Advice, Hints and Cautions


Announcements

During the quarter, important announcements will be made in lecture; those of particular importance will also be posted to the Announcements Board; check it often!


Setting Up Java at Home

Some students like to do their Java programming outside of the Help Center. That’s fine, as long as it is in addition to—not instead of—working with your partner in the Help Center; as discussed in the Course Reference and Lab Manual, pair programming is a required part of this course. For guidance on installing Java on a home computer, see the primer Setting Up Java at Home. Note that we do not have the resources to support your home installation; you’re on your own for working out problems or difficulties you encounter (except that, during my office hours, I’ll help you as I can with these issues, provided no one is waiting to discuss course-related matters).


Sample Exam Questions

A set of questions in the form of the midterm and final exams, called Sample Exam Questions, is available to provide you some guidance on what to expect on this term’s midterm and final. Do note, though, that these tests may contain questions on topics that will not be on the exam you take, and there may well be questions on your exams covering topics not on these tests. (We’ll discuss details of the midterm and final in lecture as they draw near.)


Course Grades

At the end of the quarter, course grades will be posted at ICS 45J Course Grades, along with notes about how they were computed at A Note on Course Grade Computation.
