CSCI 3410 - Class Schedule

Submitted by dan on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 11:36

This class follows the university undergraduate and graduate academic calendars. I prefer all submissions by email by midnight of the due date (which is almost always a Tuesday). If your work requires submitting something other thanthough email or blackboard (paper, CD, a device, etc) then it should be in my mailbox in the Academic Center (704) by 4:00 PM (not later) on the due date or you can give it to me before, during, or after class on the due date. ALL submissions after these times will be considered late.
