Today:
- Announcements
- Final exam:
- Our final is Thursday, May 4th, 1:00-3:00.
- For the final you may have an 8.5x11 page, both
sides. Bring a calculator -- you might need it.
- Recall: I am going to make the final a little more
interesting for those who've had a bad test along the way (and
for everyone else, actually):
- I'll have the comprehensive final in two parts: new
material and old material.
- I'll consider the new material like a separate midterm exam;
then I'll take the best two of your three "midterm exams".
- So the final exam can help make up for a stumble along the
way. But you have to do well on the problems from the new
material!
- Our previous exam was through section 5.3. So this exam will
feature new material from chapters 6-8. That's seven sections! As
usual, you'll have a fairly balanced exam, with some from each -- but
I've got less than ten minutes per section.
- I usually have a skip option for the old part, at least -- I may
for the new part, too.
- Some
old finals
- I usually do an evening review before the final: we agreed on
Tuesday evening, 7:00-9:00 p.m. We'll plan to hold it in our
classroom. If there is a conflict, I'll post a sign with a new
location.
- Any questions on logistics for the final?
- Homework 8.2a is not returned -- these will be back Monday, along with 8.2, part b
- You owe me hw 8.2, part b.
- These are your projects to
evaluate. If they're not in by midnight tonight, you're off the
hook. Reviews are due by next Friday (after your exams). Please
take the reviews seriously, as I consider them when assigning
grades for your peers.
- I'd like to begin by asking if there are any questions about Finite State Machines.
- Then we'll consider any questions about any material for the final.
- A view from the end of the tunnel....
