Computer Science 1First Day
Course
• Dr. Ryan Garlick• www.cs.unt.edu/~garlick
• Office: • Research Park F201 B
– Inside the Computer Science department office
• Grader TBA– Please address grading
questions to the grader
Research Park Shuttle
Free Parking at Research Park• Park and ride the shuttle
to main campus
Engineering
• Glad you chose an Engineering major
• We need more engineers / fewer lawyers
Labs• Official class lab will be in
Research Park F218– Once per week
• General access lab in B129 1st floor– Open early to late– No specific help in 1030
• Help Lab in F205 2nd floor RP– TAs here to help with
programming– Your Lab TA has hours here
Labs• Sign up sheets for labs available
the second week of class.– Attend one lab per week
• Labs will begin the third week of class.
• Actually attend• Almost 2 separate courses, so
please address lab questions to the lab instructors
• Software detects duplicate labs– Someone tests this every semester
Lab Topics
• Variety of programming exercises
• Web compiler / class programming exercises will help
Exams / Homework
• 2 Midterms and a Final Exam
• Some quizzes in class– Some announced, some not
• Homework assignments• Final is comprehensive
Textbooks• Order online and save some $• If you are buying separately, you don’t need the
Cyber classroom
Drops• Only you can drop a class• You are NOT automatically
dropped for– Non-attendance– Failing a test– etc.
• It is your responsibility to check drop dates
• 7th and later drop from any Texas public school becomes an F.
• Come speak to me if you are having trouble
Course comments• It is easy to fall behind in this
class• Attend lecture and lab – stay
current on the material• No extra credit assignments will
be given• Please don’t anticipate some
huge end of semester curve• If you do not attend class, you
will not do well
Course comments
• Some outside exploration is required
• Google “Java…”• I will go out of my way to
help you if you are trying.• If you don’t study or care,
I don’t either.
Course Material
• 3/4 Programming• 1/4 Intro to computers
• Try to make class more real-world– Pros– Cons
• NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Course Material
• Not always a clear path from point A to point B.
• You will have to find solutions to problems on your own
• Sometimes frustrating• If you enjoy solving
problems you are in the right place
Don’t be This Guy
• What do I have to get on the final to get a D?
• Hey, someone left their program on the lab computer – saves me some time!
• I missed last Tuesday – why don’t you fill me in on what I missed
• I am going to miss Thursday – are we doing anything important?
• Please sign your emails and don’t use txt msg spk, I rly h8 it lol
Cheating
• Cheating is a big problem in this class
• All assignments are individual work – you should write your own programs.
• Copying someone else’s lab or programming homework will result in an F for the semester.
• 2 people last semester
Cheating
• What is OK?• “Hey, I am stuck on
figuring out how to implement xyz”
• Discussing strategies, algorithms, and techniques is always OK.
Cheating• What is NOT OK?• Any time you electronically
copy someone’s program• Typing someone’s program
in from a printout– It does not matter how much
you modify their program
• If you do this, you will receive an F. If you allow someone to copy your work, you get an F also.
Cheating• MOSS (Measure of Software
Similarity) is anti-plagiarism software.
• It is used between all classes and all previous semesters.
• Don’t be the person who tests it this semester.
For Next Time
• Read the Introduction in Small Java
• Download the JDK and Netbeans– java.sun.com– You need Java SE (Standard
Edition) and Netbeans
