Help with CMPSCI 121

  • Last semester CMPSCI 121 students benefitted greatly from the Learning Resources Center on the 10th floor of the main library. Support hours will be listed at http://www.umass.edu/lrc/
  • Form a study group of other students in CMPSCI 121. Get to know other students in the lecture and your discussion section. Be sure, however, to carefully follow the rules of collaboration and no-collaboration and academic honesty.
  • The CMPSCI 121 bulletin board at http://bb-edlab.cs.umass.edu/cs121_S12/index.php. Ask questions and get answers online. The instructor and TAs will monitor the board and answer questions. Of course, you can also see what questions others have asked, and their answers. Students are also encouraged to answer each other's questions (within the bounds of the collaboration policy mentioned above.) To post to the bulletin board you will need to create a login for yourself, as indicated on its home page. In order to see the bulletin board from outside the UMass computer network, you will also have to enter a password before you can even see the bulletin board login screen. For this, use username cs121, password EL121p.
  • TA office hours are listed on the weekly schedule.
