Forum
Please keep up with and participate in the class forum. You may need to register an account before posting. I will use the forum for broadcast announcements and to answer questions that may be interesting to more than one of you. Further, the forum is the best medium for asking questions about homeworks, for debugging your programming environment, and for posting the latest Internet rumor. Thus, unless it is private, post to the forum before writing e-mail.
Attendance, Group Interactions, and Class Participation
This is a senior-level course; I will not mandate you to come to class (you are still responsible for all the material covered in class). The class project is a major part of this course, and please be aware that you will be working in groups of four. Lastly, note that 5% of your grade is based upon class participation. This is to encourage you to voice your ideas in class and to post them to the forum. Minimally, I must know your name by the end of the term in order for you to get any points for class participation.
