Final Exam Key
Thu 05Aug2010 1:37PMThe Key for the Final Exam has been posted.
A note about problem 14. I realized after you all had taken the final that there were in fact 2 correct answers for problem 14. What this means is that if you put down either A or B for #14 then you will be marked correct.
Bonus Surveys are now up

Try the survey on webassign
Fri 18Jun2010 5:44PMIt looks like the surveys that give extra credit have been activated. There was a delay due to needing to set up the links and redirect the webassign problem links. They are under "Bonus Points - Survey1- Part A" and "Bonus - Points - Survey 2 - Part A"
Lab missed for 6/17/10
Fri 18Jun2010 4:59PMThe lab coordinator has decided that the first lab, which was on Thursday 6/17/10 is too important to miss. Thus if you missed lab you will be expected to do it if you wish to receive credit. This means that you will need to make the program and answer any questions in your lab book. You will then show your lab TA your results and get credit. You have until Thursday to do so.
This lab is fairly short so I don't expect much difficulty in completing it, on average most groups were able to complete it in less than half an hour and at the worst it took less than an hour.

Lab Manuals and You
Mon 14Jun2010 4:21PMThere was a mix up with a few bookstores between 172 and 272 causing them to believe that the lab manual is available online. This is not true, you will need to purchase a lab manual for class as labs will not be provided online.
