**** CSC A08 - To Do List ****

You should do the following by the end of the first week:

1. Read the course information sheet and familiarize yourself with the 
   course website:
   http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~campbell/108/05w/

2. You have accounts on fissure - the login is is your UTSC username: 
   usually 04xxxxxx. The id for that account also gets you into
   the PCs in the computer labs. Make sure you know how to log on to 
   those PCs.

3. This course has an electronic bulletin board, which is used to ask
   course-related questions.  The bulletin board will be monitored by the
   instructors and a TA.  Students are also welcome to answer questions.

   Create an account on the bulletin board (use your UTSC username!).  
   Log in and practice posting:

4. The first pre-lab is due on Wednesday, January 12th by 9am.  
   The pre-labs are done using an online tool called CodeLab.  
   Register and pay for CodeLab, then do the first pre-lab!

   For more information about pre-labs, see the course website:

5. If you plan on working on your assignments on your home computer, then
   you will need to install Java and DrJava (they are both free!).  Of 
   course, you can do all of your work in the computer labs (some labs
   are open 24 hours).  

   Installation instructions are available on the course website.
