Syllabus

Announcements

• The IBA part of the class web site will be ready early next week, when the final class rosters are in.
• Web access - you should have access to the WebCT site for streaming video already, and the you will just have to either accept the site certificate or waive it each time. I suggest the former. The IBA part won't be ready until the final class rosters are in, early next week. In the meanwhile, use my class page (where you got this): http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~nemo/cen5501/
