Winter 1996
The Instructor
The analog version of
Jeff Ondich
can often be found in CMC 327. His office phone number is 663-4364,
and his home number is 663-7123. His office hours for the winter
term of 1995 are: Monday 2A, Tuesday 2:00-3:00, Wednesday 2A, and
Friday 5A. He tries to protect his Thursdays for research and
attending kindergarten, so if you can, try to hit him up for
help on other days. If you need help at some time other than office
hours (even on Thursdays), you are welcome to drop by.
Book
The textbook for this class is
Exploring the Science of Computing, Kenneth Abernathy and J. Thomas
Allen, PWS 1993. We will not go straight through this book, but
we will use most of its chapters by the end of the term.
Your Grade
Your grade in the course will be determined by your performance
on two exams given during the term, a final programming project due
the last day of finals, and homework. Each of these four pieces
will count for 25% of your grade.
Working Together
Working together is good. Sharing ideas helps you learn, and it also
makes learning the most pleasurable social activity I know of. I
encourage you to work on homework together, with a couple of
restrictions. First, I don't want you to write programming
assignments in groups of more than two. Second, if you use someone
else's idea, you should give that person credit in writing.
And finally, you will all write your final projects in groups
of one.
