---+++Assignments
This course will be divided into two section.  Section one (Mondays and Wednesdays) will be about computing.  Section two (Fridays) will be about developing skills to be a good student and life long learner.
---++++Computing work
This work is divided into exams and homework/activities.  The dates of the exams will be found on the schedule in the syllabus.<br><br>
Activities will be announced in class and typically turned in via canvas.  The canvas assignment will typically just have the name and due date.  All work needs to be turned in as a *pdf* document.  Any work turned in with a different format will be rejected and will need to be turned in late with a 10% penalty the first time, 20% the second, and rejected after that.  There will probably be quizzes and other assignments made.<br><br>
Two assignments are as follows.  The due dates are found in canvas (by midterm and before the final exam week).  Announcements will *not* be made in class.  You are responsible to track these yourself.  Standard late policy will apply to these assignments.<br>
You are to react to current events/publications.  A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph.  It should include s summary of what was said and your reaction.  Be sure to give a complete reference to the item.  These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published.  You may pick when.  Each one does have a deadline.  The ones you pick must be unique to this course
   a. Write a reaction to one article in the ACM !TechNews.  This needs to be completed by midterm.
   a. Write a reaction to one article in XRDS.  This needs to be completed before the final.
