First-Year C Programming Labs

Lecturers - Prof Richard Bowden & Dr Simon Hadfield

To gain practical experience with the C programming language.
To gain some understanding of the principles of good program design and program testing.
To gain some experience of the Unix operating system as used on the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering's computers.

The lab exercises are available on SurreyLearn.

Please note the following:

There will be 4 assessments made by demonstrators during the first 5 weeks of structured lab material. Each assessment will count towards 7% of your total mark. During weeks 6-11 you will undertake 3 programming assignments. Each will carry 24% of the total marks.
100%= 4 x 7% + 3 x 24%
The weeks during which you should work on each lab-topic are indicated between brackets. It is important to observe those deadlines so that you can finish all the exercises by the end of the semester.
Note that you will probably need to spend extra time in the lab outside the normal allocated hours. The 2 hours of scheduled lab hours per week may not be sufficient to finish the exercises.
As soon as you have finished a lab exercise, contact one of the demonstrators to be assessed for that exercise.

There will be three assignments, TBA during the course. Make sure that you attend the lectures for a description of the assignments.
