Homework submission details

• Submit the programming part in pairs - one problem per submission.
• Note that some of the assignments cover more than one page when viewed in html format --- assignment 1 consists of six programming problems and one writing assignment.
• Writing assignments are to be done and submitted individually.
• You should submit the first writing assignment electronically. However, if you need more time, you can bring a paper copy to class tomorrow. This applies only to the first assignment, due to the lateness of this announcement.
• If you encounter difficulties with the homework submission, please seek help immediately.

It is not about Java programming, though we will design classes and programs using Java-like languages.
