• Course homepage:  http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/Classes/311/
  
  
• Information about the course content, schedule, grading, etc. can be found on the CS311 homepage.  Be sure to read it, since it will tell you what will be expected of you.
  
  
• There will be a short (approximately 15 min.) quiz at the beginning or end of class each Wednesday. This is to help you keep up with the material.  If you are satisfied with your quiz average, you will not have to take the final exam.
  
  
• As will be explained in class, you should do as many of the problems in the book as you are able; this is the only way to hone your skills.  Note that the answers to the odd-numbered exercises are in the back of the book, so you can check your work.  You can also hand in exercises that you would like us to check.  Also, most of the quiz and exam questions will be taken from the book exercises or be similar to them.
  
  
• I will give you a short diagnostic quiz to test your familiarity with the material from Mat 300 and your readiness to take CS 311.  If you do not do well on it, you should discuss with me the advisability of your taking CS 311 at this time.
