Working in the Lab
• Before you open jGRASP and start
coding:
♦
♦
♦
♦
read the assignment
think about what the assignment is asking for
review lectures and examples on the topic
write (yes, on paper) your plan for completing the
assignment (i.e., your algorithm)
• Talk to me if you’re having trouble at this point
