Some reading material will distributed through the course web page. You are responsible for the material in the readings, even if they are not covered during lecture. You are also expected to attend the recitations. New material will be covered during recitation for which you are responsible. For example, discussions about the projects, review for exams and instruction on the use of the UNIX system will take place during the recitation rather than lecture.
Email is good for lots of things, but it is horrible for debugging.
You should use my office hours, the TAs' office hours or the Help Center for debugging help. Use your real name. If you ask a good question by email, I will send your question and the reply to the entire class as well. If you do not want your question repeated to the entire class, please state so clearly in your message. Know how to include a plain text file in an email message without sending it as an attachment.
