  1. BIT 143: Programming – Data Structures It is assumed that you will also be present for the slideshow for the first day of class. Between that slideshow and this one should be everything you need to understand how this class will be run

  2. 143: Why take this course? • For people who: • Beginning programmers looking to improve. • People looking to get an A.S. & go to UWB • People looking to take higher level BIT courses • PreReq: • BIT 142 or equiv. (I.e., 3 quarters of programming) • Math 141 (or 110) • Both of the above w/ 2.0+, the higher the better • Comfortable using Windows • Comfortable writing small programs • Enjoy figuring out how things work BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  3. Introduction to C# You’ll learn by doing Practice, practice, practice! 10-15 hours outside of class, per week, on average! Solve medium-sized problems Understanding is the key!! 142 & 143:Objective: Learn C# Programming! BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  4. Review: OOP Programming Big “Oh” notation (And Basic Unit Testing) Abstract Data Types: Stacks Queues Linked Lists Binary (Search) Trees Recursion Sorting – QuickSort, MergeSort Dynamic memory (references) 143: Topics BIT 142 and BIT 143

  5. "Flipped" classroom • Watch videos (lectures) BEFORE class • Spend class time actually doing interesting, active learning • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_teaching BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  6. Website: Orientation Page • Clearly indicated on the front page / main page of the course • Read this first • Follow all the directions on this page BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  7. Website: Main Page • Each Lesson looks like the image on the right • Each is a 'table of contents' of stuff that is due • Each of the Lesson 0x links go to the lesson 0x page, which describes everything in more detail BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  8. Website: Lesson Page • Each Lesson is about a week of time • In-Class Exercises: we’ll work through these exercises in-class BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  9. Website: Lesson Page • Slides • are for public consumption, and generally contain announcements relevant to that week’s work • Notes • are for the instructor’s use, and not meant for public consumption • If they help you, that’s great • If not, too bad  BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  10. Website: Lesson Page: Preview Videos • GOAL: To get you up to speed with the details of the topics PRIOR to class, so we can spend in-class time reviewing difficult/troublesome areas • All videos (and quiz) are available on MS SkyDrive • The quiz is also in the Word file at the top of the list • Individual videos are also here BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  11. Website: Post Class Exercises (PCEs) • Done INDIVIDUALLY, although you’re welcome to get help from other people, if you need it. • You are REQUIRED to know all the material, for all the exercises • (i.e., if any of these showed up on an exam, or must be used in a HW assignment, then you need to know it) • You’re only required to HAND IN those items labeled ‘Hand-In’ • It’s highly recommended, but not required, that you do all the exercises – do as many as your schedule allows, and as you need to, in order to learn this material! BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  12. If info isn’t on here, you should ask before it’s anissue. YOU are responsible for knowing the syllabus! Details will be malleable Should plan on full class (no early departure) EXCEPT exams - they’ll occur on the specified dates. Syllabus BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  13. Required Books Get this now!! Best to do the reading before class Check the syllabus for exact reading More work this week, but you’ll get more out of it. Class Meeting time, Office hours, Contact info If you need help, ask!! Better sooner than later!! Bookmark the webpage – you can get lecture notes, in class exercises, homework assignments, and late-breaking announcements there! Syllabus : Book, info BIT 142 and BIT 143

  14. Behavior Rules • Quiet while I’m lecturing • Whisper, if you talk at all • Minimize typing • If you want to type, sit towards the back of the room • If you have trouble hearing me, sit towards the front • Work during ICE time • If you finish a section, try the next one • If you finish everything, chose a project on your own BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  15. Behavior Rules : Online • Read through the “Class Orientation” • This will explain the overall structure • And will explain what’s required for the weekly on-line work • Then start working on Lesson 01’s post-class exercises, if you haven’t already. BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  16. No Cheating! • a 20% penalty on the first offense • a grade of zero for the second offense, and • for a third (and final) offense, all parties will be given the option of either withdrawing (if the drop deadline hasn't been passed) or taking a "0.0" for the term. • Second time includes offences from prior terms • Examples of individual work: • Homework Assignments • Exams BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  17. Save A Copy Of All Work!! • In-class work, EXAMS, Quizzes, etc,etc • If you work with someone, make sure each of you gets a copy • For in-class work, you don’t have to hand it in • (I’ll be checking it as I walk around & watch you work) • If you lose track of it, and I mis-record it, then whatever I’ve got will stand as a grade BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  18. Exam Make-Up Policy • If you notify the instructor at least one week prior to an exam, it may be possible to take the exam at a different time than the scheduled date. • No make-ups will be given for exams, presentations, or other such graded events, that were missed without prior notification to the instructor. BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  19. Questions About Your Grade(s) • Any disagreements about your grade should be brought to my attention immediately. BIT 142: Intermediate Programming

  20. Personal Data Sheet • It’s located on the class website • So I know something about you • If you don’t want to fill in a part, leave it blank BIT 142: Intermediate Programming
