Success in this class is dependent upon you working through the lessons before making an attempt at the assignment. If you try to accomplish this class any other way you will probably not be successful. Programming can be very difficult to understand initially so I've developed this course so you will slowly work your way through my lessons, developing the skill necessary to be successful on the assignment and the next set of lessons. The assignments are all due at Midnight on Saturdays throughout the semester

Compare your answer with my answer and correct your answer after determining where you went wrong. 4. Using the corrected problem statement write/type your human algorithm then compare it to my answer and fix it. 5. Using the corrected human algorithm create a flowchart using visual logic software then compare it to my answer and fix it. 6. Using the corrected flowchart code your answer using html kit run your code and if it doesn't work then compare it to my answer and fix it so it run. 7. Go to the next lesson and repeat this process
