Session 1 Preparation — Videos, Reading and Quizzes

Quizzes:

Do this Quiz on Session 1 as you watch the videos and do the reading (as listed below). This document is a Microsoft Word document; here is the same Quiz on Session 1 (pdf) as a PDF.

You can either:

• Print it (two-sided is greenest) and fill it in by hand, or
• Download it, fill it in electronically, and then print it (two-sided is greenest).

Videos and Reading (online and textbook):

All of the following are required except the items labeled Optional are, well, optional (i.e., things that may be interesting but do not directly pertain to your success in this course).

• The Flipped Classroom
  • Video (embedded in a web page) [4:42 minutes]
  • Video (as an mp4 that you can download if you want: 10.5 MB)
• What is Software Engineering?
  • Video (embedded in a web page) [3:44 minutes]
  • Video (as an mp4 that you can download if you want: 13.7 MB)
• Course Policies
  • Read the online Syllabus.
• Your First Program
  • From your textbook: Section 1.5 (3 pages) and Section 1.6 (2 pages).
    • You will DO everything from these sections in class during Session 1.
    • We think that many of you will find it helpful to READ about it first (hence this reading).
    • But don't get freaked out if the reading is a bit mysterious to you; again, you will DO (and understand) everything from these sections during your Session 1.
  • Optional: from your textbook: Sections 1.1 to 1.4.
    • These sections present background information that many of you will find interesting.
    • However, there is nothing in these sections required for success in this course.
