Check Yourself

• All labs together will be worth 2.5% of total grade.
• Have you read tutorials page and set up either VM or have CSIL Access?
• Have you read the linux section on the tutorials page?

• Have you read the C section on the tutorials page?

• Don't proceed without knowing how to run this program in a terminal

#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
  printf("Hello World");
}

Labs

WE DO NOT CONTROL SCHEDULING ANY REQUESTS FOR MOVING TO A DIFFERENT LAB HAVE TO GO TO THE ADVISOR OR SCHEDULER

• Labs are designed to take approximately 1 hour minutes and should be completed in the lab section. Some labs will turned in via hardcopy, others online.

• You will be assigned to specific lab sections and listed on the lab page. Please attend the lab zoom session that you are enrolled in; this is the only way to get credit for the lab attendance (and the lab itself if it is a handout).

• When offered online, labs are graded on attendance.

• Watch lab videos before the lab
• Go over lab tasks before the lab

• TAs will only guide, they will NOT work out the solution

• The staff recommends always asking for help on labs when you need it, and to only request a check off when you have thought about the lab sufficiently and can have an informed conversation with your TA.

• Each lab will contain questions you should be able to answer, even though we will not explicit ask them to give you points. If you are unsure of the answer to any of these questions you can ask for help.

What will be covered by the TAs

• TAs will dedicate the majority of the time for lab tasks only.
• TAs will walk through the slides (if any) and handouts.
• Only towards the end of the lab will the TA reveal parts of the solution in the lab.
• TAs will not be going over the pre-req that prior courses have outlined see here

Zoom Sessions

The 201 session will have a hard-stop at 9:25 since the TA is also a graduate student and has to attend another course. If you wish to speak with the TA try to speak before (TA will be in session 15 mins before the lab) or schedule a regular OH. As always TAs will answer questions on piazza as well.

You will need to be authenticated by SFU when joining the zoom sessions. Zoom passwords would have been sent via email.
