Various electronic documents, as linked from this site's page for each day's class session (see links in class schedule above).

contacting the instructor

I'll be very accessible by email (clint-wrede@uiowa.edu), checking it multiple times each day.

I will also be available to meet with students immediately after each class session, by arrangement. In July, when XML projects are in full swing, I will have even more time to work with students in person on Wednesday afternoons and evenings and Thursday afternoons.
