CSE 142: Computer Programming I, Summer 2016

Labs

CSE 190 is an optional 1-credit lab for 142 students who want extra practice on course material. If you sign up for the 190 lab, every Tuesday you will go to a computer lab and work on CSE 142 problems at a computer for 60 minutes. CSE 190 will be a way for students to get extra practice and become more comfortable with 142's material, to help them do better on the homeworks and exams and generally perform well in CSE 142.

There is no "homework" from 190, and it is graded strictly as CR/NC pass/fail. You get credit by showing up and working on the problems. TAs from our course will be there helping everyone and answering questions. It will be a relaxed atmosphere open to asking questions, working together, etc.

The labs take place on Tuesdays at various times. Below is the link to the University time schedule with more info about the times/places. Our sessions are CSE 190 X (SLN 10925) and CSE 190 Y (SLN 10926).

Lab policies:

• To get credit for a lab, you must attend the corresponding lab session. If you show up more than 10 minutes late for a lab, then you will not get credit for that lab. You should read the textbook material listed under the class calendar for the Monday prior to the lab.
• You do not have to complete all of a lab to get credit. The labs are designed to have more material than a student can complete in 50 minutes, so complete as much as you can in that time.
• You must complete 7 labs to get credit for 190. There will be 9 labs total.
• During the lab, you should not be working on anything else (no chats, email, facebook, homework for other classes, etc). You should also not be listening to music while working on the lab. And you should not be working on the CSE142 homework during the lab. If you fail to stay on task, it can result in a loss of credit for that lab day.
• You are welcome to bring your own laptop to use during the lab, but remember that you are not to be working on other things during the lab.
• You can participate in any of the labs even if you aren't registered for the lab as long as a seat is available (this might not be true for the labs that are listed as being full). For example, if you are taking only one class and don't want to pay for the extra unit of credit, you can participate even though you aren't officially registered.
• If you end up withdrawing from CSE142, then you need to also withdraw from CSE190. You can't get credit for CSE190 if you aren't taking CSE142. If you end up failing CSE 142 or if you withdraw in the last few weeks of the quarter, you can still get credit for CSE190 if you complete 7 labs.
