Familiarize
yourself with the course web site:
It is
very important that you go through and examine the main page of the
course web site. The system, which is known as BlackBoard/CourseInfo, is used by many courses
offered at Lehigh and elsewhere. In particular we ask you to do the
following:
a) push
aside or minimize the present window so that you expose the main page and
examine the various buttons on the left menu.
b)
locate the first assignment for the course HW0 ( for home work of unit
zero)
c)
locate and investigate the Assignments button which must be used to submit
the assignments
d ) restore the page of unit zero.
Since
you are reading this page you must have also seen the page OUTLINE. Notice also that you can link back to
OUTLINE from the second button on top of the present page.The OUTLINE is a
very important page of this course.It lists all the units (this is unit
zero) and links to their corresponding pages.These links to units are in
the middle column of the outline.The left column contains the
links to the timeline of the course, which lists the suggested times of
completing the various units as well as some deadlines for exams.The right
column provides links to the assignments.
Install
the software to your computers:You must have received a CD with the
software needed to write, compile and execute the programs we will be
writing.Instructions for its installation were also included ( they can
also be obtained here)
. Here is a link to a complete
list of the software and where it is available if you on campus, off
campus, or a WIRED student. Please go through the installation and check
the software by writing and executing a very simple program as explained in
the step by step procedure
Send
an e-mail:Send
an e-mail to your instructor which identifies you (name, phone, address,
school etc.) and explains which of the above tasks have been successfully
completed.This is also a good opportunity to ask any questions you might
have about the course and its delivery mechanism.
