HOW TO SPEND 20 HOURS/WEEK ON CPSC 223B 1. Never start early (i.e., more than a week in advance). 2. Never ask a member of the instructional staff for help, either to understand the specification, or to find an approach, or to structure / debug code. 3. Always work in marathon sessions to minimize your efficiency. 4. Never read the specification carefully until you have already written the code (vs. outlining an approach first). 5. Always plan to pull an all-nighter to finish. 6. Never use a debugger (or, if you must, delay learning how to use one until a difficult assignment when the pressure is really on). 7. Always multitask to dilute your attention. 8. Never use valgrind as a debugging aid or even learn how to interpret its messages. 9. Never do the assigned reading. CS-223-01/11/20
