<description><![CDATA[
<p>The data files we used to build the stemmer cause it to return strange
stems for some words.  More information is available on the
<a href="homework.html#asn5">homeworks page</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
<p>The <code>build.xml</code> file for <a href="homework.html#asn5">Homework 5</a> has now been updated.  This will
hopefully correct problems some students have had with it not
including Java sources.</p>

<title> HW5 sample data updated</title>
<link>http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/classes/Spring-2008/csci1902/index.php#%20HW5%20sample%20data%20updated</link>
<description><![CDATA[
<p>The Wikipedia files in the <code>data.zip</code> sample data file originally posted
had invalid ASCII characters in them, causing the files to be read
incorrectly on non-UTF8 computers.  This has been corrected, and an
updated file published.  All Wikipedia sample output files have been
updated accordingly.  Please make sure you have the latest version of
the sample data.</p>

<p>To check if you have the correct files, open <code>church.txt</code> and look at
any range of dates.  They should have a single, normal ``-'' (hyphen)
character, not a full-width dash (you should be able to duplicate the
exact same character by typing the ``-'' key) or a sequence of strange
characters.</p>

<p>When looking at sample output, refresh the page to make sure you have
the latest output.</p>

<p>A student pointed out that the sample Wikipedia statistics output (and
also the sample output in the shell session in the writeup) for
<a href="homework.html#asn5">Homework 5</a> did not match the specified <code>stats</code> output format.  This has been
corrected; the output format as specified in the C level is correct.</p>

<title> HW5 clarifications</title>
<link>http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/classes/Spring-2008/csci1902/index.php#%20HW5%20clarifications</link>
<description><![CDATA[
<p>A minor revision has been made to <a href="homework.html#asn1">Homework 5</a>; there was a place where
it mentioned a <code>stat</code> action, but the correct name is <code>stats</code>.  Also, a
couple more clarifying issues:</p>

<ul>
<li>Next week Michael will be posting additional sample outputs for you
to use in testing your code.</li>

<li>The purpose of the documentation in the README file is to provide a
high-level description of your program design (what the different
pieces of your program are and how they fit together, mostly) and to
describe (and justify) your choice of data structures.

<p>It also needs to describe your index file format; if you use the
one we suggest, just say so, but if you alter it at all you need to
describe the alterations.</p></li>
</ul>

<title> Homework 3 grading information</title>
<link>http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/classes/Spring-2008/csci1902/index.php#%20Homework%203%20grading%20information</link>
<description><![CDATA[
<p>Assignments 3 and 4 will both be graded by Shweta, and they'll be
graded in a somewhat different manner than the others. In particular,
each person (or team) must schedule a 15 minute meeting with Shweta to
go over your code with her.</p>

<p>Your assignment will be graded on the basis of (1) correctness of your
code and the level to which you completed it, (2) demonstration to
Shweta that your code works properly, for example by showing test
cases and running them to show they pass, and (3) your understanding
of what your code and related concepts.  (Point 3 can only help your
grade; it will never hurt it).</p>

<p>Monday in class there will be a sheet for you to sign up for a time to
meet with Shweta, so <strong>please be there to sign up for a time</strong>. If you're
not there, you can arrange it by email after class, but you'll have to
settle for whatever slots are left.</p>

<p>The times Shweta is making available to meet with you are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Wednesday April 9: 10am-1pm, 2pm-6pm, 6pm-8pm (if necessary)</li>
<li>Friday, April 11: 1pm-6pm, 6pm-8pm (if necessary)</li>
</ul>

<link>http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/classes/Spring-2008/csci1902/index.php#%20Quiz%201%20grading%20changes</link>
<description><![CDATA[
<p>If you lost points for certain errors on problems 1 or 2 of quiz 1,
you may be able to get some points back.  The following are being
adjusted:</p>

<ul>
<li>Problem 1: If you named a valid non-primitive type in part A, and
then explained this type correctly in part B, you may receive
additional partial credit.</li>

<li>Problem 2: If you had a single, correct line of output saying
'THREE', but nothing else (you omitted the single line containing
'SIX'), you may receive additional partial credit.</li>
</ul>

<p>To receive the credit, bring your exam to the professor or one of the
TA's.</p>
