ANNOUNCEMENTS
11/20 - The 5 pts on the
lab4 exam about the debugger will be repeated with an additional 5 T/F
set of questions on lab5 exam. These 5 points will still be
counted toward the Lab4 exam and the Lab5 exam will have the full 15
points (i.e. these T/F will be in addition to the Lab5 exam
questions). The highest grade out of 5 points from either the
lab4 exam (with the 5 original T/F questions) or the lab5 exam
debugger section (10 T/F questions) will count toward the lab4 exam
grade.
11/5 - Lab 3 can
be one day
late without penalty (i.e. can turn in 11/6 midnight), however, the
lab3 quiz is still Friday, and if you turn in the lab 2 days late (i.e.
after R 11/6 midnight), then the lab is still considered 2 days late
with a 50% penalty.
11/5 - For lab3, the "RESTAURANT TOTALS" list
the employee of the month and the RESTAURANT totals, not the totals for
the employee of the month!
11/4 - On Monday,
11/3, we
went over the string and unstring statements. The sample programs
are in /usr/class/cse314/exstring.cob and
/usr/class/cse314/exunstring.cob for your benefit.
11/4 - Lab#3 quiz Friday 11/7.
10/28 - The midterm
information includes all the information covered the first 4
weeks of class as specified on the syllabus EXCEPT unix, scope and
accept information i.e. there will be no questions on the midterm about
scope, unix or the accept statement.
10/20 - Midterm exam was set for Wed 10/29. However, a few
students have a midterm directly following also in a programming
language course (VB). Because of this, I am asking all students
to let me know if you have any problems if the midterm exam is moved to
Friday 10/31. The midterm is NOT moved at this point. I am
trying to determine if this is an okay move... please let me know if
you would rather not have the midterm moved to Fri 10/31.
10/20 - Lab#2 quiz is schedule for Fri
10/24
10/13 - I forgot
to let you
know what the Lab#1 Quiz would be like i.e. what types of questions and
what material. ALL lab quizzes will test the information in the
GOAL section of the lab handout. It may have true/false questions, code
evaluation, code fill in the blank, multiple choice and/or sometimes
matching. For example, I could give you an output report and the code
that creates the output with blanks in the code for you to fill
in. Also, I could give you a loop, and ask you to show me the
output of the code. Lab#1
Quiz will NOT have any Unix related problems. Also, none of the
vocab will appear on this quiz either... I'm saving these for the
midterm :o)
10/13
- LAB#1 QUIZ is scheduled
for Wed 10/15 during the
middle of class!
10/2

class to
be considered to fill any possible open positions due to drops.
09/24
- You must
attend at least one of the first two days of class. If you are
absent,
and have not contacted me prior to the start of the quarter, you will
be
automatically dropped from the class per university policy.

- This class
will take a significant amount of your time. Please be aware that
spending an average of 9 hours a week outside of class on your labs and
exams
is normal for this course (and that's just the average!).
