Time to Allow for CSE courses

In general for the College of Engineering,

1 hour of class time and

2-3 hours of out-of-class time

are planned each week for each credit hour of class.

CSE 1105 Week 1

Time to Allow for CSE 1105

• CSE 1105 carries one hour credit, and has effectively 3 hours of work (lab lecture and lab) per week.

• If not completed each week, work should be done outside of that allotted time, but before 1105 meets the following week (unless specifically stated in the lab write-up).

Lab Notes for Week 1

A Word file containing the Lab Notes for the next week* will be available on the class web site each Tuesday, for viewing, downloading (and therefore for printing). Print a copy to bring to your lab session each week.

* This week you can find the Lab Notes for Week 1 on the class web site. A handout of the Lab Notes for Week 1 will be available in this week’s lab sessions.

CSE 1105 Week 1

Lab 1 - CSE 1105

Getting Started with Accounts & Tools

This lab will be an opportunity to set up your Exchange and omega accounts. It is important that you begin to become familiar with Unix, so this week you will start to become familiar with UTA’s Unix machine omega.

  Task #1 Set Up Your Exchange account

All students registered for this class should have been assigned an account on UTA’s Exchange …..

CSE 1105 Week 1

Slides for Week 1 Lab Lecture

Powerpoint slides for today’s class will be available after class on the class web site, for viewing and for downloading (and therefore for printing if you wish).

CSE 1105 Week 1

Lab Lecture in Week 2

In the lab lecture of Week 2, the lecture will begin the sequence on Web Design. Lecturer will be Ray Springston, CSE faculty member.

Optional text: HTML & XHTML

or other HTML textbook.

Note: no CSE 1104 class in Week 2 but CSE 1105 lab lecture and lab will meet.

CSE 1105 Week 1

Computer Use Proficiency (CUP)CUP, as required by the University, is demonstrated for CSE majors in CSE 1105. So, demonstration of proficiency in

(1) word processing,

(2) spreadsheets,

(3) library skills,

(4) use of the internet and

(5) email

are required for satisfactory completion of the course, but measurement of these skills will not enter into the computation of the final grade.

CSE 1105 Week 1

Computer Use Proficiency (CUP)• During labs in Weeks 1 and 2, the lab

assignment is to demonstrate the ability to do word processing using Word and start to manipulate a spreadsheet using Excel.

• Later in 1105, there is a lab assignment involving finding information on the internet and using the UTA Library on-line resources for research.

CSE 1105 Week 1

Grading

Grades will be letter grades ‘A’ through ‘F.

The course grade is composed of:

Laboratory assignments: 80%

Final exam: 20%

If you miss a lab period, you can try to attend another lab during the same week; email Victor to check.

If you miss the week, you may be able to attend an Open Lab (dates TBD). Not all labs can be made up. 

CSE 1105 Week 1

Academic Honesty• The College of Engineering Statement of

Ethics is found on the 1105 class web site. • It covers ethical behavior in a student role:

CHEATING on quizzes or exams, PLAGIARISM, or COLLUSION will not be tolerated at UT Arlington

[Student Handbook p. 92].

• The ethics statement you are signing for CSE 1104 will suffice for CSE 1105.

• If not in CSE 1104 this semester, then you should read, sign, and return the statement in CSE 1105 (turn in at lab lecture next week).

CSE 1105 Week 1

Contacting the Instructors• Email will be the best way to communicate with

your instructors outside of class. For this communication, use the email addresses: peterson@uta.edu or victor@omega.uta.edu

• There will also be several teaching assistants (TAs) working with this class in various capacities. Email for the TAs will be provided as needed.

• Always begin the subject line with “1105”.• NOTE: Assignments should be submitted to the email

addresses specified for each one. Credit will only be given for work submitted to the correct address.
