  7. Lecture Format • Review previous material • Questions • Present new material • In-class exercises • work in groups • Lecture notes will be posted online before class • Updated after class

  8. Recitation • Mini-lab • Extra programming practice • Homework help • Answer questions from lecture • Each group should always have a laptop and textbook

  9. Textbook Required Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming (Fourth Edition) Walter Savitch

  10. Software • jGRASP • on public lab machines • All Programs / UNC Courseware / COMP 110 • you can install on your machine • see “Schedule” on web

  11. Computer Labs • 7 Labs • Maintained by UNC ITS • You may do homework there (jGRASP is installed on all UNC lab machines) • http://help.unc.edu/?id=1908

  12. Grades • Assignments 60% • Midterm 15% • Final 20% • Participation 5%

  14. Submitting Assignments • Submitted through e-mail • E-mail to: tpeck@cs.unc.edu • Subject - COMP110 Lab# yourname • Naming code scheme • peck_01.jar

  15. Late Policy • Late assignments are not accepted • 3 late days (including weekends) • Unused late days are each worth 2 extra credit points on the final

  16. Exams • Mid-Term • to take a make-up mid-term, you must notify me in advance or have a doctor's excuse • Final • to take the exam at a different time, you must get permission from your Dean and bring me the blue slip you get from the Dean

  17. Working in the Lab • Before you open jGRASP and start coding: • read the assignment • think about what the assignment is asking for • review lectures and examples on the topic • write (on paper) your plan for completing the assignment (i.e., your algorithm)

  18. Campus File SystemAndrew File System (AFS) • Disk space associated with your Onyen • automatically backed up by UNC • AFS in the lab • automatically appears as drive H: when you log in • On your personal machine • you can install the AFS Client • won’t see drive H: unless you’re connected to the network (i.e., can access the Internet) • More information • http://help.unc.edu/?id=215

  20. Help! • For help on general computer problems, including getting AFS enabled on your laptop or at home • Also, for free software http://help.unc.edu 962-HELP

  21. Collaborating • Don’t cheat! • Never share code • Do Not give assignment solutions until after assignment is handed in • Struggle with the assignment before asking for help

  22. Sending Email • Put COMP110 in subject line • For example: • COMP110, I’m lost • COMP110, This course is too easy

  23. This Week's Recitation • jGRASP • Your first java program • Download jGRASP before lab (see webpage) • Read 1.2-1.3 • Bring • Laptop (fully charged) • Textbook

  24. Monday • What is Computer Science? • Introduction to Programming • Reading Assignment: 1.1 • Homework 0 is due tonight 11:59 pm
