Secondary Labs: In addition to the lectures, there are a number of lab sections, each two hours per week. The purpose of these secondary labs is for the TAs and tutors to provide help with homework and lab assignments, as well as to provide facilities for you to work on lab assignments. Attendance at the secondary labs is entirely optional. If you don't feel you need help, and can access the campus computer network from home, you can do the lab assignments from there, or from any other computer lab on campus. A schedule of lab times will be posted on the class webpage.
Text: An Invitation to Computer Science, Second Edition, by G. Michael Schneider & Judith L. Gersting. Brooks/Cole Publishing 1999. We will cover chapters 1-5 in the first half of the course, then selected topics from chapters 6-10 in the last half.

Evaluation: The course work will be weighted as follows:
Homework will consist of written assignments taken from the
exercises at the end of each chapter. These will be due at the beginning
of class one week from the date assigned. In addition there will
be a number of lab assignments designed to familiarize students
with the UNIX operating system, and to introduce them to programming.
These will be turned in electronically via the "submit” command (not by
email), which will be described later. The first of five Quizzes
will be held in the second week, and every two weeks thereafter.
The Final Exam schedule is as follows.
Academic Integrity
All members of the UCSC academic community have an explicit responsibility
to present as their original work only that which is truly their own. Cheating,
plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty are contrary to the
ideals and purposes of a university and will not be tolerated. Note that
plagiarism includes the deliberate misrepresentation of someone else's
words and ideas as your own, as well as paraphrasing without footnoting
the source. Students and faculty are jointly responsible for assuring that
the integrity of scholarship is valued and preserved.
To view the full text of the new policy on academic dishonesty on the
Web, see:

Due Process
Students charged with academic dishonesty have the right to due process
through established policies and regulations concerning student conduct
and discipline. Copies of these policies and regulations can be found in
the Rule Book (http://www2.ucsc.edu/judicial)
which is available at the offices of each college provost, the dean of
graduate studies, and the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.
