New accounts on GCP receive a $300 credit. You should be able to complete this class without going over that cost. I will have you launch a virtual machine instance on GCP from which you can complete class assignments. You will be able to remotely connect to your instance using Chrome Remote Desktop, which works just like a browser tab.<\/p>\n<p>You should also bring a laptop to class to connect to GCP.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24pt\"><strong>Late Assignment Policy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>All assignments and projects are to be submitted on time or early, so plan accordingly. If you have to miss class please submit your assignment early. On rare occasions, an exception may be granted, allowing the student to submit the work late with a 20% penalty.
