  The announcement above makes available the example Three that I was discussing in class. The files and folders that make up the VB2005 program are in a single "zipped" file. You need to download it and then "unzip" it.

  If Windows does not have a default Zip application on your computer you can download the free software 7-Zip. Double click the downloaded file to install the software on your computer.
  After you have downloaded/saved any .7z file from this web site, start the 7-zip File Manager from the Start/Programs, navigate to the .7z file you just saved and click the Extract button. Choose the location you wish to save to (I suggest you create a folder called LectureExamples perhaps) and proceed with the extraction (click OK).
  You'll end up with a folder of the same name as the .7z file, and within this folder you'll find the .sln file which will launch VB2005.

  Important: Limits on HOW you work together

  Students often seem to be unclear about what constitutes plagiarism in this course. Therefore, some Do's and Don'ts ...

  Do discuss the basic algorithmic approach to solving a problem.
  Do separately write the code trying to implement the approach.
  Do assist someone else in debugging their code.
  

  Don't share your code, particularly ....
  Don't send a file to someone else.
  Don't sit together in the lab writing the code jointly
  

  The code you write is somewhat like an essay - usually how one person writes it is distinctive to them, and close "collaboration" is easy to spot. Cases of non-individual work will be dealt with severely.
