2. Class URLwww.cs.uky.edu/~nsmatt2

3. Personnel • Nick Mattei • Office Hours – TBA • EE Annex 102 and 202 • Email – nick.mattei@uky.edu • Dr. Debby Keen • Office hours – use them! • MW 10:10am – 12pm, T 1-2, 3-4pm, R 1-4pm • Robotics (CRMS) (Center for Manufacturing) 229 or RGAN Commons • Email – keen@cs.uky.edu

4. Thank you very much!!

5. Laptop Policies • Lecture • Studies show most students with laptops open in front of them are NOT paying attention to the lecture • IF you insist on using a laptop in lecture, you MUST sit in the very BACK row of the classroom, so that you distract only yourself and not other students • Lab • For regular lab sessions you can use your own laptop • For Lab TEST sessions, you MUST use the University machines – laptops are not allowed

6. Textbook and Supplies • Students are responsible for material in chapters that are listed in schedule and covered in lectures • Lecture tests are closed note, closed book • Lab tests are open note, open book

7. For Attendance – on a loose sheet • Write your NAME • Write the DATE • Write your SECTION • AND...

8. GOALS - write them down • What are your goals for this class? That is, what do you want to learn? • How much time do you expect to spend on this class OUTSIDE of lecture and lab time?

9. Goals Activity - continued • SHARE your list with a neighbor and ADD to it if you like • COMPARE your list with the one from the syllabus • Turn in your card at the end of class by laying it on your section number at the front of the room

10. The student will be able to • Design and implement well-written programs in C++ to solve problems, using the principles of structured programming • Use simple data structures: strings and arrays • Implement some sorting and searching algorithms • Use objects of predefined class types: filestreams, strings • Identify and discuss professional responsibilities and ethical concerns of programmers

11. Experience in Programming • This class assumes NO experience in programming • It does assume some experience with computers and Windows • copying files, printing • navigating paths • zipping files together • If you HAVE a lot of programming experience, have you considered the BYPASS exam?

12. Your Grade is Based on: • Quizzes & Lecture Attendance 10% • Lab Assignments 10% • Programming Assignments 25% • Two Exams during the semester     25% • Two Lab Tests 5% each • Final Exam (Comprehensive) 20%

13. Attendance • Required at All Lectures • taken at random by 3x5 cards, cooperative activities, quizzes • Required at All Lab sessions • counts for a portion of lab points • only "UK excuses" accepted • death in family, illness, school trips, religious holidays – H1N1 with clinic slip IS excused! • Give Nick you documentation!

14. Class Locations • Lecture • FPAT 263 (here, Wed) • Lab section • Ralph G. Anderson Bldg, RGAN 103 is the lab classroom • Office Hours • Dr. Keen’s office Robotics (Center for Manufacturing) 229 • RGAN Commons – Dr. Keen • Multilab (Electricial Engineering Annex 202) – TAs • RGAN 102 – some TAs

15. Due Dates/Times • Labs - Demo Dates, Turn in completed work electronically • Labs are NOT accepted more than 10 HOURS late! • Programs – turn in electronically • Programs have a late penalty of 10% for every school day late, up to 5 school days

16. Plagiarism / Cheating • “Getting an unfair academic advantage" • using other people's code as your own • attempt to make code appear to work when it does not • NO assistance from someone else on Lab or Lecture tests • Only talk in GENERAL TERMS about program assignments, not specifics • Do NOT "work together" on a program

17. Cheating, cont'd • Do NOT show your source code to any other student - Protect your source code! • If you talk to anyone outside the class, do not let anyone "inject code" into your program! YOU are the one who is writing it! • Penalties START with a zero on the assignment and a LETTER in your permanent file! UK Policy is followed

18. Cooperative Work On the other hand! • “Talk to your neighbor” or cooperative activities in lectures • Lab assignments – you will have a lab partner and turn in work with them

19. Accommodation • Please tell myself or Dr. Keen about it if you have a letter - as soon as possible! • Letters are not retroactive! • We can arrange both lecture and lab tests to be accommodated

20. Software we will use • Alice • www.alice.org (Carnegie Mellon U) (free) • Visual Studio Team System 2008 • MSDNAA –download it • Engineering students get for free • See Dr. Keen if you can’t get it downloaded

21. What to do next • Read Chapter 1 of textbook • Work on Lab 1 • Make sure your University account is activated • Do the Knowledge Survey and send email, visit Dr. Keen’s office • No Labs this week, Labs DO start on Monday August 31!

22. Today's Exit • Have your NAME, DATE, SECTION, and GOALS on the 3x5 card • Bring your card to the front and lay it on the number of your section • Don't forget to do it or you will lose attendance credit!
