Lecture notes
Each student has to scribe notes for one lecture. Here are some instructions:
- Take notes during class, and get (handwritten) notes from instructor after class. Note the lecture number.
- Download cs139.sty, cs139-lecture.tex, and lectureXX.tex. Put them all in the same directory.
- Rename lectureXX.tex by replacing XX with the two-digit number of the lecture (01, 02, ..., 09, 10, 11, ..., etc.).
- Edit the file cs139-lecture.tex and similarly change the reference to 'lectureXX' therein.
- (Main step.) Edit the lectureXX.tex file so as to include your scribe notes. Set the lecture number, title, lecturer, and scribe name in the first line as appropriate. Use macros appearing in cs139.sty as appropriate.
- Produce your pdf by bibtexing cs139-lecture and by pdflatexing cs139-lecture. The output file will be cs139-lecture.pdf.
- When you are done, rename cs139-lecture.pdf to lectureXX.pdf (but replace XX with the lecture number of course).
- Email the following files to the instructor (either Katrina or Thomas): lectureXX.tex, lectureXX.pdf, figure file(s) if necessary.
- The deadline is four calendar days after the lecture.
