This summary was subsequently updated with the July 1999 version by John F. Delaney and Robert Murphy being used for the Fall 1999 semester. Additional readings may be assigned per class period and topic time frames may be adjusted to accommodate guest speakers. These online discussions will be a component of the class participation. Note, however, that if you are not in class, you cannot receive credit for in-class participation. Students are expected to refrain from ad hominem responses to statements made by each other during class discussions.
Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date unless notice is given to the contrary.
Late assignments may be accepted, but are subject to late penalties. Each student will need an E-mail account to receive and transmit material relating to the class. An Athena or Groupwise account is acceptable. The Eduprise EMCS311 Forum has similar restrictions on who can access the forum as well as you will be required to use the Eduprise id and password to gain access to the class pages and class online forum hosted by Eduprise. If a student has any question as to whether an assignment or class activity is one in which it should only be one individual's work, please ask the instructor.
