ECE 218 Autumn 2023 Introductory Bits

book old is fine, not strictly necessary at all, but you might want it
neat, layout, structure, consistency, INDENTATION, senesible names
cite everything external, but nothing may be external (images?)
do it yourself, do it the class way, it is all carefully planned.
clicker
in person, attendance required, remote doesn't count except with proper reason
reach by email or in person, not blackboard, not phone. State name and class

all assignments and stuff on rabbit
submit and receive grades on blackboard

new: enforced deadlines, each day another point from 10
- exceptions only for exceptional circumstances, nobody forces last minute starts
start last minute asking for trouble
two mid terms plus final, regular classroom, official time
incomplete almost never. really good reason out of your control
All under Unix, must be on rabbit
- changes to rabbit, pico, new compiler may have to recompile old programs
no phone use or web browsing in class
strictly individual effort
cheating, collusion, from the web/a book, faked test runs, all zero no resubmissions
but study groups are good. draw a line, know when to split up.
every assignment involves programming, must submit in word docx:
- name and assignment at top
- Exact path for where it is on rabbit
  - continue to work on it? work on a copy
- then anything unusual that the grader should know
- then, if it is a resubmission after feedback:
  - remind me what that feedback was,
  - tell me exactly where your changes are.
- then your program,
  - neatly and readably presented,
  - no unreasonable gaps
  - plain text, not image
- useful and complete test runs, not just my examples
  - cat and paste (not a typo)
usual pronouns and things, harassment, offense, honour code, disabilities, religious
- see syllabus for details.
