Text: no text! (we will continue to use DiNicolo for some topics.)

My general course groundrules are here. There will be a midterm and a final exam. Exams will count for between 70% to 80% of your grade, with homework and programs making up the rest.


Spring 2025:
I am generally in my office on Mondays from 10:00 to noon, and from 1:45 to 3:45.
Sometimes I have meetings or come in late, so check first.
I am also available other times via Zoom, by appointment. Contact me via email for the Zoom meeting ID.

 

Course Survey

The shortened takehome final is here. I received comments indicating that it was longer than expected, with which I agreed, and so I trimmed it a little. (The original is here.)

As with the midterm, use whatever sources you wish, though you should cite them.
It is due, well, I'll say Tuesday, May 6, but contact me if there's an issue.

The takehome midterm is here. You are expected to use google and the MS knowledge base as much as you need. It's due March 26.
