Introduction to Computer Science, IDC Herzliya

If you feel like you're behind, or even if you don't, follow these guidelines. They will lead you to success.

1. Go over Shimon's slideshows. Read everything and make sure you understand everything.

2. Go over my recitation slideshows. Again, make sure you understand everything. Write the code examples in your own files, compile and run. Make sure you understand every codeline. Modify the code and see what happens.

3. Go over the text book for the relevant material. Shimon posts the relevant chapters. Read even what's not in the material, if you're aspiring to be more than just a programmer.

4. Write your own programs, just for fun! This is, by far, the best way to learn new programming languages.

5. If all this was not enough, go over this step-by-step tutorial by Sun. It's not constructed like the course, but all the chapters are there.

6. Come to the lab on Thursdays. There are tutors there that are there just to help you.

And last, both Shimon and I have office hours (well I don't have an office, but Arcaffe can do as well:). Use us.

Shabbat Shalom
