The FINAL assignment is now available

The last assignment, is a simple game, as is traditional in CS 1110. While this years assignment is Space Invaders, it is very similar to the Breakout assignment from years past.

Because of Cornell rules, we cannot officially make an assignment like this due during finals period. And, if you work at the suggested rate, you can finish this by the end of classes. With that said, we will extend the deadline to December 8th for any student that asks.

No Serial Number/Device ID on your iClicker?

The device number, needed to register the clicker, can be recovered by bringing your clicker to (a) the Academic Technology Center Room 123, Computing and Communications Center on the Ag Quad, open 9-5; (b) the ATC's G27 Stimson Hall office near Day Hall, open 12-5; or (c) Walker White's office hours.

Register your iClicker, Even if Used

To register your device, visit http://atcsupport.cit.cornell.edu/pollsrvc . You will login with your netID and password, and you will need the serial number, or device ID, of your clicker. The device id can be found on the back, perhaps near a "bar code". You may wish to put some invisible tape over the number or write it down somewhere, since the numbers can rub off.

Note that each individual student in CS1110 needs their own clicker. We will use the clickers in class for the first time on Thursday, August 24. It is important that you have a clicker and register it by that class.

Optional textbook available online

We are not really using a textbook for this course. However, there is an optional textbook that students like to use a reference. This book, Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist (2nd edition), is licensed under the Creative Commons. That means it is freely available online as either a PDF or an eBook. To get a copy, you should go to the author's webpage.

Because this an optional textbook, we do not ask the campus store to order it. If you would like to have a paper copy, you should buy it online.
