Welcome: August 24, 2015

Below are a few items to get you started:

• Lectures start the first week of class. Please attend at your scheduled time and location.
• There's no expensive textbook to buy. We will be using an online textbook (PDF, html).
• You will need to purchase a Turing's Craft account (about $25).
• Discussion sections start the first week of class.
• Please bring your ICARD, a writing implement, a laptop (if you have one), and some active neurons. I suggest you start downloading the development tools for your laptop before your section.
• All lectures and sections are required. CS 125 is a conversation. Be prepared to talk, work problems, and ask questions. During lecture, I may select and call out student names from the roster.
