In addition to working during our labs each week, each coach will work additional hours in the Asprey Lab, as indicated in the table below. I will make every effort to give each of you the attention and feedback you need to be successful in this course. But, there is only one of me, and 24 students in our section of this course. I rely on my coaches this semester to help me help answer your questions. text/html 2021-02-18T07:08:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab1?rev=1613632136&do=diff Lab 1 - Spring 2021 Introducing the Command Line, DrRacket, and GitHub The main purpose of this initial laboratory exercise is to acquaint you with * GitHub, * the DrRacket IDE, and * the procedure for submitting your work using GitHub. text/html 2021-05-24T16:15:37+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/week15?rev=1621872937&do=diff Week 14 Wrap-up / CEQs Monday * Last class! =) :-( * Midterm II graded! * Login to Gradescope to see your grades * Stats (remember: grades are out of 75 total points (not 100)! * Minimum: 58 * Median: 70.0 * Maximum: 75 text/html 2021-04-30T16:58:17+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab7?rev=1619801897&do=diff Lab 7 - Spring 2021 Intertwined Data 2: Files and Directories The main purpose of this lab is to practice * using the Design Recipe to write functions for intertwined data * we will use the Files and Directories example of intertwined data from text/html 2021-04-23T05:57:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab6?rev=1619157441&do=diff Lab 6 - Spring 2021 Lab #6: Call the plumber This week in class we learned about trees, and saw two examples of data definitions of trees: a rumor mill and a pipeline. We designed one function in class for a pipeline, which determined whether there was water running. We followed the Design Recipe and the data definition from the lecture notes. We developed a template for a function that consumes a pipeline, and returns a boolean value. text/html 2021-04-15T05:17:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab5?rev=1618463869&do=diff Lab 5 - Spring 2021 Sorting / More Practice with Lists The main purpose of this lab is to have: * More practice with lists: lists of strings and lists of structures (posn's) * More practice with sorting * More practice designing programs with wish lists (helper functions) text/html 2021-04-09T15:59:15+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab4?rev=1617983955&do=diff Lab 4 - Spring 2021 Practice with Lists The main purpose of this lab is to practice * More practice with lists * More practice documenting functions with signature, purpose statement, examples, and check-expects How to get started * Open a browser and copy/paste this text/html 2021-03-05T05:37:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab3?rev=1614922652&do=diff Lab 3 - Spring 2021 Adding a little structure to your life The main purpose of this lab is to practice * defining structures * designing functions that consume / produce structures * following the Design Recipe (as usual) How to get started text/html 2021-02-26T18:12:31+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab2?rev=1614363151&do=diff Lab 2 - Spring 2021 Designing Functions The main purpose of this lab is to practice * using the Design Recipe to write functions * designing functions that use cond expressions * designing functions that use helper functions How to get started text/html 2021-04-28T16:20:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign4?rev=1619626822&do=diff Assignment 4 - Spring 2021 Permutations Assigned: Wed, Apr 21 Due: Wed, May 5 For this assignment you will: * Follow the Design Recipe to design a series of functions that computes all the permutations of a list of numbers * Be sure to write tests for each function as you go, before you move on to the function of your wish list text/html 2021-05-11T04:14:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign5?rev=1620706450&do=diff Assignment 5 - Spring 2021 Simple Tetris Assigned: Tue, May 11 Due: Mon, May 24, 11:59pm For this assignment you will design a world (big-bang) program that implements a simple version of the classic Tetris game, as described in Section 12.6 of text/html 2021-05-15T06:01:47+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/schedule?rev=1621058507&do=diff Spring 2021 Schedule The table below is your guide to the entire semester.

Today's lab will give you practice with abstraction, local definitions, passing functions as arguments to other functions, and generally with the satisfaction that comes from avoiding duplicate code.
