Workload


Object-Oriented
Programming
Fundamentals
As a rule, college classes require 1 – 3
hours of outside study for each class
credit hour. This means this class will
require 3 – 9 hours of outside work.
Please remember this is only an
estimate and your results will vary.
Because of the nature of software
development, I would recommend you
budget on the high side of this
estimate.

I encourage you to work with other
students regarding course concepts.
However, I expect all work submitted by
you to be your own work.
Failure to comply with this rule will result
in failure of the assignment for all
concerned and withdrawal from the
course with a grade of “Y” (withdraw
failing).
