Course Documents:

• Syllabus
• CIS Academic Honesty Policy

Announcements:

I will post announcements at Piazza. Please check there regularly.

Discussion Board:

Please post questions about homework, projects, etc. to Piazza. Doing so allows everybody to see the question and answer and saves me the time of answering the same question multiple times. Other students can also answer your question, which may help you get a faster response.

Grades:

I will push a grade report into your Progress Report git repository about once per week.
