= Course logistics = == Note About This Syllabus == This is my first time teaching this course as a summer module. Although the core expectations for this class are fixed, the details of readings and assignments may shift based on how the class goes. As a result, there are three important things to keep in mind: # Although details on this syllabus will change, I will not change readings or assignments less than three days before they are due. If you plan to read more than three days ahead, contact me first. # Closely monitor your email. Because this a wiki, you will be able to track every change by clicking the ''history'' button on this page. I will also summarize these changes in an announcement that will be emailed to everybody in the class. # I will ask the class for voluntary anonymous feedback frequently. Please let me know what is working and what can be improved. == Lectures == This is an online course and I am not requiring any synchronous participation. I am planning to hold an online lecture from approximately 10 am - 11 am every day at meet.jit.si/COM674, where I introduce the concepts for the upcoming reading and assignment. I will record these lectures and will upload them to Brightspace. Following the lecture, I will stick around to answer questions as folks begin working on the coding challenges. I highly encourage those who can attend synchronously to do so. In general, my teaching style is more conversational than a formal lecture. I prefer that students feel they can "politely interrupt" at any time to seek clarification or make a well-informed point, and the lectures will be much better if I can get real-time feedback about what is and isn't making sense. == Office hours and email == * I will hold office hours by appointment. If you come with a programming question, I will expect that you have already tried to solve it yourself in multiple ways and that you have discussed it with a classmate. This policy lets me have time to help more students, but it's also a useful strategy. Often [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging just trying to explain your code] can help you to recognize where you've gone wrong. * I am also available by email. You can reach me at [mailto:jdfoote@purdue.edu jdfoote@purdue.edu]. I try hard to maintain a boundary between work and home and I typically respond only on weekdays during business hours (~9-5) but during the week I will generally respond within 24 hours.
