Grades (5/February/2003)

The midterm exam date: 12/December/2002, Thursday. It is an open book exam. You should bring your text books and other related materials to the exam. Book and notes sharing in the exam will not be allowed (18/November/2002).

You will take a short quiz (30 minutes) on Thursday, 21, in the class. Before the first midterm exam, you will be studying the exam topics by taking such short quizzes . The similar questions will be asked in the midterm exam (18/November/2002).

Starting from this week, the lectures will be on Thursdays in class (E302) and the lab sessions will be on Mondays. Please come to class on Thursday, 31st of October. You will take your second quiz on Monday, 4th of November (31/Oct/2002).

You can get the passwords of the zip files containing the homework solutions from the assistant, Kerziban Mumcu. She is your solution point especially for your practical issues (18/Oct/2002).

In your first assignments, your programs did not follow the recommended C style and coding techniques. I tried to give you some important ones in the lab session. But there are also many other important principles for writing good C programs. Actually, you will use many of these principles in your other programming languages, like Java, that you will learn later. This is very important to develop good programming skills.

I put two good reference guides below at the References section. These are in the PDF file format, so you need the Acrobat Reader program to read these files.

Please start reading these two files and use these principles in your programs. If your programs are not written following the C style and coding techniques, generally they will not be graded or your grade will be affected very much! (10/October/2002)

Look at your first homework assignment which is given below. It is due on this Thursday (7/October/2002).

Please come to the computer lab with your textbooks at 1:00. You will write, compile and execute the programs you have seen in class in the Borland C++ Builder 5.0 environment (3/October/2002).
