Optional if you want the most recent edition you may buy the more expensive 11th edition instead. The author has been very good at adding new Java features to his textbook. However, as a language matures, they tend to add new capacities/features which results in language bloat. Language bloat occurs when a language has features that overlap previous capabilities and are seldom used.

But once expiration date hits, quizzes/tests are gone forever. To view your quiz grades, click the Canvas's quiz grades tab. Assignment page and schedule list exact due dates. |
In this hybrid course, you are recommended to submit the discussions and assignments by the Monday due date. Canvas quiz/tests/discussion normally expires 2 days later on Wednesday. Once a discussion closes, you won’t be able to post or respond so please set a reminder for those due dates. Check the calendar in Canvas for due dates and reminders. A handy tip is to set a calendar item or alarm on your phone to remind yourself of the Monday due dates. If you cannot complete an assignment on time due to extenuating circumstances, contact me asap.
Consult current schedule for exact dates.
If you discover a clerical error, tell me immediately. The following Statute of Limitations will apply: You have one week from the day any graded assignment or test is returned to you to appeal the grade you received.

Any exceptions to the above statements will be considered individually & only if you approach me about the proposed exception at least a week in advance.
This is an online - distance educational course.

Regular effective contact between the Professor and student is required for success. This class we will have weekly videos, web-casts and frequent emails (several per week), will post threaded discussion on important e-mails. In the past students seem to prefer the email communication over discussion board. The assignment page is very detailed on purpose it specifically address many of the questions raised in the past. When required actual phone calls will be made. and instructor does offer in-person help. In addition to in-person help we have 24/7 access to webcasting software. With webcasting software instructor/student can share screen and provides VOIP (Voice over IP - Internet) interactive connections.
Saddleback college also offers more individualized DE help at Canvas, login, or general Technical Support
The canvas site has two important links for help: student guides, and browser support (I don't recommended working on this class from a smartphone)
