+====== Workload ======
+The work load in this course, as in most computer science and engineering courses, is high. As a part of this course you will be required to work independently in the laboratory on at home. This work involves writing and testing Eiffel programs and writing reports. You should be prepared to devote 12 hours a week on average to the course; this includes class time. With proper planning and discipline, you can spread most of the work load fairly evenly throughout the course.
+**It is up to you to read and study relevant material without explicit instructions.** You are expected to find the required readings in the references and any other sources you can find. Part of the university experience is to acquire a measure of self reliance. The instructor for the course can only guide you as to what is useful to learn; the effort must come from you. The course classes will not cover all the topics in detail. Instead, the classes will cover the most important points and give you pointers as to how the rest of the material can be studied.
+===== Classes =====
+**You are encouraged to participate in class.** The time in class is to guide you and you should use it to ask questions, discuss problems and practice critical thinkings and problem solving skills.
+===== Reports / Assignments =====
+You will hand in for grading a set of [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/course_archive/2011-12/W/3311/reports.html|reports]]. Reports may be done in groups of size **1** or **2**; (__no groups larger than 2__).
+===== Tests and Examinations =====
+There will be one in-class test and a formal three hour examination held during the examination period at the end of the term. The grading page describes the grading scheme used and the algorithm for computing your final grade. The class schedule gives the dates and times for the tests and examination.
+The test questions will be based on all the course material: texts, readings, classes, reports, exercises, and on-line notes and slides. Example test questions from previous tests and examinations, and variations on them can be found [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/course_archive/2011-12/W/3311/examples_exercises/index.html|here]].
