1. Labs, etc.
15-Jul-19

2. Extra session
Some of you are really new to computer programming, other are not
I have this room reserved 3:00-4:30 on Fridays
This is an extra session for beginners only
If you are already a programmer, and you understand things like variables and arrays, please stay away!
No new material will be presented
Format will be primarily question-and-answer
Attendance is strictly optional
These sessions will continue as long as there seems to be a need for them

3. Labs I have two labs scheduled
1:00-2:00 Fridays, in Moore 207
2:00-3:00 Fridays, in Moore 207
Everyone is expected to attend one of these labs
There are two because Moore 207 is too small to have everyone at once
I will try to arrange it so that everyone gets their choice of which lab to attend
Please check the website, to make sure which session you are signed up for

4. Moore 207 Moore 207 is a Linux lab Many of you have not used Linux
It has a desktop (called Gnome), very similar to the Windows or Macintosh desktop
It’s not hard to figure out
Don’t be afraid!
I’ll step you through a brief introduction to Linux
Java is platform independent: You can easily move back and forth between Linux and Windows or Mac
Bring a floppy disk, if you have one

5. Office hours
My TA (Jack Yang) and I will have office hours posted shortly
If you have questions about the course,
If you are doing pair programming, first ask your partner
Then come and see Jack or me (preferably with your partner)
I am available much of the time outside office hours
Office hours are when I try hard to be in my office

6. Email Feel free to send me email at one of:
If your concerns this course, please put 591 somewhere in the subject line
If you is about the MCIT program generally, please put MCIT somewhere in the subject line

7. Problems
If you are having problems with the course, please come see me
MCIT students: If you have personal problems (sickness, death in the family, breaking up with someone, etc.), please come see me
I can’t help with personal problems, but
I might be able to help you with rearranging courses, getting leaves of absence, etc.—things to help you stay in the program and keep your grades up

8. The End
