Help
Sessions: Sun, Mon, Tues, and Wed from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and Thurs from 6:00 to 8:00

[9/18/09]
It has been brought to my attention that last night's
help session never happened because the TA didn't show. I apologize to the students that went to the
help session needing help with their assignments. In light of this, the deadline for the first assignment
will be postponed to Monday at 9:30 pm (rather than tonight at 9:30 pm). That means you have two more help sessions
available to you (Sunday and Monday night) before you have to submit your
programs. If you've already submitted
your programs, note that you can keep re-submitting up until the deadline if
you wish.
[9/14/09] The help session on
Tuesday, 9/15/09, will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 rather than the normal 7-9
hours. There will also be a help session
this week on Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm.
[9/11/09] Changes have been
made to the grading of Programming assignment 1. Part C is now extra credit only.
[9/11/09] Assignment
submission folders have been created at \\cherry\courses\COM110\students. (See the last bullet at the bottom of
assignment 1 for submission instructions.)
Make sure your folder is there and that you can copy files into it!
[9/9/09] For anyone who
still doesnt have a textbook, the Zelle text can be read online here.
[9/9/09] Programming
assignment 1 has been posted. Start
brainstorming ideas for Part A. After
class today you should have all the tools/skills you need to complete Part A so
I recommend you start on it right away!
Ive also posted a copy of the grading form that will be used.
[9/8/09] I will be placing
another copy of the text on reserve in the library this afternoon (by around
1:30 pm).
[9/7/09] It seems the campus
store has sold out of our textbook. You
can buy it online, of course, but for now, Ive scanned and uploaded the pages
of the text that you should be reading/coding before
Wed. Links can be found in the
after-class work column of the course schedule. I am also leaving a copy of the text with the
TAs at the help sessions tonight and tomorrow at Strider House (7 pm 9 pm).
[9/7/09] Instructions for
accessing your Z: drives from your own machines is now posted here.
[9/7/09] Slides from lecture
1 are here. And Ive also typed up a couple of interesting
tidbits I never got around to mentioning during
lecture today.
[9/4/09] The Wed evening lab that was scheduled from
5-7 pm this week will be moved to 6-8 pm.
This move will probably be permanent, but stay tuned for more updates.
[9/2/09] Lab is cancelled on
Thursday, Sept 3. Our first meeting will
be in lecture on Monday, Sept 7.
