---+++ Assignments
Homework, quizzes, etc. will be made throughout the semester.  The quizzes will typically be online.  Homework should be turned in via hard copy (and extremely legible) at the start of class on the day assignment unless otherwise specified.  Standard late policy applies.<br><br>
There are two additional assignments involving reactions to current events. 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 a 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. It must be programming related. This needs to be completed by midterm.
   a. Write a reaction to one article in XRDS. It must be programming related. This needs to be completed before the final.
