CS100M --> Additional Help --> USENET
Background: USENET
provides an excellent forum for discussion in public forums called newsgroups,
using the Internet. A newsgroup gives students the chance to post
questions and try to help eachother. The CS100 staff monitors the newsgroup
and might try to offer answers. Follow these policies when posting messages:
-
Use cornell.class.cs100m for course-related questions.
-
Post messages according to our e-mail policies and CIT's
netnews
guidelines.
-
Follow all rules of academic integrity! Never post fragments
of your programming-assignment code. Instead, you should seek clarification
of the underlying concepts, perhaps by pointing to an example discussed
in class.
-
Save important articles because they will expire in about
one week.
