Lectures

Two versions of each lecture are provided — one as exactly as presented in the lecture, and the other with a white background more suitable for printing. Some lectures will also have support files, highlighted by the floppy disk icon.

Exercises will be set weekly. Exercises will normally be released on a Monday after the G51PRG lecture, and due in the following Wednesday (i.e. 8 or 9 days, and 3 lab sessions). Late submissions are acceptable until the 12:00 on the Monday after submission at which point a model answer will be released.

Coursework Submission

Coursework submission is in two-parts. The first part requires you to demonstrate your working program to your Preceptor in the lab (either Tuesday or Fridays lab). The second submission is an electronic submission of your source code using the cw submit command on the school’s UNIX machines.

Your file should be named username-g51prg-ex1.c, where username should be your username and ex1 should be modified as appropriate for the exercise being submitted. If your file is not named this, then you can rename it either via Windows (use your H:\ drive) or via the UNIX command line:

mv myfile.c srb-g51prg-ex1.c

Please take special care when typing this as you could either delete your source code, or overwrite another file without warning. Read and reread the command before you press ENTER.

With the file correctly named, you can now submit it using the cw submit command like so:

cw submit srb-g51prg-ex1.c

and follow the prompts that are supplied. You will need to enter the correct CW Submit ID listed in the table above (but check it matches that presented in the menu—if they don’t match use the one provide in the menu).

More details about the cw system can be found here.
