Next-day shipping is available and convenient.
The instructor will also provide some additional material during the semester. There is substantial course content in Canvas to help explain and support the book. Be sure to read ALL of the course content.
It is highly recommended that you bring your own laptop computer to class. PCs are preferred. It may not be possible to load the IDE (Visual Studio 17 if you choose to go that way) onto MACs. MACs will work with the online compilers such as ideone.com though. So if you do have a MAC you can use it if you need to.

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is _July 17, 2019 for summer III___.
