• 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)

• daily practise 20%
• lab exams 20%
• online quizzes 10%
• final exam 35%
• assignments 15%

• 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

• Linux command line
• man pages
• git
• nano and text based editors
• make
• gcc

• 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?

• homework assignments from the textbook as well as the in-chapter activities
• must be completely enumerated at beginning of semester

* 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

• 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.
