obtain credit for attendance by submitting study logs, which will summarize what you did
to study for IT 223 during the preceding week. Although exactly what you submit is up to
you, here are some suggestions: the number of hours you spent studying for the various
parts of the class (e.g., watching lectures and studying class examples, working on
tutorials, projects, and practice quizzes), what did you find interesting, hard, or
confusing, what questions did you have? If you have questions for the instructor,
email him directly, in addition to putting these questions in the study log.
Study logs are due each Tuesday, starting on April 9, for the preceding week. They are subject to late penalties. Study logs should be about one third to one half of a page in length. - Apr 1g. The official late penalty is 10% per day that a project is late. Projects will have a three day grade period before they are counted late. If you have extenuating circumstances, late penalties may be reduced if you talk to the professor, either by phone or via Zoom. Although it is possible for the late penalties to be reduced, they cannot be totally eliminated.
- Apr 1h. The last day to drop this class with full tuition refund is Sunday, April 14.
