CSCI 201 -- Introduction to Algorithm Design

The instructor for CSC 201, Section 2, is Dean Brock.
The course will meet on Monday evenings from 6:00 pm to
8:30 pm, with a brief break around 7:00 pm.

The textbook for the course is "Programming by Design"
by Philip Miller and Lee Miller.  We will cover the

You should plan on reading assigned chapters before
the class lectures in which they are presented.

Grades will be placed on a combination of graded
homework and, including about five programming assignments,
and exams.  In the weighing of graded material for the
assignment of final grades, homework will count one-half,
the midterm one-sixth, and the final exam one-third.

Students will be given accounts on ACVAX, a Vax 750 running
the VMS operating systems, to work on programs.  Unless
explicitly instructed otherwise, you are to work on your
programs by yourself from initial design to final debugging.

My office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from
1:00 to 2:30.  However, I do frequently read electronic
mail and sending a message to my computer account ("BROCK")
is generally the best way to get a prompt response during
those late, late hours you'll be working.
