Object-Oriented Programming FundamentalsCIS150AB8 Virtual Classes  I will hold virtual classes each week for all online courses.  The schedule of virtual classes will be published the first week of class.  Virtual classes are optional, but I highly recommend you attend. We will be discussing the programming project as well as other topics.

Object-Oriented Programming FundamentalsCIS150AB9 Workload  As a rule, college classes require 1 – 3 hours of outside study for each class credit hour. This means this class will require 3 – 9 hours of outside work. Please remember this is only an estimate and your results will vary.  Because of the nature of software development, I would recommend you budget on the high side of this estimate.

Object-Oriented Programming FundamentalsCIS150AB10 Authorship  I encourage you to work with other students regarding course concepts. However, I expect all work submitted by you to be your own work.  Failure to comply with this rule will result in failure of the assignment for all concerned and withdrawal from the course with a grade of “Y” (withdraw failing).

Object-Oriented Programming FundamentalsCIS150AB11 Assignment / Program Submission  All assignments will be submitted in Canvas.  MS Word (preferred), RTF, or plain text for programming assignments are all acceptable.  Programs consisting of multiple files should be sent in a WinZip file.
