The initial meeting for CS1604 "Intro to the Internet" for the Sum I 2000 semester was Monday, May 22nd at 3:30PM in McBryde Hall 655. All students unable to attend the meeting should read through the initial meeting notes. A makeup meeting will NOT be scheduled. (This meeting was not required for non-Blacksburg students. Students taking the course remotely need not attend.) I have not had time to respond to students who sent me email about not being able to attend the initial meeting. If you are in this situation, go ahead and get started with the course and send me any questions for which you cannot locate an answer on the course Web site. CS1604 is a self-study self-paced course. There are no regularly scheduled meetings.
