=== Equipment  and Operating System ===
  * Assignments and lab exams must compile and run on Debian on the Raspberry pi
  * For all practical purposes this means that if they compile on Debian they will be fine
  * We should supply a virtual box image for debian that is set up the same way as the pi image (with all the same stuff installed)
  *

=== Mark Distribution ===
 
  * daily practise 20%
  * lab exams 20%
  * online quizzes 10%
  * final exam 35%
  * assignments 15%

=== Content ===
  * Theoretical content will be covered in lecture
  * language syntax will be primarily covered via the textbook
  * Programming tools content will be covered in lab 
  * All content will be tested via quizzes and the final exam

==== Theoretical Content ====
  *

==== Language and Syntax ====
  * 
==== Programming Tools and Best Practises ===
  * Linux command line
  * man pages
  * git
  * nano and text based editors
  * make
  * gcc
  *

=== Student Workload ===
  * Daily Practise  realistically this will have to be twice-weekly practise because no one is going to remember to download every day
  * Lab Exams  1 per quarter?  week 4,7,10,12?
  * Online quizzes  1 per quarter?  weeks 3,6,9,11?  worth 2,2,3,3% respectively
  * Assignments: 2 large ones.  Due week 7 and week 11 with re-do due dates week 8 and week 12?

====Daily Practice ====
  * homework assignments from the textbook as well as the in-chapter activities
  * must be completely enumerated at beginning of semester

==== Lab Exams ====
* Do we insist that every student have an SD card for a pi and that lab exams are written on a pi?  If not, we have a problem with supervision.. some will have laptops with internet access, some will have only their pi.  
* we could try to use one of the sunray labs for lab exams, but then we are at the mercy of whether or not those labs are running and we have A LOT of lab sections

==== Assignment re-do ====
  * The assignment is marked with an auto-grader immediately after submission.  The autograder tests formatting,  organization of submission, naming conventions, compilation success and whether or not the submission runs.  Results are emailed to student
  * Based on the results of the auto-grader students may re-do the assignment for a maximum grade of 80% or may opt to have the original submission graded.
