Introductory quiz

Due date

Wednesday, January 25

Introduction

I hate going over the syllabus in class. You'll read it for your zero-eth lab.

Goals

Read the syllabus. Know what you are getting into.
Verify that you can write in your online lab notebook.

Logistics

Complete this assignment by the end of the first week of class. You may discuss the assignment with anyone you wish, but each student should write their own answers.

Preparation

Go to the course web site (http://www.cs.grinnell.edu/~davisjan/csc/364/2012S/). Read about the course mechanics, the schedule, and whatever else seems interesting.

Assignment

1. What do you need to do to prepare for each class meeting?
2. How do you expect to spend your time for this class?
3. What happens if you turn in work late?
4. When can you work with other students and when can you not work with other students (for this class)?
5. What are three important or surprising things you learned from the course web site?
6. Do you have questions about the course that are not answered by the web site?
7. Having read the course web site, what do you hope to get out of this course?
8. Have you taken CSC 211 (Computer Organization), CSC 213 (Operating Systems), both, or neither?

Assessment

Answer all of the questions above for full credit. All students should complete this assignment, including auditors.

Advice

Read the course mechanics carefully. If you have questions, be sure to ask them.

Lab Notebook

Write your answers to the above questions in your online lab notebook.

I have created a foswiki account for each of you. Go to our course web and log in using the information I passed out in class on Monday. (Change your password!)

Have a look at the example lab notebook, then click on your own name and create a page for writing up this lab. Your names don't need to be the same as mine, but make sure I can clearly identify which writeup goes with which lab.
