CPSC 120: Principles of Computer Science
Spring 2010

Instructor	Stina Bridgeman bridgeman@hws.edu Lansing 312, x3614		Office Hours	T 2:30-4pm, W 3-4:30pm, F 10:30-noon or by appointment (schedule)
Class Hours / Meeting Place	Lecture MW 1:55-2:50pm, Gulick 206A Lab F 11:55-2:50pm, Gulick 208		TA Hours	Sun 7-10pm, Mon-Thu 8-11pm, Lansing 310 Note: The TAs are not likely to be familiar with Processing and so won't be able to help you with every problem you might encounter. They should, however, be able to address questions about approach (where to start, how to break a big problem into smaller pieces, how to debug), general programming concepts (variables, functions, conditionals, loops, arrays), and some specifics of syntax (tell them that Processing is like Java).
