Computer Science 111 (C++) Fall 2023

• Syllabus
• College tutoring for the course (free). Mondays 12:15-1:15 in SB-B131 with Yun Wang and Mondays 4:20-5:20 in SB-A223 with Michael Wolf-Sonkin.
• Midterm 2 will be in class on Monday 12-04-23.
• The final exam will be on Monday 12-18-23 from 8:30am to 10.30am.
• The final exam will be on Monday 12-18-23 from 8.30am to 10.30am. Students whose lab is with Ricky Tse, Michael Wolf-Sonkin or Ali Zhao will do the exam in Remsen 101. Everyone else will do the exam in our regular classroom Remsen 100.
• No make up exams will be given. If you miss a midterm, your final exam score will be used in its place. If you miss the final you will get a WU for the course, or only in the case of good, sufficient and unforeseen reasons you might qualify for an incomplete grade for the course. Remember to bring ID to the exams. IDs may be checked in all exams.
