Adding This Course

• Fill out the paperwork (attach a transcript) and
  • give it to me after this class, OR
  • take it to Room 210 and ask for it to be put in my mailbox, OR
  • slip it under my office door (ECS 225-L).

  Do this by the end of the day tomorrow. After I give you authorization (I will do so at the start of next Wednesday's class), you will need to register for the class yourself.

• Priority will be given to students on the official hold list.

• Until you know whether or not I will admit you, keep attending class.

Course Prerequisites

• CMSC 104 (or equivalent programming experience)

• MATH 150 (grade of C or better)

Syllabus

• You are required to read the syllabus for this class (it is on the Web)

• Please do so immediately so that you are well-informed regarding course content, policies, and guidelines.

CMSC Gateway Warning

If you started UMBC for the first time in Summer 1998 or later you are under the "CMSC Gateway" and must complete CMSC 201 and CMSC 202 with a grade of B or better. Because of the registrar's rules regarding class sequences, students who receive a C in CMSC 201 must retake CMSC 201 before taking CMSC 202. If you choose not to retake CMSC 201 or do not retake it before taking CMSC 202, you cannot graduate as a computer science major.

Miscellaneous

• Attendance: You are expected to attend all lectures and discussions and to attend the sections in which you are enrolled for both lecture and discussion. You may attend another lecture section in addition to yours if you wish.

• E-mail: I receive hundreds of e-mail during the semester and do my best to respond in a timely manner. But do not expect a response on weekends, holidays, or late in the evening.

• Final Exam:
  • Monday, December 17, 1:00-3:00pm
  • Put this on your calendar now.
  • I have no plans to give any early or makeup final exams, so plan accordingly.
