2 Logistics🔗

2.1 Textbook🔗

There is no required or recommended textbook. The course is a synthesis from various sources. I will include references where appropriate. The Resources page contains information on sources.

2.2 Getting Help🔗

You should email the instructor to ask questions. Please do so from your UW email address. In previous offerings, we had a public forum, but it was not used much, even with larger enrollments. Consequently, I have not set one up this term, but I can do so if there is sufficient interest.

2.3 Lectures🔗

Lectures will be entirely online, using the Möbius system. (They have been since this course was first designed, long before COVID-19.) Students can access Möbius through the CS 600 course page on LEARN. Möbius lectures consist of slides with timed transitions and voiceovers. I will post an introductory video on LEARN providing an overview of the course, which you should view before starting the Möbius material.

2.4 Homework🔗

Homework assignments will be available through Möbius. Please read through the Assignments Web page and the Handouts Web page.

2.5 Exams🔗

There are no exams in this course.

2.6 Grading🔗

Grades will be based on the homework assignments. They will be available in the LEARN gradebook.

2.7 Software🔗

There is no software that you need to install on your own computer, unless you are using Windows, in which case you should install a terminal emulator to allow remote login. Instructions are available in section A of the lectures on Möbius.
