The purpose of all projects in this course is to provide hands-on learning of course content. Each project relates to concepts discussed in your textbook or in supplemental reading. Feel free to ask for guidance if you are uncertain about how to proceed on any of them. The projects are intended to be interesting and instructive, not frustrating. Be sure to start work on each project early enough to allow for delays caused by difficulties that might arise and require communication with your instructor. Scoring will be based on how effectively it appears that students have mastered the related concepts (which includes simplicity - please do not clutter your work with unrequested or overly complex code). Projects submitted past the deadlines listed in the course schedule will have points deducted. Remember that all projects must be completed to the satisfaction of your instructor prior to the final exam for you to pass the course.
