Information and Resources

I will provide links to the information you need from this page. Check regularly for new notes, assignments and corrections. Example programs, files needed for assignments and other text files will be available on onyx in the directory

Class Mailing List:

There is a mailing list for this class which will be used for disseminating information. ( ) You should subscribe from an email account that you are in the habit of checking regularly. I will assume that you know about anything that I post to this list. You may post general questions about assignments and problems in the book to this list but it is not to be used for sharing solutions to assignments.

Computer Facilities:

Each student will have an account on onyx which runs the Linux operating system. The computer lab is located in ET 213. The combination for the key-pad lock will be given out in class. You should be familiar with the CS Department Computer Usage Policy. For those of you who are new to BSU and/or Linux, Getting Started explains how to access your account.

Programs must be written individually. You may develop your programs on whatever computer is most convenient for you. However, they will be submitted electronically from onyx and tested on onyx. It is your responsibility to make sure that your program runs on onyx. Programs are due at midnight the day they are due. Assignments can be turned in up to one week late subject to a deduction of 10% in the maximum possible score. Instructions for how to submit will be included with each assignment.
