Re: Reading & Exercises To Do

Dear CSCI-316 Students,

You may recall that my email of 9/12 asked you to do the following before our 7th class (this coming Monday, 9/29):

This assumes you’ve already read secs. 2.1-2.8 on pp. 31-41 and done parts A and B of Assignment 1, which the same email asked you to do before last Wednesday’s class.

Next Steps

After finishing a)-f) above, you can start working on the following items, which you were asked to finish before our 8th class (i.e., our class on Monday, 10/6):

Reminder: Wednesday, Oct. 8 is the on-time submission deadline for Lisp Assignment 1.

Regarding (D), I would like to remind everyone of the remarks about APPEND and SDRAW at the end of my previous email.

Important Note on Assignment 2 Submission

Although Lisp Assignment 1 is to be submitted on Brightspace, Lisp Assignment 2 (which is due on Friday, Oct. 10) will have to be submitted on mars. You will not be able to submit Assignment 2 unless you can login to your xxxxx_yyyy316 mars account, so make sure you don’t forget that account’s password!

Most of you will have another mars account with a different username and (possibly) a different password: It’s important not to confuse that mars account with the xxxxx_yyyy316 mars account used for this course.

Note that I cannot reset forgotten mars account passwords: Xiuyi Huang is the person who can do that—see page 5 of the 1st-day-announcements document for her contact information. In past semesters, a significant proportion of late assignment submissions were due to forgotten passwords that were not reset in time. Please check this week that you still remember your xxxxx_yyyy316 account password, check again next week, and once again a few days before you plan to submit Assignment 2.

See you in class on Monday.
