Welcome to INTRO / IPIS homepage
This is the unified site for two courses. Make yourself familiar with its structure, since you will visit it often. The links on the left are the site's menu.- Syllabus contains the rules of this course, covering course material, grading policy, and academic integrity. It is very important to read it, especially the last part.
- Announcements hold messages from the course staff which you are expected to read regularly – you can subscribe to it using your favorite RSS reader, such as Google Reader.
- The two Info links provide information for the two courses, such as class times and office hours. These pages are generated dynamically, so check it for updates before going to office hours.
- Class material is the place where you can take lectures and practical sessions notes, when they are published. For the practical sessions, you are usually expected to print the material before class.
- Exams is the place where you take material from the previous years of this course to prepare for the midterms and the exam.
- Useful links contains links to material which was useful to students during the previous times the course was given, such as Java downloads.
- Help forum points to the BGU academic online forum. The course staff will sometimes go there, and participate in the discussions (usually answering assignment-related questions). Thus, all assignment-related questions should be asked in the forum.
- Login links are used to login to the site, which is required for doing online quizzes. IPIS students must use the special IPIS link, and INTRO students should use the regular login link at the bottom of the menu.
- Recent changes is the easiest way to keep up with the updates to this site.
This site is maintained by Michael Orlov, and the Wiki framework on which it (and many other course sites in the department) is built was developed by Yanik Gleyzer.
All email, such as reserve duty issues, illness, etc., should be sent to only. Note that material / assignment questions should be posted in the forum, and will not be answered via email.
