Fundamentals of Computer Science

Welcome to the homepage for CS 307, Fundamentals of Computer Science, Summer 2002 version. All of the important administrative information you need for the class is contained via one of the links below.

August 23: Scores from the final, final averages, and final grades are now available of the grade page.

August 12: I don't expect you to grapple with Java output so here is a class to do output to a file for assignment 9. FileOutput.java

August 7: The original WordLoaded class had not been modified to trim the garbage at the end of the words in Words.dat. I have placed a version online now that automatically does the trimming. WordLoader

August 5: I inadvertently deleted the links to the files for Assignment 7 when I put assignment 8 on the web. So the due date for Assignment 7 has been pushed back to Tuesday August 6 by 7:59:59 p.m. If you were already done, no worries. Assignment 8 is still due this Friday.

July 29: Midterm 2 results are available. You all did well again and no need to curve As or Bs. Exams may be picked up tomorrow in section. I am still working on the Midterm 1 regrades.

July 19: Midterm 2 is next Wednesday, July 24, from 7 - 10 p.m. in Taylor 2.106, the regular classroom. Here is an old midterm in word and pdf as well as a key in word and pdf. The midterm will be over topics up to and including the lecture on Monday, July 22. We will still have lecture that day and discussion sections the next day. Don't you just love the compressed summer schedule?

I won't hand out the next assignment until Wednesday. This means we will have one less assignment this term.

July 10: No class this Friday, July 12. Assignment due Monday by 8:00 pm. I did not read the summer calendar closely enough and missed this when putting the schedule together. My apologies. Have a great long weekend. See you Monday.

July 5: Results from midterm 1 are on the web. You will pick up your midterms in section on Tuesday.

July 3: A couple of changes and clarifications to the assignment. The tick method should have a return type of void not int. Also the units for acceleration shall be miles per hour per second instead of miler per hour per hour.

July 1: In case you missed the announcement the test tonight is from 7 - 10 pm in the regular lecture hall, Taylor Hall 2.106. Assignment 4 is now online and is still due Friday. It is a very easy assignment.

June 21: I will be out of town next week on Monday and Wednesday, so my office hours those days are cancelled. You will still be having class though, lead by one of the TAs.

The first test is a week from Monday. Here is an old midterm in word and pdf as well as a key in word and pdf. The midterm will be over topics up to and including the lecture on Friday, June 28. The test will be held in Taylor 2.106, the lecture hall, from 7 - 10 pm. We will still have lecture that day and discussion sections the next day. Don't you just love the compressed summer schedule?

June 19: ConsoleInput is a simple class that can be used to get input from the keyboard. Many thanks to Owen Astrachan from Duke for allowing us to use it.

June 14: I will accept assignment 1 up until 8 pm tomorrow evening. Assignment 2 is now online.

June 12: Office hours and lab hours have been posted above. I placed a copy of the JavaBasics program on the web.
