Today in class

Monday, April 12th, 2010

All we are going to do in class today is hand back and review the second mid term. Feel free to get it later or to pick it up and leave if you did well. I want to make sure those of you who missed questions are ready for when you’ll see them on the final.

Sample Quiz 2

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Here is an old sample second quiz .

The quiz will be on Wednesday 7 April.

On the importance of programming something outside class

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

A worthy post that I commend to your attention: Finding a programmer that can program .
From the post:

But now, having taken care of this, how do you find a programmer that can actually program?

Easy! Find one that has programs he can show you!

I would never hire a programmer that can’t show me code. There must be something wrong with him, because programmers write programs.

That’s just what we do. If we didn’t what kind of programmers would we be?

Get involved in some computer project outside of class. It can be a research project in the department, or something you just want to do.
