Students will be expected to do all required readings before the class indicated in the class calendar to increase their comprehension of the lectures and exercises and to enable effective participation in discussions. The ability to interpret instructions independently is an important attribute for information work. It is a necessity for success in the Information Age. This class will require that students read, interpret, and apply complex sets of instructions accurately. And of course, I expect that all work done for this course is your own work.
