- May 4, 2010: Office hour change for this week
- This week I'll be in my office Thursday afternoon
instead of Friday.
- Apr. 27, 2010: Final grades and Projects
- OK, just finished entering the final grades.
- I'll be in the office this Thursday from 10-3 if you'd like
to come by and pick up your projects or look at your final exam.
After that, I'll be in most Fridays in May from 10-2,
or you can fire me an email and arrange a pickup at the Sci/Tech
office at the m ain entrance to building 360.
Enjoy the summer!
- Apr. 10, 2010: Labex 3 sample solution posted and Exam reminder
- I've posted a sample solution for lab exercise 3.
- Also a quick reminder that the final exam (Wednesday at 9am in the gym)
is open book, open notes, but no electronics permitted.
- Mar. 30, 2010: Project phase 3 and Lab exercise 3
- Just a quick confirmation, you can turn in the final project
phase and your final lab exercise anytime up to 11:30am on
Thursday April 8th. (I'll try and get that updated on the web
everywhere, but might miss something.)
- Mar. 29, 2010: Project phase 2
- Hi folks, minor hiccup in returning the phase 2's,
Coming up with a reasonable marking scheme has become something
of a challenge, so I've gone to a standardized form for the
feedback and grading (in addition to scribbling on the documents
themselves of course). The
form is here, hopefully I'll have them completed for everyone
for Tuesday's labs.
- Mar. 23, 2010: Lab exercise
- I've posted sample solutions for lab exercise 2
- Mar. 11, 2010: Servers and Lecture cancellation
- I'm still not healthy, and will be posting a cancellation for
today's lecture. (Thus lab ex. 2 won't be due until Monday.)
- Meanwhile, the servers are going to continue to be unstable until
a fix can be applied to the (now isolated/diagnosed) power problem.
- Mar. 9, 2010: Servers back up (at least temporarily)
- Hi folks, 10:14am and our servers are back up, though no guarantees
on how long that may last. There are still potential power and air
con problems for building 315 that may take them offline again.
Today's labs are cancelled, and will be merged with a revised version
next week.
- Mar. 8, 2010: Server outages and Lab exercise 2 deadline changed
- As you have probably noticed, the campus is experiencing a series
of power-related problems that are seriously impacting various systems
(the campus website and servers, phone services, the comp sci servers,
etc).
At the moment the outages and downtimes are pretty unpredictable,
hopefully the situation will stabilize "soon".
- The writeup for lab exercise 2 will now be due in lecture
on Thursday March 11th (instead of in the labs on the 9th)
- Mar. 2, 2010: Midterm solutions
- I've posted sample solutions for the midterm
- Feb. 23, 2010: Lab exercises
- I've posted sample solutions for lab exercise 1,
as well as exercise 2 for the
labs on Tuesday (due back the following week).
- Feb. 15, 2010: Midterm prep
- I've posted some advice and
sample questions for Thursday's optional midterm.
- Feb. 9, 2010: Midterm Feb. 18th is optional
- It was pointed out on Monday that I didn't put anything about a
midterm in the course outline, so what I've decided to do is hold
an optional midterm in class on Thursday Feb. 18th.
If you choose to write it, the midterm will be worth 15%
(the same as the set of three lab exercises),
and when I calculate final grades
I'll take the better of the two - your midterm mark or your
lab exercises.
- Feb. 1, 2010: Lab exercise 1
- I've posted lab exercise 1.
We will work through the exercise portion in this week's labs,
and the writeup will be due in two weeks (Feb. 16).
- Jan. 14, 2010: If you missed Lab 1 ...
- In this week's lab we gave everyone their account
information and got them started using linux, their
CS accounts, and python down in lab room 102
(building 315).
If you missed the labs this week, make sure you get
the lab handout and your account sheet from me either
today or Monday, and try the lab yourself sometime
before next Tuesday.
Lab 102 is available for drop-in use:
- Monday: before 10am and after 1:30pm
- Tuesdays: after 11am
- Wednesdays: before 11am and after 2:30pm
- Thursdays: all day
- Fridays: all day
- Jan. 11, 2010: Lab 1 posted
- If you'd like a look at what we'll be doing in tomorrow's lab,
the details are posted in
lab 1
- Jan. 4, 2010: Lab room switch
- We've had to switch the lab room for 171. The labs will
now be held in room 102 (building 315) instead of room 115.
- Dec. 27, 2009: Website Redesign
- The redesign of the 171 pages is pretty well complete except
for the labs and exam info.
