The official class meeting times have been changed. Students must appear at the Monday session, during which I will introduce the topics of the week, describe the week's project, and explain techniques. Students must appear for at least 3 lab sessions per week, unless they have finished that week's assignment. I will be present in the Gosnell lab during those times, and will gladly provide guidance to students who appear. You can find the announcements for each assignment for this course in the Manhattan classroom.
Syntax errors are Bad.
Your programs should have comments at the start of each function, explaining the purpose of the function. Each function argument should have a separate comment, describing its meaning, its type, valid ranges, and whether it is an input or output to the function. I have placed some books on reserve in the RIT Library. See notes below. A good choice for just getting started.
