The due date for the project Phase 3 is moved to Thursday, 11
December, due to itlabs performance problems. Because this will
make it difficult to get all the grading done on time, you are
encouraged to submit earlier if you are ready.

|
We have released the functional tests we will use to test your project phase 3. It is linked in the outline, and here: Project phase 3 functional tests. Please see the README in the package for instructions on how to test your program. We will essentially be running the included scripts in order to test your functionality when grading!

We will have two optional review sessions to help you finish your
research paper. In these sessions, will we go over what makes a
good research paper and improvements you can make to your
drafts. Both sessions will cover the same material so you
need to attend only one of the two.

The third short writing assignment, which was due on 11/18, is
canceled. It was worth 4% of your grade, so we'll just eliminate
it by dividing your final score by 0.96.

The requirement to detect and report on cycles in Project Phase 2
is deferred to Phase 3. If you have already done the work, you
will still get credit for it, just not until Phase 3. If not, you
don't have to worry about it right away.

|
The due date for the first draft of the research paper is changed
from Tuesday 4 November to Thursday 6 November to give you time to
see your bibliographies, which will be returned on 4 November.

I will be holding an optional extra lab session in EE/CS
1-260 on Tuesday night, 7:15-8:15. The lab is scheduled to be
free, but if for some reason it isn't I will be upstairs on the
4th floor in the public lab (4-250 I think).
This session will be unique in that you will be able
to gain back most of the points you lost in lab 7 (trac lab) by
showing up and working on trac. Once you show me your newly
created tickets, you can gain back 80% of the points you
lost. Therefore, if you got 50 on lab 7, you will be able to gain
40 points, and receive a 90 on lab 7. You need not come with your
partner, but only those who show up will get the points. Think of
this session as an incentive to help you towards a successful
phase 2 project.
If you don't want/need points for lab 7, you can also
use this time to become more familiar with SVN, or just come and
work on the project.

credit.

The first phase of the project is now due at the end of the day on
10/10, rather than 10/9. We expect to have the problems with the

sessions, to finish up.

A sample quiz is posted in the course outline.
It is from an earlier offering of this course, and the topics covered
were slightly different. It was also a bit too long and/or challenging
for a 30-minute quiz, so the quiz on 10/7 will probably be shorter.

| 2008.9.22 |
|
Due to severe hardware problems in the itlabs domain, the due date
for lab 3 is pushed back to Tuesday, 30 September.
