Each 159 student is registered in one weekly lab session
in room 102 in building 315:
F24N02 Mondays 3-5 (starting Sept. 9th)
F24N01 Wednesdays 3-5 (starting Sept. 11th)
Both lab sections are quite full this term,
so students must attend their registered lab section unless they have obtained explicit
permission from the instructor in advance.
Labs will be used for a set of lab exercises, lab quizzes, and discussions/working sessions.
In the lab sessions students will receive hands-on practice with the tools
and techniques discussed in lectures, as well as guidance on the practical
use of the linux operating system, the g++ compiler, make (for automated compilation),
gdb (for debugging), git (for version control), ssh (for remote connections),
and other tools/topics as they become necessary.
There are seven equally-weighted labs (labs 1-6 plus a bonus lab) of which your best six
will be counted towards your final grade.
