Treasure Hunt!

This is it! The credit part of this part of the homework (0A) is to answer the questions listed below. You can find all of the information by following links from the CSE 142 course web. Find the answers, and then send them by e-mail to your TA. Send a single message which includes all the original questions, plus your answers (hint: it is not necessary to retype the questions! Make the computer do the work). Your e-mail message should include your full name, student ID #, quiz section ID, and your correct e-mail address (points off if you forget any of these, on this or any other work turned in!)

Do not mail until after you have attended your first quiz section on Thursday. This is because both teacher and student assignments to particular sections will not be final until then. There are only a small number of points for the assignment. The grade is based both on form (following instructions precisely, etc.) and on content (the actual answers).

Deadline: mail must be received after your quiz section on Thursday the 29th, and before 4:00 pm, Friday, March 30th.

  1. On the Version C of the CSE142 final exam for Spring, 2000, what was the answer to question 2?
  2. Which quiz sections, if any, meet in MEB (Mechanical Engineering Building)?
  3. a) As the lecture schedule stands now, on which date will the topic called "arrays" first be covered in lecture this quarter?
    b) In order to be prepared for the lecture on April 27th, which chapter(s) should you have read in advance?
  4. Where do TAs hold their office hours?
  5. True or False: If you have a question, you can ONLY go to see your own professor or your own TA.
  6. a) True or False: "When writing programs in the course, it is OK for a group of people to work together to solve the problem."
    b) True or False: "When writing programs in this course, it is OK to use part of someone else's program, as long as it has been modified by you."
    c) Where in the Web did you find the answers to 6a and 6b?
  7. What is the URL of the Official Homework Submission Policy for CSE 142?
  8. Computers are available for your use in the IPL. What does the abbreviation IPL stand for, and where is it located?
  9. a) What can you see licking Professor Wolfman on his web page?
    b) Why can't Professor Dickey hold office hours on Wednesdays at 1:30 pm?
  10. The answers to this question will be sent to the two main communication media for the class. The first half via e-mail to the class mailing list and the second on the class newsgroup. They'll be sent just before this part of the assignment is due. Be patient, and keep watching the list. We're not saying when the message will appear - don't write to the course staff asking when the message will be sent. When it does appear, it will be very obvious. By the way, if you do miss a message, there is a way to see what it was (that's worth knowing how to do!)

All done with all of these items and part B? There's a hidden clue here somewhere. See if you can find and decipher it! There's no credit to this part, but it'll be a challenge! Help each other out with it.. feel free to discuss it on the newsgroup! But, please mark any messages that give something away by saying that they are "SPOILERS"! Just for continuity, there should be a question to answer.. how about "Why does he keep going into our closet?"
