- Change in assignment 1!!! It turns
out that on a PC the width of a window is at least 112. Therefore, we
are changing the specification of method setSizeAndLocToDate(Date d).
It should set the window's width to 112 + (d's year modulo 400) --and
not to (d's year modulo 400).
- 30 Jan. Carpenter lab. Due to
overload of work, CIT has not had time to put DrJava on the computers
in the Carpenter Lab. However, DrJava, ProgramLive, and Codewarrior
are on the computers in the basement of Upson. Bring headphones with
you if you want to use ProgamLive.
- 30 Jan. Newsgroup. Click

- 29 Jan. Making apptmnts with TAs.
Check here for office hours of TAs and the
instructor. You can make an apptmnt for a one-one-one session with any
TA at the undergrad office (Upson 303) or by calling 255-0982 --24 hours
in advance.
- 24 Jan. Please look at handout 4,
which summarizes what we did in lecture each time!
- 20 Jan. Please attend your section
during the first week of the course! It will be used to demonstrate
the use of the programming environments that we will use during the
first part of the course, DrJava.
- 20 Jan. About consulting and TA hours.
Consultants for CS100 live in the Carpenter lab (in the basement of
Carpetner), where you may spend a good deal of time programming. They
are there to answer your questions. If you need help downloading and
stting up DrJava, if you have a misunderstanding on an assignment, if
you are having trouble debugging a program —in all such matters,
ask the consultants for a quick answer. However, they will not
write your program for you.
The TAs have office hours. If you need some conceptual help of any kind, go the the TAs during their office hours. Choose any TA whose office hours are convenient for you, you don't have to limit yourself to your Section TA.
TAs have a closed office hour and an open office hour. If you want time alone with a TA because you just don't understand or are falling behind, then arrange a closed session by calling 255-0982 or going to the undergrad office (Upson 303). If you just have a question, go see a TA; there may be other people there at the same time, and you can all hear each others questions/answers. The closed hours will act like open hours if no one has made an appointment.
Please feel free to see Gries during his office hours --or any time that he is there. If he is not working frantically on someting that has a deadline, he will be happy to chat with you. He also looks at and emails answers often.
