CSCI 241 - Homework 0

Due before class, Monday 08 Sept 2008
or ASAP for late enrollees

Part 1

Read through the course syllabus. We should have gone over most of this in class on Wednesday, but I want you to be sure that you've all seen it. Make a note of any questions about this that you have and submit them with part 2 or bring them up in class or at office hours.

Now that you have read the syllabus, you are responsible for the contents therein. This is where assignments will be posted and readings made. I'm not a big fan of BlackBoard, but I'll try to keep your grades posted there. Let me know ASAP if either service becomes unavailable.

Part 2

For this part, I want you to send me an email to my @oberlin.edu account. Include the following:

1. Send this from your preferred email account. I want to try to get my spam filter set up to not reject these. (I'll still send class emails to the @oberlin email address you have.)
2. Be sure to include cs241 (or csci241) in the subject. This will make it stand out in my email, and should help prevent it from being considered spam.
3. Your full name (especially for non-@oberlin addresses) and what you prefer to be called in class. Give hints as to the pronunciation if needed.
4. Also, include a picture of yourself that I can use to make a photo roster to help me associate faces with names. If you don't have one, I'd be happy to take one of you.
5. Briefly tell me why you are taking this class and what you hope to get out of it.
6. Tell me about any background you have in CS classes, C/C++ programming, or systems programming.
7. Tell me what you are majoring in or thinking of majoring in.
8. Tell me if you are part of a performance group, sports team, etc.
9. Tell me something interesting about yourself that you would like to share with me.
10. Include the requisite statement of the Honor Code: I affirm that I have adhered to the Honor Code in this assignment.

That's it! See you in class on Friday!
