Went to the Co-op today and no iClickers. They didn't have a firm on answer on when they would come in. "Maybe tomorrow?.?..?"

So, everyone will get attendance credit on Friday, August 28. If you have an iClicker please bring it to class. I'll reevaluate the situation on Friday.

And if it wasn't clear even though there were questions with the iClicker today, today (Wednesday, 8/26) didn't count as 1 of the 40 attendance days.

August 19: Welcome! I am in the process of posting the materials for the summer term. The first day of our class is Wednesday, August 26.

Discussion section on Tuesday, September 1 will be optional help sessions that will meet in the Painter Hall microlab. No quiz will be given on September 1.

The course syllabus and schedule have been posted. Assignment 1A has been posted. The Javabat problem set page has also been posted.

I visited the Co-op to see if they have the recommended books and iClickers. Both of the recommended books are in stock. The iClickers are in the basement with textbooks against the wall behind a big section of Biology books. If you are directionally inclined they are on the north wall in the basement, near the western wall.
