  • Piazza: Where we can discuss anything related to the class
  • Brightspace: Where you can access class screengrab video links and check your grades
  • We will use https://classroom.github.com to manage and submit assignments

  • Assignment 1012 User interface component catalog entry: 100 points (note the change in workflow for this one)
    Use this Google Sheet to coordinate what everyone is working on. The sheet is private and shared only with this class, using the same Google accounts on which the course screengrab videos are shared. You are responsible for making sure that you are aware of and coordinating with classmates who are working on the same page. Operational glitches resulting from a lack of coordination (e.g., conflicting pull requests, duplicated platform-specific instances, etc.) will result in deductions off the overall score.
