An average student should expect to spend at least as much time studying outside of class as spent in class. Review the schedule in advance to determine any conflicts that may arise regarding holidays or travel plans. Realize that all posted dates are deadlines for activities that you will be performing in this course. You are welcome to submit work early. Try to stay ahead of the schedule; don't just keep up with it. Contact me immediately if you cannot meet a deadline.
The readings used in this course are compiled from a few popular web sites related to the content of this course. These have been combined into a Virtual Textbook on the instructor's web site. Beware that we will be accessing pages on those sites in an order different from some of those sites. We will not cover all chapters from those sites, although all are valuable reading. Exercises and tests on those sites are useful, but will not be submitted for grading in this class.
Reading involving the Virtual Textbook and the or related online example pages should be completed before attempting any project or assessment.
This schedule and any changes to it will be posted on the course web site. You also are advised to review the web pages regarding academic schedules on the .
