Requirements
As a student wanting to learn about the Java language, it is your responsibility to read
the textbook and the supplemental materials posted in the blackboard, complete
assignments in time, participate in the classroom exercises and activities, and attend
class regularly.
As I believe that engaging the students in the learning is essential for teaching to be
effective, you will spend the majority of class time involved in collaborative activities.
You will be involved in class exercises, collaborate with your classmates and your
instructor. As you will want to contribute to these discussions, you will need to come to
class prepared to discuss, analyze and evaluate information from your text and other
assigned readings.
