<h2>Classes</h2>

<p> Attendance at discussion sections is mandatory.  Usually, a
problem or set of problems will be given out at the beginning of
discussion section and the class will be broken up into small groups
to solve the problems.  The AI leading the discussion section will go
between groups answering questions <em>and asking questions</em> about
the work done so far and about the class material.  Your answers to
these questions, and your progress on the problems given in discussion
section, <em>will</em> count toward your final grade. </p> 

<p> Some lectures may also be conducted in this manner, and some other
lectures will present material not found in the book.  Don't miss
class! </p>

<h2><A name="assign">Assignments</A></h2>

<p> For the most part, assignments will be handed in by email to an
automatic checker with feedback emailed back almost immediately.
Assignments may be prepared on the system of your choice, but should run
properly using Chez Scheme version 5.  Homework will be graded by hand,
but the automatic checker will detect some errors. </p>

<p> An assignment will usually be given each week.  Assignments will
be added to the list below by 5:00P on Friday and due before 5:00P the next
Friday. Late assignments will not be accepted.</p>

<h2><A name="tools">Tools and Advise</A></h2>

Our web has information on <!WA49><A
HREF="http://www.cs.indiana.edu/proglang/scheme/iucs.html">use of
Scheme at IU</A>, including emacs support.
We will be using a few <!WA50><A HREF="http://www.cs.indiana.edu/classes/c311/c311-scheme.html">Scheme extensions</A>
not mentioned in <EM>EOPL</EM>.
<P>  

Points will be deducted on the homework, quiz, and exams if the <!WA51><A
HREF="http://www.cs.indiana.edu/classes/c311/indentation.html">cardinal rules of indentation</A> are violated, so
make it a habit to follow them whenever you write Scheme code.  This will
greatly aid your Scheme programming.<P>

Though emacs is a big help, it is strongly suggested that you write
solutions to all exercises by hand and check them carefully for correctness
before approaching a computer.  This will give you practice at indentation
by hand (which is necessary for exams) and, more importantly, it is in most
cases much easier to find mistakes in this course's exercises by thinking
about them than by debugging.<P>

The assignments don't count a whole lot toward your grade, but extensive
experience has shown that students who do not make a serious effort to do
the assignments independently do poorly on exams.  Experience has also
shown that if most students spent much more time with paper and pencil
before approaching a computer, they would spend much less time debugging
and better understand their programs.  <EM>An hour with a pencil is often
worth several at the keyboard!</EM> <P>
