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):
- a) Read secs. 2.9-2.14 on pp. 41-64.
- b) Do part C of Lisp Assignment 1.
- c) Read secs 3.7-3.10 on pp. 86-90.
- d) Do part D of Lisp Assignment 1.
- e) Read sec. 2.17 on pp. 72-73.
- f) Read secs. 6.3 and 6.4 on pp. 161-65.
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):
- (A) Do part E of Lisp Assignment 1.
- (B) Read sec. 3.17 on p. 104.
- (C) Read sec. 5.3 on pp. 138-40 (pp. 138-39 in the free older edition).
- (D) Do part F of Lisp Assignment 1.
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.
