Prerequisite

Concurrent enrollment in CS 1711 is required.

Recommended Textbook (optional)

A Book on C, fourth edition by Al Kelly and Ira Pohl. Addison-Wesley, 1998 (optional)

Other reference books

1. Programming Abstractions in C: A second Course in Computer Science by Eric S. Roberts, Addison-Wesley, 1998
2. The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie (highly recommended)
3. A Practical Guide to Linux by Sobell

Grading

There will be at least three exams (one of which is the final). Exam dates will be announced one week in advance. There will be unannounced quizzes that can occur during recitation or lecture. Exams will acount for 80% of grade, assignments 15%, and labs/quizzes 5%. The final will be comprehensive. Students are expected to be able to explain the workings of their own programs, and may be called upon to do so. If they cannot, no credit will be given for that assignment.

The lecture (CS 1713) and the recitation (CS 1711) are considered to be two parts of the same course. The lecture and the recitation carry different course numbers as an administrative convenience. You must be enrolled in a recitation section of the course that is associated with the lecture section that you are enrolled in. You will receive the same grade for both the lecture and the recitation.

You are responsible for all material presented in class. Exams and due dates will be scheduled in advance. A grade of zero will be recorded for missed exams unless prior arrangements are made (only allowed in extraordinary circumstances).

Assignments

Officially they will be posted and submitted through the UTSA Learn (f. Blackboard)

!!!! NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED !!!

Students are encouraged to discuss programs in a general way to gain greater insight. Copying another’s code, writing code for someone else, or allowing another to copy your code are cheating, and can result in a grade of zero for all parties. Therefore, take precautions so that your old printouts, unattended screen, etc. are not available to other students. Discussing the details of the solution or showing/examining actual code are not acceptable. If you are in doubt whether an activity is permitted collaboration or cheating, ask the instructor.

Computer Accounts

You will have an account on the CS network as long as you are enrolled in a CS course at UTSA. This account gives you access to Windows and Linux in various CS laboratories. You may also access your account from off-campus via the Internet using secure shell. A free version of secure shell is available at http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~javalab/lab/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.0.exe, if you wish to install it on your home machine.

After installing and running SSH: Click Quick Connect, enter elk03.cs.utsa.edu as the hostname, enter your account id.
From CS system admin: "If a student is registered for a CS course and needs to login to the CSNET domain or Linux LDAP domain the default username is their myUTSAid (abc123) and their password is their banner number without the @ character. Please have them reset their passwords when they login. If they do not change their password their account may be locked when we run our password audit. "

Course expectations for professional conduct

• Preparing thoroughly for each session in accordance with the course calendar and instructor's request.
• Notifying the instructor in advance if missing a class.
• Being set up to begin work (logged in and set-up) for each class period at the time the class starts.
• Staying on task during work sessions.
• Participating fully and constructively in all course activities and discussions.
• Adhering to deadlines and timetables established by the instructor.
• Displaying appropriate courtesy to all involved in the class sessions.
• Providing constructive feedback to the instructor regarding the class.

Note: Turn off and put away all cell phones, iPods, and other electronic devices. You should only have class materials on your desk. You should only have the course web pages, and the classroom query software up on your screen. The instructor and TAs can observe and will record incidents of inattention, which will seriously impact the Homework/Attendance/Participation portion of your grade. Unauthorized electronic devices in use or on the desktop during class are subject to confiscation.
