Email the instructor. I grade ALL of the milestone assignments in this course

GENERAL COURSE QUESTIONS
- Can you switch my section or place me in the course even though it's full?
A: No. If I
could, I would. I have no power to do this nor does any
instructor at FSU have the power to change student's schedules. See your advisor about this and keep an eye out during drop add to get into a section that better
fits your schedule
- Can we use previous versions of the textbook or do we need the version you specify in your syllabus?
A: You can use previous versions of the textbook
but be aware that the reading sections that I will assign (which is required reading for the course) will be sections that correspond with the version of
the textbook I mention in the syllabus. If you can ensure you're doing the appropriate readings, a previous version of the book is fine.
HOMEWORKS - COMPILER ERRORS, GENERAL
- Can I work with other students in the course on homeworks? Can I ask other students for help on
homeworks?
A: NO. Homeworks are INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS. If you need
help, visit ANY TA's office hours or the instructor's, or feel free to send any of us an email.
Send us your code and *specific* questions regarding your code. DO NOT SEEK ANY
OUTSIDE HELP.
- Can I use a different compiler other than g++ on linprog?
A: Sure... BUT: be aware that I will be
teaching and doing examples assuming you're using g++ on linprog as this
is the compiler this course will focus on. If you use another compiler besides g++, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for ensuring your code works on linprog before you submit any code.
The TAs will grade the homework on linprog
