Working Remotely
For those of you interested in working from home or another off-campus computer,
please refer to the appropriate Piazza post for a suggested setup.
Linux Operating System
The Computer Science Department maintains some useful general help information for students new
to using Linux:
CSU Computer Science information is found
here.
A useful Linux command reference card is found
here.
LC-3 Programming
The animation for the LC-3 is found
here.
An overview of LC-3 commands is found
here.
The reference sheet for LC-3 commands is found
here.
A detailed manual, with examples for each instruction, is found
here.
Fritz Sieker's version of the LC-3 tools for Linux and Mac are found
here.
A tutorial on how to convert C code to LC-3 assembly by Fritz Sieker is
here.

Peer Instruction
Peer instruction sessions are held during lectures, generally on Thursdays. The
format will be described in detail at the time of each session, but it generally
consists of each student answering questions individually and in a group. The premise
is that groups perform better than individuals! We organize peer session by assigning
students to groups.
iClicker Registration
Register your iClicker on Canvas. The remote ID is the number found on the back of your iClicker
remote. If you cannot read the ID on your iClicker, there is a kiosk in the bookstore where you
can retrieve it. Here is a list of iClickers that appear not to be registered. If your iClicker
is on this list, please try to register again, then send me email:

Piazza Forums
This term we will be using Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and
efficiently from classmates, teaching assistants, and myself. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff,
I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza. If you have any problems or feedback for the developers, email
team@piazza.com. Piazza will be accessed via the Module tab on Canvas.
