Please use the links above to navigate the website. Important announcements will be posted on this front page. Other course content will appear on the subpages linked above. Please check this website (especially the front page and calendar) regularly for updates.
This semester, we will be using Piazza for class discussions. If you have a question that may be of general interest to your fellow students, please post it on Piazza rather than emailing me directly. This allows others to answer your question or benefit from my answer. I will check the Piazza forum regularly and respond as quickly as I can. To access Piazza, log into Canvas and click the "Piazza" link in the navigation bar on the left. There should be a single, unified Piazza forum for all Fall Fall 2015 sections of CS 480.
Class projects will be submitted via the JMU CS Web-CAT system. Class grades will be accessible via Canvas, and online quizzes will be administered using Canvas as well.
