Course Objective:
Unlike most other courses, this is NOT a lecture and exam-oriented course. This is a practical course, where you will be required to demonstrate actual acquisition of a skill, by writing programs on computers during the lab. The lectures will cover the very fundamental material, but THERE WILL BE MUCH THAT YOU CAN ONLY LEARN BY DOING IT YOURSELF.


Computer Facilities:
You are expected to use the computers provided in the new Esc101 lab located on the upper storey of the Computing Center. During lab hours these will be reserved for your use. During other hours, you will have to share it with other CC users.

Labs:

The lab assignment must be completed during the lab hours, i.e. 2:00 to 5:00, on the specified day for your section. Your attendance during these 3 hours is absolutely essential otherwise you automatically receive zero for that assignment. You are advised to also see the assignment given to other sections and try to solve them as well, in your spare time.
