Sometimes things happen. If there are circumstances that prevent you from meeting your obligations for this course, you need to talk to me to make arrangements IN ADVANCE.

The Lab - Stanger 308:

Technically, you don't need to use the lab because you can install most of the software on your own computer. However, working up in the lab on these programming assignments is a great way to meet other people in the course, ask me questions if I'm around.. The lab is open from 8AM to 12AM during the week. During some of that time the lab is used as a classroom. You can find the schedule here.
