Goal

The goal of this problem set is to ensure that you have familiarized yourself with the syllabus, created your course account, and learned how to submit your work. While this problem set is not graded, it is mandatory. If you do not submit this assignment, your future work will not be graded.

What to do

1. Carefully read the course syllabus and make sure you understand all rules and policies outlined there. Contact the course instructor or teaching assistant if you have any questions.
2. Get a Zoo account, a CPSC 467 course account, and learn how to use the Zoo. See the instructions included in Section 7 of the syllabus.
3. Create and then submit a file that includes your name, date and the following statement:

   I have read and understand the syllabus for this class. I agree to adhere to all of the policies and procedures set forth in the syllabus and to any instructions given out during class or later posted to the web site.

How to submit

Please submit your file in electronic form, preferably as a PDF file. It can be prepared using pdflatex, MS Word, or even scanned from legible handwritten notes. Be sure to include your name, date, and problem set number inside the file. It is also helpful if the file name contains your name in the same form as your course home directory on the Zoo.

You should submit your homework using the submit script on the Zoo. Again, if you don’t have a Zoo account and a CPSC 467 course account, you will need to get them in order to submit your homework. The submit script will take multiple files but not directories, so if you want to submit a directory tree, then archive it first as a .zip or .tar.gz file and submit that file instead. For those of you who have not used the script before, the following Zoo command should do the trick:
