ATTENTION (Friday, 28 Aug): As you know, COD was hit with malware last Sunday. We are working around the clock to fix everything. Right now the only thing that is working is Canvas.

Please be patient.

Hello, students! Welcome to this course. I am so excited to work with you this semester and help you achieve your educational goals. I truly look forward to our class and getting to know each of you. If you have a preferred name that is not on the official roster, please send it to me. One of the many reasons I love teaching this particular course is the real world applications we can share.

Please go through all the pages to familiarize yourself with how we'll operate.
