STUDENT_NAME - Place your name in this line.
This repository is your Student Workbook for participating in the in-class demos and for completing practice homework; the coding work is to be placed in the src/ folder. Learning Outcomes (LOGs) and other useful notes can be found in the docs folder, such as links to the Reading Materials for the course. Also, you are encouraged to use the docs/mynotes folder to record your notes from each class.
⚠️ Do NOT use this repository for any assignments that are worth marks. For work worth marks in this course, only use repositories set up/approved by your instructor.⚠️
The course's Brightspace site contains official information. An ad-hoc site for tutorials, references, etc. has been set up by your instructor for this final Jan 2025 offering of this course: dgilleland.github.io/CPSC-1520/.
At the end of the term, your repositories on the CPSC-1520 GitHub Organization will be removed. You will still have access to your local versions of these repositories for your personal use and review.
⚠️ Do NOT re-publish your assignment/assessment repositories - doing so with any materials worth marks is an act of academic dishonesty⚠️
