Is it true that there is a lot of work in this course?

Yes, there is quite alot :)

So probably you will postpone some of the homeworks, right?

Wrong. No homework will be postponed during the semester. This is a matter of principle, so there is really nothing to do about it.

Where can we work ?

you can work on the PC Farms (rooms 018,021), HP Farm (room 016) and Sun Farm (room 014). You should first make sure you have your stud1 account open. It should be opened for you automatically, if it isn't, contact of the TA in charge. You can get your PC password from the advisors. Your initial username and password to stud1 is the same as in T2. From any computer you work on, make sure to connect to the stud1 computer (telnet stud1). Note that you cannot connect to stud1 from outside the Technion's network. If you are working from home, and your internet provider is not the Technion, you need to first telnet to t2, and from there to stud1.

Where can I find the printout of my work ?

All the printouts with the grader remarks can be found in exercises return room (near the "mazkirut").

Can I appeal on the automatic checker's results?

No, you cannot. The automatic checker, and the examples it checks, are written in a way which assures that if you followed our instructions, you will have no reason to appeal. Pay attention to our examples, how EXACTLY to run them, and make sure you test your program with them before you submit it. Beware from common pitfalls such as first testing your program, and only then document it - many times people are sure their code is working, and then when they put remarks they make errors like not closing ./* .. this will cause all tests to crash, and you lose many points.

(Windows object files) i know that it's recommended to work on unix during this course, but as i understood, we DON'T HAVE TO. When you don't supply us with object files for windows, you limit the ones that have decided to work on windows! It's much more difficult/impossible to test our code. A recomendation is no longer a recomendation, if you don't let us choose!

You understood wrong; you DO have to work on Unix in Matam. This is part of the material we want you to learn. This is why, for example, you get 30% of your grade on Unix based environment (CShell). Against our will, you might choose to work on Windows, because you *think* it's easier for you. We cannot order you what to do in your private computer - this is why it's called "recommendation".
