You must complete prep1
before beginning these exercises.
For all required exercises, to receive credit you need to obtain
a green check in CS Academy. There is no partial credit
on individual exercises.
Exercises are color-coded:
Exercises in green text
are required, but will be solved in lecture or recitation.
Exercises in yellow text are also required, but will NOT be solved in lecture or recitation.
Exercises in red text are not
required, and will not appear on writing sessions. These
may or may not be solved in lecture or recitation.
Regarding green exercises:
To use your time most effectively, you are strongly advised not to attempt
these exercises before we solve them together.
Even though we solved them together, you still have to get the green check for these problems.
When we solve them together, please be sure not to simply become
a human copy machine. There is no point in that. Stay focused and follow
the discussion. It is far better to understand how to solve the problems,
even if you don't quite complete them yourself in lecture. You'll find
it is far easier to finish them later, and to reproduce them in a writing
session, if you really, truly understand them.
Note that we may not have time to attempt some of the green exercises
in some weeks. In that case, after Thursday's lectures we would
convert the unattempted green exercises from green to red so they would not
be required on the hw and would not appear on the writing session.
This is another good reason not to attempt the green exercises
before we cover them in lecture.
