How to Get an "A" in CISC105

Follow instructions. Read directions before, during, and again after you complete an assignment to be sure you are addressing the problem required, not one of your own making. A beautiful solution to a problem I didn't assign will not help your grade. Also be careful to do all parts of a problem.
Program five nights a week. Once a day, take one of the demonstration programs I wrote in class and code it yourself, compile, run, and test. What does that code demonstrate? Can you think of a better way? Email it to me, or bring it to office hours!
Ask questions, answer questions. Take risks. I will not make fun of you. Participation is five percent of your grade, and most of that is based on your level of participation during lecture.
Do every assignment, prepare for every quiz and exam.
