Projects

• Most of these topics will have a project associated with the material - the projects will be described on the web page and will be submitted electronically.  You will receive feedback and grade on your work electronically. All projects must be submitted by the date and time specified on the class web page.  You will have a 24 hour grace period where you can still submit the project with a 20% penalty, but after the 24 hours, the project is not worth any credit.  If you have a documented illness (as described below), and receive approval from the instructor, you could be given an extension beyond the 24 hour limit.
