Part 1: Solo Reading and Checkpoints

This part only concerns reading and checkpoints, and not code tracing or exercises (those are assigned below). Read all the notes and carefully complete all the checkpoints in Unit 1. This is due by Wed 17-Jan at 8pm (a special Wed due date because this is week1).

Part 2: Collaborative CS Academy Exercises

This part is collaborative, as explained in the syllabus. Collaboration is not required but is encouraged. Be sure to properly cite your collaborators!

For guided exercises, watching the guided video is required -- it will show you how to solve the exercise elegantly, will save you lots of time, and will best prepare you for later exercises. Thus, first read the writeup and then carefully watch the guided video. Then and only then should you solve the guided exercise.

• 1.2.8 Code Tracing Exercises (all)
• 1.3.9 Code Tracing Exercises (all)

  • isDuplicatedNumber (2)

Part 4: Collaborative Friday Collab (in person)

See collab1 for details.

Part 5: Solo Writing Session

The writing session for this hw will occur in lecture on the Tuesday after the hw deadline. Unlike quiz questions which apply and extend concepts, writing sessions more closely check just that you completed and understood the assigned exercises in the hw.

Part 6: Solo Bonus (Optional)

You may optionally complete these exercises (working solo!) for some modest bonus points:

• 1.4.11 Section Exercises
  • areaWithinThreeLines (2 in CS Academy, worth 1.5 bonus points on hw1)
• 1.4.12 Honors Exercises
  • playThreeDiceYahtzee (4 in CS Academy, worth 3.5 bonus points on hw1)
