• Syllabus 
• Course Policies
• Code in classroom (click here)
• Assignments. Requirements - Type BOTH of questions and answers (that should be highlighted) to the document in a fine format (handwriting is NOT accepted); for the programming assignments, comments for ALL operational statements and format for the code with functional modules. BOTH of the programs and the I/O screen-shot examples  are copied to ONE document (including all sub-questions and projects). The document should be named as CS310assignment#_FirstNameLastName.doc. Email the document as an attachment to the instructor (usvwccs@gmail.com). The email subject is the same as the file name.
