From the course catalog description for 3101:
Introduction to a programming language. Each section is devoted to a specific language. Intended only for those who are already fluent in at least one programming language.
This is a five-week course and will meet from Wednesday, September 4, 1996 to Monday, October 7, 1996 (10 classes).
Only [IACU} is required. Both are available at Papyrus Bookstore (Broadway at 114th Street). Reserve copies are placed at the Enginneering library as well.
Homework assignments are handed out each Wednesday and are due one week later at the BEGINNING of the class. There are no extensions; however, partial credit will be considered for all incomplete work. Assignments cannot be accepted after answers have been made available. During any lag time between the due date and the posting of answers homeworks will be accepted, but will be marked as late. Late homeworks will be penalized.
If you disagree with a grade, submit your grievance IN WRITING to the grader responsible, documenting the merits of your case.
The final exam will be given on the last day of class, Monday, October 7, 1996. It will be a closed-book exam.
It is critically important that all submitted program listings and executions be thoroughly documented. Further, all documentation must be internal (included in the comments of the C source file). Good programming style will account for a substantial portion of the grade assigned to the programming assignments.
Make sure you provide adequate test cases to indicate the correcteness
and robustness of your approaches. In general, the failure of a grader
to understand your work or to appreciate the thoroughness of its
testing will be considered
For each assignment, you are required to make two homework submissions. The first is a hardcopy (paper) submission to the class folder in the CS department front office. The second is an electronic submission. The submit handout describes how to submit your assignments from an AcIS account. Note that both submissions must occur by the deadline on the due date.
The hardcopy (paper) submissions of your assignments will be used to write comments and make corrections to your programs and will be returned to you. The electronic submissions will be used to test your programs.
A class homepage- http://www.cs.columbia.edu/cs3101-1- has been created for class use. This will be the primary means of electronic announcements including corrections, hints, and extensions. Copies of all handouts, including homework assignments and solutions will be made available through this resource.
AcIS has set up a class account on the cunix machines. From your account you can visit the class directory by changing directory (cd) to ~cs3101-1.
A class newsgroup- columbia.spring.cs3101-sec1 - has been created for class use. You are encouraged to use this resource as a forum for discussion of your projects (see the section on collaboration with other students).
The instructor will be available during office hours and also through e-mail.
