Spring 2017

Times & Places

Office Hours/Consulting Hours/Making Appointments

See the staff listing, which includes a live calendar.

Lectures

You are expected to attend lecture twice each week. However, the 9:05 and 11:15 lectures are identical and you are permitted to attend either one of them.

Discussion Sections (Labs)

Discussion sections (Labs) are mandatory. If you miss more than two of them without a good excuse (preferably discussed with your section instructor ahead of time), your course grade may be reduced one level (e.g. B to B- or A- to B+).

For sections held in the ACCEL LAB in Carpenter Hall: The entrance to the ACCEL Lab is through the former Engineering Library. You should enter on the ground floor, then walk straight until you can go no further. The Blue room is in front of you; the Red and Orange rooms are up the stairs on your left (past the Green room, where consulting hours are.) Labs listed as the "Red" room on Student Center are actually split among the "Red" and "Orange" rooms, which are adjacent to each other.

As part of the lab, you will be given an assignment to do on a computer that will be checked off by the section instructor. The goal is to give you every opportunity to become fluent in the use of Python and to get you to learn important concepts within a week of their introduction.

Besides giving you practice on the computer, sections may also be used to:

• Clarify topics covered in lecture.
• Clarify concepts associated with exercises and projects.
• Cover topics only introduced, or even not covered, in lecture.
• Review for the exams.
• Give you a chance to ask questions about an assignment.

If you have your own laptop, you are welcome (and encouraged) to bring that to lab, as it can free up some space in the room.

Exams

This course will have two prelims and a final. The times and places of these exams, as well as the times for the review sessions, are given on this page.
