Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Narrator] Welcome to Homework 1.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.00,0:00:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The way homework will work in this class is a little different from what you might expect if you took CS101 with me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There will be regular homework questions; these will mostly be multiple choice
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.00,0:00:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or questions where you need to enter a number or a string.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.00,0:00:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They might involve using programming to solve problems,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.00,0:00:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you won't be expected to submit code.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.00,0:00:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You'll be writing programs to be able to answer the questions that are provided in the homework.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.00,0:00:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There will also be open discussion problems, and these will usually involve either
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.00,0:00:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,designing a solution to our problem, designing a protocol perhaps,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.00,0:00:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or analyzing a provided solution.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.00,0:00:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's no graded aspect to these discussions,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.00,0:00:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I think it will be a valuable part of the course for you to think on your own
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.00,0:00:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to solve these problems, and then to join the discussions
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.00,0:00:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the forums to see other how people have solved them, and to see whether your solution is popular
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.00,0:00:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or other people notice problems in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.00,0:00:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The third kind of problem will be challenge problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.00,0:00:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These will be problems that you can submit answers to.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.00,0:00:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They'll be separate from the regular homework, and these are problems
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.00,0:00:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we expect to be quite challenging.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.00,0:01:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They'll probably require a fair bit of time to solve,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.00,0:01:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they'll get more challenging as the course goes on.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.00,0:01:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not necessary to solve these to feel like you're following the course and getting a lot out of the course,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.00,0:01:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you do have time and enjoy challenges, I hope you'll tackle the challenge problems as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.00,0:01:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you are able to solve a challenge problem,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.00,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,please don't spoil the fun for other students in the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Don't post your solution to the problem until after the deadline has passed.
