Homework 1

I have posted homework 1 here.

It is due this coming Sunday at 11:59 PM.

Completing the Apply Process

Some of you have not completed the Apply process.

You must do this to get a class directory.

Without a class directory you cannot submit assignments.

Help with the Apply Process

If you have difficulty with the Apply process you must get help NOW!

You can see me after class or during office hours.

You can connect me on Zoom during office hours.

Or you can contact the Class Assistant.

Whatever it takes, complete the Apply process.

Review Classes

This class and the two classes next week will be review classes.

I will cover the material from IT 116 that you need to know for this class.

You should use this period to brush up on your knowledge of Python.
