If you discuss anything with me verbally after class, or in the hall, or whatever, you must send me an e-mail so that I will have a written record of our conversation.

4. This class covers C++ (and C) in depth. – A better name for it would probably be Advanced C++. For better or worse, projects and course material may not be aligned very well. You must have a good C++ reference and be very familiar with it. On exams, you may need to know things that aren’t on the slides. – If you don’t understand the question on exams, ask.
