COMMENTS:

Exams must be written at the scheduled time (no make-up exams except for medical reasons).
This course involves 6 assignments that will require a considerable amount of time, outside of the scheduled class times, to be spent on designing, debugging, testing, and running actual C++ programs.
Late submission of assignments is discouraged. However assignments will be accepted up to one day late with a 20% late penalty.
Out-of-class help is available from the Instructor and the Academic Assistant.
There is a course web page. Announcements, assignments, examples, solutions and useful internet links can be found there. You will be responsible for any announcements posted on this page.
Although discussing assignments with other class members is acceptable, and even encouraged, and often leads to new insights, copying of assignments is a very serious offence. See the University of Lethbridge Calendar Part 4 pg 63–68. Submitted solutions must be your own work.

Tentative Assignment Schedule (This may be altered)
