2. Integer vs. real division (End of Sect. 5.6, also Sect. 3.8) (Hand-In)
                                       (Demo Video   VS Project Used in the Video  (How to access demo projects) )
   Feedback: Using float vs. double - does it matter? (No - clarify this next time)
   Feedback: No questions were raised -just add float & everything works.  Also - video asks a question that the .DOC doesn't - Why do float & double yield different answers (4 vs. 8 byte) (?)
   Feedback: Seemed too easy - 'Am I missing something?'
   
3. Modulus operator ( % ) (Section 3.8) (Hand-In)    (Demo Video)

   Feedback: There is no exercise for do...while
   
8. keywords: break / continue (Section 6.7)

    NOTE FOR NEXT TIME: Either put something in about return values before this, so that the diceRoll method make more sense, or else simply have them do die.Next(1,7) inside their loop.  Latter is probably better...
    Feedback: Seeing pre-fab code for the first time took a bit of time to understand ; giving the Random var a name longer than the class name is odd
    Feedback: Screenshots of valid results?
    IDEA: Pre-empt the problem where people create the new Random object inside the loop, and get the same number a zillion times in a row?

11. Using The Distance Formula (Demo Video   Word Document Used in the Video)
    (There is nothing to hand in for this PCE.  Personally, I'd recommend doing a couple of examples by hand in order to make sure that you understand the formula.  You will be using the formula on homework assignment 2, et al.)

Review /  Q + A

   Talk about the mechanics of pseudo-random number generation?
   
2. Random numbers, manually bounded 
   
   
3. Reference Parameters (out, ref) , and normal return values

2. Nested Loops: Square of Numbers (Sect. 5.8)
3. Nested Loops: Triangle of Numbers (Sect. 5.8) (Hand-In)
   Feedback/ Comment: These felt redundant from the prior week - add something to clarify the 'ongoing practice' aspect?
   Feedback/ Comment: These felt redundant from the prior week - make these more different?

The Huge Due Date List

Note: This list is an attempt to collect up in a single spot all the due dates for the term.  These dates may change.  There may be more items added.  It is your responsibility to make sure that you know what's due when, to make sure that you don't miss anything.

In particular, the homework revisions may be moved to a week earlier, if the instructor can return the initial version within 24 hours of the due date.
