Handouts

You’d think the syllabus and schedule would provide all the info you need for a course, wouldn’t you? But I’ve found over the years that it can be helpful to provide additional information. To ensure that you read the information, I even give you an assignment. What else is there? Let’s see.

Teaching, grading, and such

On teaching and learning
A bit of philosophy (more or less).
Grading
More details on grading processes (and a bit on the underlying philosophy).
Gradescope
A few notes on the grading platform we’re using.
Tokens
A few notes on obtaining and using tokens.

Other important issues

Accommodations and adjustments
Policies and practices (and why I use two terms)
Accessibility of Web pages
Why I try to keep pages accessible and who to report to when they’re not.
Academic integrity
A long document that attempts to explain key issues of academic integrity in this course and in the discipline.
AI programming assistants
Some notes on why I discourage the use of AI programming assistants in my introductory classes.
Notes on taking notes
Some notes on why you should take notes, along with some note-taking strategies.

Secondary topics

Some thoughts on electronic mail
This page provides some details about how to best use electronic mail when dealing with me.
