Assignments

Each week there will be two separate assignments available on this web page, usually by Friday afternoon:

• Homeworks, which you will do individually over the weekend and show to the TA in lab on Monday. These will usually involve some reading and a few short problems to introduce you to a topic and help prepare you to ask questions and work in the lab the following week.
• Lab Assignments, which you will do in pairs and submit electronically at the end of your lab session the following Friday.

The first week's lab assignment is very short so you can complete it at the first lab session on Friday, September 28.

The lab assignments will require you to do pair programming: You and a classmate will work together at one computer, following specific guidelines. This makes the scheduled lab hours on Monday/Wednesday/Friday particularly valuable as a time when everyone in the class (and the TA) is certain to be available.

We encourage you to talk with each other and help each other understand how to do the assignments. There are some limits, though. Everyone should read the guidelines for collaboration and independent work.
