Piazza
Piazza is the primary forum for asking (and answering) questions in this class. We preferred this forum over direct e-mail contact except in cases of emergencies.
Python Tutor
The Python Tutor is a fantastic tool to help you visualize what it is going on when Python executes code. It is very close to the mental model that we develop in class, with only minor differences.
CMS
This course does not use Canvas. Instead, we use CMS – developed by the CS department – to submit assignments and return grades. Any student officially enrolled in the course has been added to CMS.
Python API
Python has a lot of built-in functions and modules. We do not expect you to memorize them. Instead, you should refer to the Python documentation when you need help.
IntroCS API
The module introcs is a Python extension added specifically for this course. We will use most of its features over the course of the semester. Refer to this documentation when you need help.
Style Guide
In CS 1110 you should learn to write programs that are not only correct but also understandable. These guidelines should help you meet that goal. We will enforce these on several of the assignments.
