Readings are due each Monday.  Homeworks and projects are due AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS on the following Monday unless it is a holiday. In that case they are due the first class period following the Monday.

Example: Chapter 2 should be read by Monday, 2/1, so we can talk about it during class.  The written/programming homework for Chapter 1 is also due on Monday 2/1. (The chapter 1 reading cannot possibly be due on 1/25 because it is the first day of class. It is an exception to the rule and should be read along with chapter 2 by Monday, 2/1. Don't panic--you can skim it.)

Unexcused late homework, projects, quizzes, and tests will be given a score of zero.  If you expect to have problems meeting a deadline, I need to know about it in advance.  Excuses after the fact will be given zero tolerance, barring a medical excuse signed by parents. Note that I hate being this way, but being overly lenient makes it impossible for me to get my job done.
