COMP 210: Principles of Computing and Programming

Laboratories       Fall 2003

These labs have multiple goals, primary the following:

Labs will be held the first week of class; the first lab familiarizes you with DrScheme, so that you can do the first homework.

There will be weekly lab notes, but no graded assignments beyond the homeworks distributed in lecture. You may be held responsible for knowing any information from the labs, except as otherwise noted. There are four sections. You are welcome to attend any, as long as overcrowding is not an issue.
