I, Carl Alphonce, being of apparently sound mind and
hopefully sound body, appear to have left my USB key in the CSE115 B
classroom (Norton 218) this morning. If you found a USB key in that
room, I would appreciate it if you could return it to me. It is a
black 2GB key; it has tape wrapped around it (it's been through a
rough few weeks) and contains a file named something like "USB Key
Information" with my contact information on it.

[2007-OCT-2] Campus Alert
In the interests of getting this message out to all of
you, we are (re)posting the following message, which has gone out to the
campus community in other ways too. The take-home lesson:
always be careful!
CAMPUS ALERT FROM:
Gerald W. Schoenle Jr.
Chief of Police
University at Buffalo
Please be advised that a student was the victim of a Strong Arm
Robbery late last night in the parking lot outside of South Lake
Village. The suspect pushed the victim and grabbed her hand bag. A
subsequent investigation by the University Police in conjunction with
the Amherst and Buffalo Police Departments resulted in the arrest of
the suspect.
Members of the University Community are reminded to always be
cognizant of your surroundings and it is best to walk with others
particularly after dark. Please report any suspicious activity to the
University Police at 645-2222.
Gerald W. Schoenle Jr.
Chief of Police,716-645-2227
University @ Buffalo Police
Bissell Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260
[2007-OCT-2] Lab 5
Hi everyone! We decided to make lab 5 a two-week lab. The due dates
in the lab description now reflect the the two-week timeframe.
[2007-SEP-27] Essay assignment
Essay information is posted. Click on "essay" in the site
navigation. Essay topic is due on Friday, October 5.
[2007-SEP-19] Modification/Clarification of In-Class Exam Grade Computation
If you have a valid medical excuse for missing an exam, no make-up
exam will be given. Instead, your exam component grade will be
computed as the average of your remaining exams.
If you have an unexcused absence from an exam, you will receive a
grade of 0 for that exam, and this grade will be included in your exam
grade.
The grading option of counting your final exam score as 50% of your
total course grade will be available as long as you have no more than
one unexcused missing in-class exam. (This is a modification.)
[2007-SEP-13] SoftWare
Installation Fest (SWIF)
Do you think you'll want to do your homework for CSE113, CSE115 or
CSE116 from home or your dormroom? If so, you'll need some software
installed on your machine...UB VPN, XWin32, FileZilla, and Java, not
to mention course-specific software!
Want some help? We're here! We are the CSE mentors, and we are
holding a SoftWare Installation Fest (SWIF) to help make this as
painless as possible. Here are the details:
| Who: | students in 113/115/116 |
| What: | software installation help |
| When: | Monday, September 17 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM |
| Where: | in Baldy 21 (the CSE115/116 lab) |
| Why: | to get you set up to work from home |
| How: | bring your computer (laptop or desktop) to the lab |
We hope to see you on Monday!
PS We will host another SWIF in a few weeks, so if you can't make it on
Monday, you'll have another opportunity soon.
[2007-SEP-13] Lab 1 notice for
students in Thursday recitations
Part of what you needed to complete in lab 1 was an office hours
attendance sheet. This sheet is due at your lab meeting this week,
but because of Rosh Hashanah your lab did not meet this week. Please
turn this in to your lecture instructor as soon as possible (Friday if
you bring it with you, but no later than Monday's class).
[2007-SEP-08] Classlibs.jar and CSE115BookCode updated
We had to update the Classlibs.jar file we are using. This is
something we will do from time to time throughout the semester (pretty
much for each lab). Most of the time this will not affect you in the
least, unless you are working at home (each lab will have instructions
for how to work from home).
This time, however, the change that we needed to make forced a
change to the code in the CSE115BookCode example. What does this mean
for you?
- Classlibs.jar
- If you have been working from home, download the new Classlibs.jar
from the Resources page of the course website, and replace the
one you have in c:/projects/CSE115/Classlibs/Fall2007
- If you have not been working from home, you don't need to
anything.
- CSE115BookCode project
- If you haven't checked the project out from the BookCode
repository yet, then nothing.
- If, on styx, you have checked the project out from the
BookCode repository, then delete the project from your workspace
(delete contents too) and then check it out afresh from the
repository.
- If, on your home machine, you have checked the project out
from the BookCode repository, then delete the project from your
workspace (delete contents too) and then check it out afresh from
the repository. (Make sure you've gotten the new Classlibs.jar
too!)

[2007-SEP-05] Card access to the Baldy
lab
You should all have swipe-card access to the Baldy lab. If you are
having trouble getting in to the lab, first make sure that you have
your card inserted correctly into the card reader. If you are sure
that the card reader is reading your card correctly but is just not
letting you in, let your TA know (give them your name and username) ,
so they can let the technical staff know.
[2007-SEP-04] Photos of the first lab session

[2007-AUG-27] Welcome!
Welcome to the CSE 115 home page!
