Agenda

Lecture Assignment 1

Due at the start of class, Thursday, January 20.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to jteresco AT siena.edu by the start of class. We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

  1. I would like to get a better feel for everyone's backgrounds coming in. What types of computers have you used? Do you have any programming experience? If so, which programming languages have you used? How complex were the programs you developed?
  2. In an effort to get to know you and to make sure you know how to find me, please stop by my office (Roger Bacon 332) and introduce yourself as a Computer Science 120 student (some time this week).
