the solutions.
· (8/30) Advice to Success in CS61A (from Chung-Ming Wu, Spring 2004)
Ask questions. When you encounter something you don't know, ask. That's what we're here for. (Though this is not to say you should raise your hand impulsively; some usage of the brain first is preferred). You're going to see a lot of challenging stuff in this class, and you can always come to us for help.
Go to office hours. Office hours are times when you can find the professors and TAs by themselves, and you'll be able to get some one-on-one instruction to clear up any confusion. Don't worry - you're NOT intruding; the professors LIKE to teach! And the TAs... Well, the TAs are getting paid! We will have office hours information for you shortly. Remember that, if you cannot make the office hours, you can always make separate appointments with us!
Use the newsgroup! There is no better source of information. If you have a problem, someone else probably had it already, and asked it on the newsgroup. Doing a bit of browsing there will save everyone time. The staff will be monitoring the newsgroup regularly, so when you post your questions there, you should get them answered very quickly - often faster than waiting for, say, the next office hour.
Do all the readings. There's a reason why we assigned them. And it's not because we're evil; that's only partially true.
Do all the homeworks. They being graded on effort is not a license to screw around. We don't give many homework problems, but those we do give are challenging, time-consuming, but very rewarding as well. If you can do all the homework problems, you will succeed in this class. If you can't, make sure you can after we pass out the solutions. This is the best place to spend your time.
Do all the labwork. Most of them are simple and take no more than an hour after you're used to using emacs and Scheme. But this is a great time to get acquainted with new material!
Study in groups. Again, this class is not trivial; you might feel overwhelmed going at it alone. Work with someone, either on homework, on lab, or for midterms (as long as you don't violate the cheating policy). Your peers are always the best resources for advice and solutions.
