At every recitation, there will be an in-class quiz on the lecture notes, reading, submitted programs, and laboratory exercises.

Using Blackboard

This course will use the on-line Blackboard system for in-class quizzes and posting grades. Blackboard should be accessible through your CUNY First account (see Hunter ICIT Blackboard page for directions on using the system and how to get help).

Calendar

As the name suggests, in-class quizzes must be taken in-class. If you miss your assigned recitation, you may take a quiz during another section before the deadline, subject to availability and instructor's permission.
