Assignments Getting Help Start out simple but get more challenging Individual do your own work Post to Piazza. Programs checked automatically with can make anonymous to other students plagiarism detection software, MOSS can post to instructors only Turn in the right thing - correct name, correct do not post more than 2 lines of code on a format or you will lose points / slip days public post Slip days Help Hours 6 for term, max 1 per assignment sign up at web site join Zoom session Graded on correctness and program hygiene Zoom links on sign up page AND Canvas. (style, best practices) CS303e 13 CS303e 14 Succeeding in the Course - Meta Succeeding in the Course Randy Pausch Randy Pausch, CS Professor at CMU said: Ask questions!!! lecture, section, Piazza, lab hours Captain Symons Mistakes are okay. That is how we learn. Trying to be perfect means not taking risks. no risks, no learning 15 CS303e 16
Succeeding in the Course - Concrete Succeeding in the Course Whole course is cumulative! Cannot succeed via memorization. Material builds on itself The things I expect you to do are not rote. failure to understand a concept leads to bigger programming is a skill do the readings you cannot memorize your way through the start on assignments early material and the course get help from the teaching staff when you get stuck on an Learn by doing. assignment attend lecture If you are brand new to programming or participate on the class discussion group have limited experience I strongly ask questions and get help when needed recommend you do lots and lots of DO MORE PRACTICE PROBLEMS -> Book, CodingBat, Professor Bulko's Site practice problems. 17 CS303e 18
