Introduction to Computer Systems
Spring 2022
IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT REGARDING THE TEXT BOOK for Autumn 2021:
We will use the Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (3rd edition), by Randal E. Bryant and David R. O’Hallaron, published by Pearson.
Due to constraints precipitated by the pandemic, the Seminary Co-op Bookstore will be unable to bring in stock of Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective at this time. Below are the following options:
The bookstore can still fulfill individual orders that you will book directly on their website: https://www.semcoop.com/
The bookstore's ebook partner does carry a version of the title, which you can rent and/or purchase here: https://semcoop.redshelf.com/book/814770/computer-systems-814770-9780134092997-randal-e-bryant-david-r-ohallaron

STARTING IN 2022: WE HAVE STRICTER POLICIES:
It is your full responsibility to submit homework and project files according to what the specification says.
It is your responsibility to triple check that you have submitted the right file(s), the right filename, the right content, the right format, and the right version.
We recommend submitting 15 minutes before the deadline (or even earlier) so you have 15 minutes to double/triple check your submission.
We will not accommodate incorrect or late submissions. 11:59:59pm is a hard deadline.
The best way to check your submission is to export your SVN/Github repository to another (shadow) folder and refresh (svn up) that folder to check the latest submission state of your repository. What you see in that shadow folder is what we will see and will grade.
There should not be any confusion about this.
