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 projects making up the rest. The final will be Monday, May 3, in our usual room.


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.



Here is assignment 1, due March 29

Here is assignment 2, due at the end of the semester. It involves server configuration, group policy setup, and a report explaining what you did.

Here are some supplemental notes for assignment 2. I'll keep updating them as problems arise.

There is no final exam.

Here is the course survey. You have through Sunday night, May 2, to answer it.
