Collaboration policy:
Collaboration on this lab exercise is strongly ENCOURAGED. The exercise is intended for practice, not assessment -- most people who try should get all participation points. Feel free to ask for help from, and provide help to, others. You shouldn't blindly copy solutions from one another (or from anywhere else) nor simply write code for someone else (even if you explain it as you write), but you can certainly help each other debug, give plenty of suggestions and hints, **explain** why things work or don't work, etc. If you get done early, feel free to walk around and help others.

Part 1:

All non-CS students must obtain a login name and password from the TA to login to the lab machines.

Part 2:

Click the link below and follow the steps to set up your file directories and write your first programs.

Linux/emacs tutorial

Part 3:

Turn in the program from Part 2 using the WWWturnin found in the student section of the CS department's secure server. You can use the link provided on the CS10 class webpage http://www.cs.ucr.edu/cs10/cs10_04spr/cs10_04spr.html to access this website.

Be sure to choose the correct project folder for your lab section. For example, if you are in lab section 20, the folder you should turn in your program to will be called lab1_sec20. If you accidently turn in your project to the wrong folder, just turn it in again to the correct folder. Also, you may turn in a project to a folder as many times as you want. We will only grade the last project turned in.

Make sure you get a message stating a successful turnin with the correct file name. Let the TA know when you have completed this. He will verify your file was turned in properly.

DO NOT LEAVE LAB WITHOUT VERIFYING YOU HAVE TURNED IN A FILE CORRECTLY!!

Part 4:

To read your cs email, login at this website, https://www.cs.ucr.edu/twig. Use the login and password you got from your TA. If you successfully turned in your program from part 3, you should see an email verifying this.

Every 1 to 2 weeks you will get an email to this account with grades for all assignments that have been reported by that mailing.
