Project 1: Zuul puzzles, started Nov 8
Project 2: ImageViewer extensions, started Nov 29
There will be several assignments during the semester, two in-class exams, and final. The final exam will be Wednesday, Dec 13, at 4:00. You can come earlier if you want to start earlier.

Sometimes you may be asked to resubmit assignments; as a general rule a resubmitted assignment will never receive a higher grade than that of someone who I didn't feel needed to resubmit. You do, however, get some grace regarding lateness when you resubmit. It is always better to submit what you have on time.
I may have you pair up to do some assignments.
