Week 01 Notes for CS 1500 -- Fall 2001
First Day
- Take roll (check off names on the roster) and individually give
course handouts to those who are registered and present.
- Resolve names on lab, lecture lists. (i.e. Advise students who
are registered for the lecture but not the lab to add the lab,
and vice-versa. If possible, bring add forms to class to get the
ball rolling on this immediately.)
- Get updated wait list. (i.e. ask all present who want to add the
class to put their name, student ID number, and class level on a
sheet of paper. I will try to make a determination of who gets
in to the class and give notice on the next class meeting.)
- Look at
the upcoming schedule
See what's in store next week.
- Announcement(s)
- Week 01 is short: each section meets only one day (Thursday
or Friday )
- First labs are next week on Wednesday and Thursday.
- After we get settled, most labs will be at the end of the week.
- Labs will be held in P-288.
Show P-288 on map
- Introduce text books.
Shiflet's big textbook
is for learning C++.
Andersen's little book
is for learning how to use the Sun Ultra's.
- Pass around and collect sign-up sheets for new accounts.
Everybody who is registered or wants to register should fill one
out and turn it in, unless s/he is sure that s/he already has an
account on the Computer Science Department Sun Ultra's *and* s/he
remembers her/his username and password.
- If time allows, I may go over information in the course
description. (My substitute need not bother with this.)
- Assignment:
- Students need to read and study the Hello World!
assignment to prepare for performing the assignment in lab
next week. I will go over some of the steps early next
week, and the class will perform the lab in the middle of
next week.
- If possible, study the online version of the Hello World lab
directions -- you will be able to follow links to advice for
choosing a password and directions on logging in.
- You can look at pp. 16-17 of your little Unix book by
Andersen to get help on choosing a password.
- You should make up a new password and have it all ready
before we start lab next week.
- Lecture topic for next week: Class must learn to work on Suns
- Lecture topic for next week: Each Sun is equivalent to the
others.
- Activity for next week: Do lab partner assignments. Students may
make swaps if they notify me by e-mail.
