[CSC 335] Course Preliminaries

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Good evening and welcome back to campus!  I wanted to take just a moment 
to go over a few things related to your upcoming CSC 335 class.

1. We will have our first TOMORROW (Tuesday) at 11:15 am in Godsey 218. 
   I have requested key-card access to this room for each of you, but it 
may take a few days to get that processed.

2.  Currently the systems in the room are booted into linux and are 
working on a parallel calculation; its been running continously for over 
three weeks!  Please do nor reboot the systems.  We will talk tomorrow 
about the use of the systems in that room.

3. I am in the process of re-building all of my online content both on 
my web server and on CANVAS.   I will let you know when that becomes 
available.  Anything that you find online now pertained to prior 
offerings of the class -- and is basically irrelevant.   I will provide 
you with a detailed syllabus in a digital format.

4. We will initially start the semester wearing masks in class.   I hate 
them.   I will most likely remove mine to lecture just so you can hear 
me better.  I may ask you to remove yours when you ask questions.

5.  I have had great success over the last 18 months doing office hours 
via Zoom appointments.   I work in multiple offices and labs around the 
University and city of Macon; Zoom makes meeting from any of these 
locations very convenient.  If you would like to meet via Zoom please 
send a note to that effect to my Mercer e-mail (pounds_aj at mercer.edu) 
and I will work to set something up as soon as possible.

See you in the morning!
