    Discussion Section Notes:

    Projects (late policy):

    The projects this semester will be done using a virtual machine. We will supply an image with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed along with the class specific software. You are free to run this VM on either the CSIC machines or your own computer. We recomend using Virtual Box (its free and available for Linux, Windows, and Mac).

    The project virtual machine (412studentVM) is available for downloading. It is suitable for running in VirtualBox (and several other emulators). Contact Dr. Hollingsworth for the password to the user account installed in the VM.
