Guidelines

Welcome to CSC513. Below are some guidelines that'll help make this a rewarding experience for everyone.

  • Besides seeing me during the office hours, I encourage students to use the message board for their inquiries. This way other students who have encountered similar problems may also be able to help you. Please refrain from sending me email unless you have really bad things to say about me. In that case, send email only to me.
  • I shall check the message board at least once a day, and try to reply to most inquiries within 24 hours. Please don't expect answers within minutes or even a few hours.
  • Java applications produce fairly informative exceptions. Use those to debug your programs. Googling the errors you come across also helps. Check out tutorials and sample code on the web and download and modify them if you can instead of writing from scratch.
  • Most homeworks will be due on Thursdays before class. Please don't wait until the last minute, meaning the day before, to ask questions. I might not be able to respond in time.
  • I'll post instructions about setting up any software that will be needed for the assignments. I'll also post instructions about how solutions should be delivered. Please refrain from bringing up problems because of specific versions and platforms.
  • There will likely be multiple ways of solving a problem within the scope of its definition. Solve it as you prefer.
  • Other students and faculty have offices in and around 2261. Please be respectful of their privileges.
  • I'll be solving the assigments same as you. My system configuration.
