 CS 106A—Programming Methodology.This course is the largest of the
introductory programming courses and is one of the largest courses at
Stanford (taken by approximately 1700 students a year). CS106A teaches
the widely-used Java programming language along with good software
engineering principles.The course is explicitly designed to appeal to
humanists and social scientists as well as hard-core techies. In fact, most CS
106A graduates end up majoring outside of the School of Engineering.The
course requires no previous background in programming, but does require
considerable dedication and hard work. CS106A is offered in Autumn,
Winter, and Spring quarter this year.
Section leaders and course helpers
 CS106A provides extensive assistance for students. Section
Leaders and Course Helpers are available from Sunday
through Thursday evenings each week in Tresidder LaIR to
help with assignments. Check the web site
http://cs198.stanford.edu/ and click on the "Helper
Schedule" link for the latest schedule of LaIR Helper Hours.
Texts
 Karel the Robot Learns Java
 The Art and Science of Java by Eric Roberts.
Programming assignments
 there will be seven assignments (Assignment 1 – Assignment 7).
 ++ An absolutely fantastic submission of the sort that will only
come along a few times during the quarter. To ensure that this
score is given only rarely, any grade of ++ must be approved by
the instructor and TA. Since your section leader would almost
certainly want to show off any assignment worthy of a ++, this
review process should not be too cumbersome.
 + A submission that is "perfect" or exceeds our standard
expectation for the assignment. To receive this grade, a program
often reflects additional work beyond the requirements or gets the
job done in a particularly elegant way.
 √+ A submission that satisfies all the requirements for the
assignment, showing solid funtionality as well as good style. It
reflects a job well done.
 √ A submission that meets the requirements for the

assignment, possibly with a few small problems.
– A submission that has problems serious enough to fall short
of the requirements for the assignment.
– A submission that has extremely serious problems, but
nonetheless shows some effort and understanding.
– – A submission that shows little effort and does not
represent passing work.
From past experience, we expect most grades to be√ + and
√
Late policy
 Because each of you will probably come upon some time
during the quarter where so much work piles up that you
need a little extra time, every student begins the quarter
with two free "late days." "Late days" are class days, not
actual days (i.e. from Monday to Wednesday is one late day).
After the late days are exhausted, programs that come in late
(up to a maximum of three class days) will be assessed a late
penalty of one grade “bucket” per day (e.g., a + turns into a ,
and so forth). Assignments received later than three class days
following the due date will not be graded.
Examinations
 The midterm examination will be a two-hour test administered outside
of class from 7:00-9:00 pm on Tuesday, May 7th. If you have a
conflict with this time, and absolutely cannot make the
regularly scheduled midterm, you must send a request by
electronic mail to Lynn (lcuth@stanford.edu) by 5:00pm on
Monday, April 29th to arrange an alternate exam time.
 The final examination is scheduled for Wednesday, June 12th from
8:30am-11:30am. For a variety of reasons (including university
policy), there will be no alternate time for the final exam.
Please make sure that you can attend the final exam at the
specified time before enrolling in the class.
 All examinations are open-book (class course reader and textbook only),
and you may use any notes, handouts, or materials from the class, but
you cannot use electronic devices of any type (i.e. portable computers,
PDAs, etc).
Grading
 Final grades for the course will be determined using the
following weights:
 45% Programming assignments (weighted toward the later
assignments)
 30% Final examination
 15% Midterm examination
 10% Section participation

感想
 内容真多（又讲语言又讲算法）
 要求真高（针对全校所有专业？！）
 管的真严（严格规定交作业时间，作业占分比例巨

如何学得完？(美国人不用学外语等课)
不适合国情？
严进宽出和宽进严出
一门不过就打上烙印

探索：如何本地化
谢谢！
