Final Exam change

Folks,

Since there's already a winter storm warning for tomorrow and the forecast is getting worse every hour, let's not even take the chance. I've put the exam on moodle so you can take it there. Same structure as the midterm, 25 multiple choice or T/F worth 2 points each, 5 short essay questions worth 10 points each for a total of 100 points. You get one attempt. Obviously you can use notes or the computer while taking the exam. I'm sorry for the late notice but I don't control the weather :) and I'd rather people not drive in bad conditions.

Unfortunately this also means I'm canceling my office hours tomorrow. To make up for it you guys can have until this Monday at midnight to get stuff turned in. That's the latest I can go because grades are due on Tuesday. Please email me if you have questions.

happy holidays

Final Exam

Our final was supposed to be scheduled for monday at 10am, but another class has a conflict so we'll reschedule it to Friday December 11th at 10am, in our normal classroom. If you're unable to make that time, please email me asap so we can make other arrangements.

Our last lecture will be this friday, covering gaming.

Remember all assignments are due by midnight on December 11th.

I have to cancel office hours for this week. Next week I'll be holding extended office hours:

This is mostly for my web design students but feel free to stop by if you need any last minute help with projects, grade questions etc.
