Introductions and Icebreakers ZΩH

Introductions and Icebreakers ● ● Name + Pronouns Intended Major What are you looking forward to in 2019? Why are you taking EECS 183?

Class Logistics ● Find everything but your grades at https: //eecs 183. org/ ● If you have questions, check Piazza first - someone may have already asked ● If not, post a question ● Next step is to go to office hours - check the website ○ There at least 5 hours of office hours every weekday ● DON’T CHEAT! It’s a much bigger deal than you might think, and the smallest infraction can result in major consequences ● My Office hours are Wed 4 p-6 p, and Fri 4 p-5 p

Lab Format ● Review and discuss lecture topics from previous week ● Practice problems and code similar to project concepts and exam questions ● Tips for testing ● Work on lab and ask questions ● Office hours!

Office Hours ● 3: 00 -8: 00 M, W, Th, F; 3: 00 -7: 30 Tu. ● 3 rd Floor of Duderstadt: Follow Brady to Office Hours on EECS 183 website! ● Once you arrive, go to https: //lobster. eecs. umich. edu/queue and sign up for the OH queue ● If we aren’t currently helping you when Office Hours end, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. Office hours are more packed near the due dates of projects, so START PROJECTS EARLY! ● My office hours: Wednesday from 4 pm-7 pm

The Autograder ● The Autograder will execute/test your code, and you will be graded on the accuracy of your algorithm. After submitting your code, you will receive an email with: ○ Your score ○ The test cases you passed ○ Detailed info of the FIRST test case you failed ● Max of 2 submits to the Autograder per day with feedback. All further submits will only state whether your code compiles. ○ Exception: on only ONE day before the project is due, you may submit a 3 rd time with feedback ● For Labs: max of 10 submits to the Autograder per day ● LAST submit (+ style points) = final grade ● You can download the files you submitted

How to do well in EECS 183 ● ● ● USE YOUR RESOURCES! Post frequently on Piazza Start Projects early (as soon as they come out) Go to Office Hours with specific questions Plan before you code! Work with others - talk through the logic out loud ○ ○ There is nothing more helpful than teaching others something you just learned Rubber duckies/stuffed animals help!

Xcode and Visual Studio ● What is an IDE? ○ Integrated Development Environment ● Most staff members are able to work with both XC and VS ● I use Xcode, so don’t hesitate to ask me any questions!

How Coding Works ● You type up source code ● The IDE sends your code through a compiler ● The compiler generates object code (0’s and 1’s) from your source code ● Your computer uses object code to execute commands (like printing “Hello World” in a window)

Algorithms ● An algorithm is a scientific approach to solve a problem ○ Counting people in a room ○ Finding a certain page in a book ○ Picking teams with captains ● Some algorithms are faster and use less memory than others ○ You’ll learn about these in EECS 281
