Textbook

For this section, we will be using the Zyante Programming in C++ online interactive text, which contains interactive examples and activities. This textbook is required.

1. Sign up at zyBooks.com using your UTRGV email address
2. Enter the code for this course: UTRGVCSCI2380TomaiSpring2017
3. Click Subscribe

Access to the book and online activities is $67 for the semester, and lasts from the time you sign up until 5/28/2017. Each chapter can be printed (I'd recommend print-to-pdf) to keep. Those who have bought the C++ zyBook for 1370 should get a half-price discount and anyone retaking 2380 and buying it again should get it for free (minus any price difference). You used to have to contact them to get the discounts, but it says they're automatic now.

If you have limited internet access, you must speak directly to the instructor to arrange accommodation.

Notable Policies

Things that are different from the past, or unusual. Take note!

• All course-related email communication has to go through UTRGV email accounts (mine and yours) due to FERPA guidelines. My UTRGV email address is on the contact side bar over there.
• I don't ever, ever, ever check Blackboard email.
• This class has an exam for each module. You can't really afford to miss any of them, so be very aware when the next one is.
