Recommended:  A Java reference book

 (I will use the web page EXTENSIVELY, posting everything I can up there as soon as possible.  This includes all electronic forms of handouts, assignments, solutions, sample tests, etc.  Also I will post announcements, links to interesting, topic-related sites, etc.  So please check our page regularly!  At the very least, twice a week.  We also have a WebCT page for this course; go to http://webct.nmu.edu)


TOPICS:  (tentative, and not necessarily in order!)
OVERVIEW AND REVIEW

GRADING:  (tentative)
50% Programs.
10% Quizes
20% Exams in-class and take-home
10% Final exam, comprehensive.
10% Instructor's discretion
Late Policy:  For programs and homeworks, 5% off for each day late (counting only days that the university is open; e.g., not weekends or snowdays).   But of course I cannot accept them after solutions are handed out!  As for exams, those cannot be made up except under the most severe and extenuating emergencies!  Don't take a chance if you don't have to!  (If we have "enough" assignments and/or quizes, I will drop the lowest grade in that category.)

 COMPUTING FACILITIES:
We will be using TestPad and Sun's JDK (Java Developer's Kit).  See handout for instructions on how to download and install.  We will be doing this in class, duyring the first week.
