---Section 005 (12:00-13:50, T), Section 006 (12:00-13:50, R), Section 007 (15:00-16:50, T)

Syllabus:
No seperate syllabus for the lab. Please see your lecturer's syllabus for cs111 as a whole. The lab is 25% of the overall grade. There will be 12 in-lab assignments (40 pts each) and 4 projects (130 pts each, in which 50 for documentation and 80 for implementation).

Prerequisites: Confident with C++ programming under UNIX.

Assignment Requirements:

  • In-lab assignments are given at the beginning of each class and due at the end of each class. Source files and other specified related files must be printed out and handed in then. If you cannot attend one lab, please let me know prior to the class. Don't be absent from class without notice, turn in your assignment later and expect to receive 100% grade.
  • I'll leave two or more weeks for you to finish each project. Projects are due at the beginning of class in the specified weeks. A detailed description of what is expected for the projects is provided in the following links:
    Project Preparation Specification
    Required Format for Lab Projects
  • You should keep good manners in writing your code (comments, proper indention, etc., are expected). It's your responsibility to make your program understood. A few points will be taken off if I cannot understand your code even if your program runs no problem.
  • Besides what you submit in paper, you are required to maintain a 'public_html/cs111' directory under your CSEE home directory, where you keep all your assignments and I can view your programs if necessary.

Computer Account
If you don't have one, then you need to go to Room 757 to apply for it.

Tips for the usage of g++ compiler: you only need two commands in this class
1. g++ -c filename //compile to an object file
2. g++ filename1 filename2 ... -o filename //link to an executable file

Print in room 756esb: you need only two commands
 // You may have to execute 'tcsh' first!
1. setenv PRINTER ps756esb
2. pprint filename
