Possibly one or more lab sessions. 2 or 3 mid-term exams. One comprehensive final over the entire book. Homework assignments are normally to be handed in at the beginning of class on the date due. Students with legitimate excuses should talk to the instructor as soon as possible about late assignments or missing tests.
All work counts towards grade calculation.
Textpad has been set up with automatic links to the Java libraries and executables. An evaluation version of Textpad can be downloaded from the Helios website listed in the next section, and the JDK can be downloaded from the Sun Microsystems website. Textpad is not required, as calls to the JDK executables can be made easily from the command line. If you download your own version of the JDK, make sure you get the 1.2.2 version, for Java 2.
