A little of both I presume - it's allowed to be taken by anyone who wishes with instructor permission, but the instructor gives permission to everyone. He misrepresented the class and by the time I realized I was over my head it was to late to drop the class. (also, the class costs almost $3000 so taking an incomplete would be devastating to my finances). I realize that there's no way to complete the assignment in the time he's given me (a week and a half, it's due on the 23rd), but I want to do what I can and try to get a fairly decent grade in the class if possible. |

Ouch! I wondered if it might be something like that. But $3000!
Ok, we'll help as much as we can, but you have some work to do! Get reading those tutorials. Come back with any questions after you've done the reading.

"my professor assigned perl just to see how good we'd do (with only basic instruction on perl)." (from your first post on the topic)
Are you sure he expects people to do well? It seems if he gave only basic instruction on Perl, he gave an interesting set of requirements. . . I'm just guessing he may intend something through this assignment other than seeing you write a professional program. Do you know he's going to give you an actual grade on it?
