CS 430DL RamCT Home Page    

All other course material, including course announcements, lecture notes, online quizzes, and assignments may be obtained from the course RamCT page, accessible through http://ramct.blackboard.com/ .

RamCT includes a class bulletin board which is ideal for asking questions about the course, assignments, computer help, etc. Other students may respond with appropriate answers before the instructors or GTA even read the question. As long as no homework solutions are posted, although some hints are permissible, this is perfectly okay. Of course, other students need to judge whether or not these responses are correct. If an answer is questionable, an instructor or GTA will eventually post a response.

All Homeworks & Lab Reports must be submitted electronically through the RamCT course page.

It is critically important that students check out the Calendar on the course RamCT page several times a week. All tests and assignment due dates are posted there. Sometimes this may be the only announcement of an assignment. It is the student's responsibility to continually check for new assignments. Assignment due dates are usually posted 10 days to 2 weeks ahead of time.
