  • Week 6 - This lab period is dedicated to implementation of the classes you have designed.
  • Week 7 - This lab period is available to complete and test the program.
• The lab reports should be submitted electronically following the Electronic submission guidelines. (You may wish to consult the sample report before submitting your report.) Be sure to keep copies of all your files, in case something gets lost. It may be wise to keep a diskette backup as well.
