I was absent several days last week due to an illness.  I really appreciate the students working hard and keeping up with the assignments while I was out.  We are down to two months until the AP exam and it is imperative that the students keep working hard.  The finish line is in sight!

This week...
Monday:  Quick review of inheritance through warm ups & review.  We will discuss abstract classes (syntax, implementation and purpose).  If time, we will dig further into polymorphism.
