The course is a lecture/lab format, with lecture, discussion, and computer labs each day.
Participation in class is essential. Each day students will submit mini-assignments which weigh heavily on the grade (30%). If there is one for each class day, that means each is worth over 1% of the entire class. If you are not at class, these assignments cannot be made up without a doctor's note.
There will also be reading assignments with essay questions as well as some programming assignments which will require work at home or in USF labs.
