This blog acts as a supplemental source for information regarding this class in addition to the class homework folder in Google Drive. If you have not accessed the class folder in Google Drive yet, be sure to do so as soon as possible. While a syllabus describing all the wonderful projects and assignments in store should currently be in your possession, that text is subject to change. As with all aspects of life, change is unavoidable. This site is meant to alert you of those changes while acting as a teaching aid for said assignments. The class homework folder in Google Drive will contain all the assignments given in class--be sure to check it periodically.
