Required Text: C by Dissection: 3rd edition, Addison/Wesley
Evaluation:
* Bi-Weekly homework/programming assignments (20%). * two midterms (40%). * Final (40%).
Working Together: The programming assignments are to be done individually, not in groups. You may freely give and receive help with the computer facilities, editors, UNIX, debugging techniques, the meaning and proper use of C constructs, etc. It is also perfectly permissible to discuss general approaches and algorithms with your classmates. However, copying any part of another person's program, or allowing your program to be copied is cheating and will not be tolerated. If you have any questions on this important point, please see me.
Facilities:This quarter you will using the Athena system for your programming assignments. You will use gcc for C programming, and submit fro turning in homework.
Homework: Turn in homework by using the submit procedures. It will not allow late work. Late work will not be accepted or graded. One homework score will automatically be dropped. The program should be in whatever form it is in - grading is done not o nly on having working code. Homework is graded in terms of it be done in a good style, being correct, being concise, being readable, and being efficient. The text emphasizes a correct style.
Exams: Will be closed book and generally objective with an emphasis on how C code works.
Audience: This course is for CS and CE majors and prospective majors. CS is a discipline which emphasizes mathematics and problem solving. There are computer literacy and computer programming courses that are offered for the non-major. If you are shaky in your preparation you should consider waiting until after you take calculus or take CMP001.
