CS 1112: Fall 2020

Class 1 — Wednesday, August 26

Socially distant but united

A new semester — I am eager for its start — I hope they are too

Though our ducks don't quack — They are your mighty totems — Of understanding

A different world — While it's scary, you are strong — Together we are

Very important

Today and every class, start off by looking over the entire class home page!

Know that all classes will be recorded and made available to class members. No one else is allowed to record class meetings unless there is a specific SDAC accommodation.

If you do not want to be known to others, change your Zoom name.

Look both ways

Back or ahead

The back link will show the tasks you were to be concerned with prior to our first class. In the future, it will be a link related to the previous class meeting.

The ahead link is the likely materials for the next class meeting

Hoo we are

Our University is built on the richness of our differences and recognizes that everyone is created equal and entitled to equal rights, dignity, and respect. We must repudiate all that violate these principles through hate and violence.

Course personnel are deeply committed to our university principles, and seek to make our class welcoming and safe to all.

It is an exciting time to be in computing. Class personnel look forward to introducing you to it so that you can help make the world a better place.

Just report it

All UVA faculty and administrator, including myself, are committed to creating a safe and equitable environment on grounds. If you experience or observe an instance of sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, violence, bias or discrimination, hazing, or interference with free speech, just report it! If you see a minor being placed at risk, just report it! It’s easy – just go to justreportit.virginia.edu. If you’re unsure if what you’re seeing or experiencing qualifies as something you should report, or if it doesn’t seem to quite match the descriptions on that web site, just report it anyway. The staff who review these reports will follow up with you to assist or to provide referrals in order to ensure your safety or the safety of others.
