Warning: This is not for the current semester.
Assignment 0 has 5 parts.
Part 1:
Make sure that you have had your picture taken. If it was not done after the
first class, come to my office.
Part 2:
Subscribe to the newsgroups utsa.cs.3733 and utsa.cs.3733.d.
You should check these newsgroups at least once a week. Read all of the
articles in these newsgroups.
Part 3
If you have not already done so, create a web page for yourself.
The address of your web page should be http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~username.
Create a course web page with web address
http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~username/cs3733/index.html.
This should be globally accessible. Your course web page should be very simple
without much graphics so that it will load quickly over a phone line.
The permissions of the public_html and cs3733 directories should be drwxr-xr-x and the permissions of the index.html file should be -rw-r--r--.
If you are not familiar with creating HTML files, you may want to use the template available in /usr/local/courses/cs3733/fall1999/webtemplate. Put the file index.html in your ~username/public_html/cs3733 directory. Edit this file and replace my name with yours in two places.
Part 4:
When you have completed the other parts of the assignment, send me email
at srobbins@cs.utsa.edu informing me that you have completed all
parts of Assignment 0. The subject line should be
CS 3733 Assignment 0
The body of your mail message should contain a statement indicating that you
have completed the prerequisites for the course and indicate how you
satisfied each prerequisite. For example you can state that you took
CS 2413 at UTSA last fall and took CS 2734 and CS 3233 last spring.
Alternatively, you can attach a copy of an email message from me to you
in which I state that you may take the course without having formally
completed the prerequisites.
If you are not prompted for a subject line
when you send mail, insert an alias in your .cshrc as follows:
alias mail mailx
source your .cshrc and try again.
