We will cover the Beginner's Guide to Unix and Workstations , various sections of A Student's Guide to Unix, Designing Object-Oriented Software, Eiffel an Introduction and numerous class handouts on materials not covered in the texts. Detailed reading assignments are shown in the weekly schedule. We cannot stress strongly enough that you are expected to have read assigned portions of the texts before class, as some of the material will not be covered in class unless questions arise. You are responsible for everything in the assigned readings whether covered in class or not, as well as lecture material whether covered in the readings or not. You may also have assigned readings to do before a lab session.
Pertinent questions are always welcome.
There are many people on campus who are both able and willing to help you when you have trouble understanding something. Instructors Both your lecture and lab instructors have offices in the same building as the computer labs. They have regularly scheduled office hours , which are times when they are committed to being available to students for any questions or problems that they may have. No matter how busy someone appears to be, their office hours are there for you and you are welcome. Most faculty are also available by prior appointment if you can't come during an office hour.
