Overview of Work Over the Break

During our break from class, you will have two assignments. One will be a project. The information for this project is posted in the previous post.

Additionally, you will have an open-book exam to complete during class time on Thursday, October 13th. You will need to visit our OpenLab class site at 11:30 that morning and download the test. (It will not be available before that time.) Complete it and turn it in before the end of class that day (1:00 pm) to receive full credit.

Your vocabulary log is also due on the 18th. Look in the documents section at the top of this page for information on what is expected.

Please pay close attention to the CityTech Academic Calendar in the coming weeks, as classes are not being held on some days while other times the schedules are changed, and it is your responsibility to know where you need to be on which day.

These are the books you need for this class. Buying them is a requirement:
