Course Objectives:
The CSC 101 Lab aims to complement the CSC 101 lecture materials and provide
students hands-on experience related to the lectures.
Evaluation:
Lab reports and lab files are due 5:00 pm
the Friday of the same week of the lab (turn it in to the
Computer Science Department's administrative assistant, Rita Johnson
in Kirby 115 or 117A). Each day late will result in
a 10% reduction in points. No points will be given to late reports or
lab files that are turned in on or after the date of the next lab.
The grade of each
lab will be available on Blackboard under the course name F2003_CSC101L.
Be sure to check your lab grade on Blackboard every week to
make sure it is accurate. Contact your TAs as soon as possible
if it is inaccurate. If you do not receive a lab grade for a lab, that
means the TAs probably have not received your lab report and files.
If you have turned in the lab report and lab files but do not get a
lab grade for that lab, please contact the TAs as soon as possible.
About the Labs:
You may not be able to finish the lab within the lab period. It's perfectly
fine. Finish the lab any time after class and make sure to turn in the
lab reports and the lab files, if there are any, by 5:00pm Friday.
Lab Reports and
Manuals: The lab manual file for each lab is posted on this
page below in the table of Tentative Lab Schedule. Download
the file and print out the file before the lab. Bring the printout
to the lab. The instruction file has lab related questions
you need to complete. Turn in the printout as the lab report. Some
labs may also require turning in files, by uploading them to a server.
Instructions for upload files will be in the lab manual. The grade
of each lab is based on your answers to the lab questions, and the
completion of the lab files, if any.
Pre-Lab: Some
labs require pre-lab readings or exercises. They are intended to help
you get prepared for the lab by learning more about the subject and
thus help you work more effectively on the lab. So, please complete
the pre-lab assignment. |
