CS100J uses a Cornell newsgroup for discussions among students and staff about the course —assignments, prelims, questions about course material, etc. Students are expected to look at the CS100J newsgroup at least once during the first week. Every student is responsible for information that is posted there by the CS100J staff, although we will send you really important messages through our course management system, the CMS.
