Research Paper and Presentation
   10% Class Participation

All assignments are due on the date specified for the assignment. If the assignment requires you to turn in a printout, then turn in a printout. If you have to miss class the day the assignment is due, contact me ahead of time to arrange a time to turn it in. There is no penalty for one day late. If you need more than one day, contact me and we can make arrangements.
