Any time you have homework due on a specific date, it is due before class starts. If there is no class that day, it is due before midnight of that day. So when there is no class on that day, you have the entire day to do it. But if there is class, you have to submit before the start of class.
The reason you have to get it done before class starts is because class will often start with a quiz on the homework topic.

After School Help
Help for computer science students is available most Mondays after school from 2:10 to 3:00PM in the computer lab (Room 507). If no students show up by 2:20, I usually go home.

This Coming Week, We Will Have Class in Room 506 Instead of the Lab
The strange start to the school year featured 3 straight lab days for our class. So we ended up doing the "House with Sunrise" lab before we did all the prep work for it. But you still need all the prep work because the material is covered on the AP exam.
So we will have class both Tuesday and Wednesday of the coming week in Room 506. I realize it is a bit backwards but that is OK.
