Teaching Assistants & Lab Schedule:
The Academic Excellence Program (ACE) is supported by the Division of Natural Sciences. Its goal is to increase the diversity of those students receiving bachelor's degrees in engineering, math and science. ACE provides special discussion sections for a number of science and engineering courses, including CS 101. Students must apply for the program and applications are available in office 199 Jack Baskin Engineering Building. If you have any questions about the ACE program, or it's relationship to this course, contact the CS101 section leader: Melesio Munoz (831) 459-5284 (mmunoz@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu), or contact Nancy Cox-Konopelski, Director, Academic Excellence Program (831) 459-5283 (nancyck@cats.ucsc.edu).

Computing Environments at UCSC:
It is a requirement of this course that all students have a computer
account with Communications and Technology Services (CATS)
. CATS provides
instructions
on how to apply for an account online. The machines used for programming
assignments in this course are administered by Instructional
Computing (IC), a department within CATS. The IC Solaris machines
are named teach.ic, learn.ic, hawking, and curie. You should always
log on to one of these machines when connecting to the campus network.
As a general rule, you should not use the older Athena machines (siamese,
rufus, buddy, meow, sasha).
Submitting a Programming Assignment On-Line:
To submit a programming assignment, log on to one of the IC Solaris
machines, then cd to the directory where your program resides. Type
the following at the Unix prompt (%):
% submit cmps101-pt.s02 assignment_name file1 file2 ...In the above example file1, file2, etc are the files to be submitted, and "assignment_name" is the name of the assignment, such as pa1, pa2, etc. Most assignments will require that you submit multiple files. If you decide that you don't like what you submitted and want to submit a better version of the assignment (before the due date of course), just submit again using the same file name. The new submission overwrites the old. To verify that an assignment was accepted by the system, and to check what was actually submitted, use the peek command:
% peek cmps101-pt.s02 assignment_nameYou'll get a listing of all files which have been submitted for that assignment with the option of viewing the contents of each file. If you just want to check and see if you are using the submit and peek commands correctly, submit some dummy file to the assignment name "junk". For example
% submit cmps101-pt.s02 junk dummy_filethen
% peek cmps101-pt.s02 junkFiles submitted in this way will not be graded or even looked at.
