Texts: We will be using a special bundle of the text Computer Science Illuminated by Nell Dale and John Lewis, together with the Explorations lab CD. The ISBN for this bundle is 9780763755614.
Note that ordering the book alone (which has a different ISBN) will not
get you the CD! Apparently the bundle also includes the Python Programming booklet.
The last hour (or so) of each class will be devoted to a lab. You'll
generally have one week to complete the lab and turn it in, but completion during the lab period is recommended.

There will be daily labs during the semester, one in-class exam, the final, and possibly some quizzes. I will announce exam dates soon. The exam will be worth about 30% each, the final about 40-50%, with everything else accounting for the remainder. But these percentages are approximate; I might adjust them by +/- 5%. I may also make individual adjustments to these weights, but only in your favor.
My general course groundrules are here.
