CS 3721
Programming Languages  
Spring 2014
Recitation 0.   Practice
Week 0: Before classes

This recitation is not for credit. It is to check that the system is working. First come the deadlines, which will usually be Tuesday and Friday of the week after the recitation. In this case, if you're looking at this on the first day of class, the full-credit due date and time is this very evening (at midnight), and the part-credit date is Friday at midnight.

Submit following directions at: submissions and rules at: rules. Deadlines are:
  • 2014-01-14  23:59:59 (that's Tue, 14 Jan 2014, 11:59:59 pm) for full credit.
  • 2014-01-17  23:59:59 (that's Fri, 17 Jan 2014, 11:59:59 pm) for 75% credit.

Overview: You should email the recitation to a special account of mine that is only for submission of recitations. Of course δοτ below is a "dot" and ατ is an "at-sign".
    <nealδοτwagnerδοτextraατgmailδοτcom>

What to Submit: You should submit any short text file you like (but please short, not in bad taste, and not empty). Try to make it interesting or funny or, um, profound.

I (or the TA) will email back a confirmation, so you will know that the process seems to be working. Remember, that the email address with the word "extra" in it is for submission of all recitations in this CS 3723 course and for nothing else. (Nothing but submissions. Everything else should be sent to my regular gmail account.)

Even if you think you will work with a partner (in a team of two), you should each still separately email your own practice file this first time.

Don't Forget the Subject Header: Your header line for this submission should be: "R0, <your last name>, <your first name>", where you put in your actual last name and first name. Thus a student named Bruce Wayne should use
    R0, Wayne, Bruce
for the subject line.

If Bruce Wayne works together with another student named Bruce Banner, the two students together should submit Recitation 3 with

    R3, Wayne, Bruce; Banner, Bruce
as the subject line. (Students in either order. Only one submission should be made for both students. We also need first names because three pairs of students with the same last names were inconsiderate enough to sign up for the course. One member of each pair should either drop or change their last name.)

Don't be creative, but be uniform, with just a single capital "R" followed by the recitation number, followed by the last name and first name, each item separated by ", " from the next.

Repeat the subject line at the start of the contents. There is no need to bother writing "CS 3723" or "Programming Languages" anywhere in the submission.
