The newsgroups are the main communication interface between the instructor, TAs, and other students. Often, other students may be able to answer your question before the TA or instructor may. Thus, the course will build upon the collaborative effort. Since there may be frequent newsgroup activity, check the newsgroups at least once a day.
Students are responsible for knowing any material posted to the newsgroups by the instructor or TAs.
The newsgroups are a forum for discussion. As such, rude and irrelevant posting is not allowed. Everyone is to do their own work. Programming Assignments Programming assignments will make up the bulk portion of the work in this class. As this is a programming language course, the importance of these assignments cannot be stressed enough.
