Format of the course
Lectures
The lectures consist of presentation and discussion of the course material.
Students are encouraged to read the current week's textbook chapter(s) prior
to attending the lecture. See the calendar for details.
PEx's
These are programming exercises which are submitted electronically
(differently from the eChecks in CSE 1020).
Grades are not given for these programming exercises. However, this
course requires and expects a lot of practice in programming,
and this is one way how this practice is accomplished. Furthermore, students
who submit their solution before the deadline will receive
feedback on correctness, design and style. See the calendar for details.
Students are encouraged to adhere to the coding style that is given
here.
Office hours
Students are welcome to come to the instructor's office hours to ask
questions about the lecture material or other aspects of the course.
These office hours take place in room 3046 of the Computer Science
and Engineering Building on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:00-17:00
or by appointment.
Jeopardy
A few times during the term, at the beginning of the lecture,
there will be Jeopardy. When Jeopardy will be held is announced
under news. In the game, students will be asked questions about
the reading material for the lecture.
The Amazing Race
A few times during the term, during the scheduled labs in room 1004 of
the Computer Science and Engineering Building, there will be an amazing
race. When such a race will be held is announced under news. In each
race, students can work in groups of two or alone and are presented with
a number of challenges in the form of (programming) questions. Correctness,
coding style and the number of questions answered are all taken into
account when it comes evaluating the solutions.
