(Before we go any further with lecture notes, we need to work out the schedule of material, assignments, etc.)

Homework

Homework assignment notes:

  • HW questions will come out of Sullivan
  • Book provides problems section-by-section

How to actually assign problems?

  • Option 1: Cut-and-paste problems into a single document, to make one single ugly homework document per week (most palatable)
    • If we put together assignments and answer keys ahead of time... This shouldn't be too bad.
  • Option 2: Give them the entire end-of-the-section homework problems, ask them to do certain problems from certain sections
  • Option 3: Give them the damn book
  • Option 4: Assign homeworks out of crappy textbook

Order:

  • Figure out the HW questions first, then align the quiz and exam question pools with the HW problems

Quizzes

Quiz questions are less in-depth, more mechanics and syntax. Quiz questions will come out of the question pool. Working through question pool for first 4 weeks now.

Exams

Exam questions are less rote, focus more on critical thinking, algorithms, program design, and pattern-finding. Exam questions will come from question pool.

(Fewer exam questions than quiz questions per pool, of course.)
