CSC 126 LAB INFO |
ALL Labs are graded on a scale of 0 - 10, with 10 as the highest
grade. Long lab assignments are due 2
weeks after they are assigned. Labs handed
in after the due date will have 5 points taken off. NO long term lab will be accepted after week
three.
Short Lab assignments will be given in class and due the day
they are assigned. If you are absent you
can make up the missed assignment by doing one of the (longer and harder) extra
credit assignments.

Labs will be done
using Visual C++ 2010. It can be
downloaded from MSDNAA via Quick Link from our departmental homepage www.cs.csi.cuny.edu. Procedures are described under the Services link at the right hand side of the page.
This method allows you to download Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition as an ISO
file, burn it to a disk and install it. Visual C++ is also usually available at
the college library, and may be borrowed for a short time and installed on your
home computer. Make sure that you follow
the regulations when using the software.
We recommend that
Students either download VS 2010 EXPRESS from Microsoft:

Students who would like to use MSDNAA for additional software downloads,
must first register with student ID LastnameFirstnameEmplID
EmplID = full EmplID with 8
digits:
