Computer Science II
Announcements | |
| May 13 | Final grades have been entered into SIS and should be available within 24 hours. We will not be returning the final exams, but if you'd like to look over your graded exam or get your notes sheets back, please make an appointment with Professor Cutler. Have a great summer break! |
| May 8 | We've had a number of people asking... Yes, we will use grade modifiers (A, A-, B+, B, etc.) in assigning the final grades. And no, we cannot tell you what score you need on the final to get a particular grade because the final exam will be curved, similar to the tests. The final grades will also be curved. |
| May 7 | Solutions for the final exam review problems have been posted on the calendar. |
| May 2 | Checkpoints 1, 2, & 3 for lab 14 have been posted on the calendar. |
| Apr 28 | Final exam review problems have been posted on the calendar. The solutions will be posted in about a week. |
| Apr 28 | The review office hours on May 8 and May 9 will be held in Lally 102. |

| Apr 13 | Juda will not be having office hours tomorrow, Friday April 14, due to the upcoming holiday. |
| Apr 12 | Graded Tests were handed back in lab. Stats for the exam: Max=98, Min=7, Average=66, Standard Deviation=18. Approximate grades: 78&up=A, 68&up=B, 50&up=C, 40&up=D. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 days. Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down. Please thank all of your TAs for their extra effort Tuesday afternoon and evening to get the tests graded this quickly. |

| Mar 30 | Here's the information about the Games Festival (4/28) & Games Symposium (4/29) that was advertised during lecture. |
| Mar 28 | The movies.txt file for HW7 has been updated to replace some non-ASCII characters. Please download the new file if these characters are causing a problem. Also, the comment in the assignment about the "...." separating actor name from character name is irrelevant for the sample input files. There are some movies in IMDB that do not have character names for all actors and if you include those movies in your new test case(s) you will need to handle actors without characters. |
| Mar 28 | Checkpoints 1 & 2 for lab 10 have been posted on the calendar. |
| Mar 24 | HW7 has been posted on the calendar. It is due Thursday Apr 6th @ 11:59pm. Note: This is the first 2 week assignment. You have lots of design and implementation work to do. Please start early. |
| Mar 22 | Roopa's office hours this Thursday, March 23, will be from 3:30 - 5pm (instead of the usual 4 - 5:30pm). |
| Mar 16 | If you are using Visual

Have a relaxing Spring Break, you've earned it! Stats for the exam: Max=96, Min=12, Average=61, Standard Deviation=17. Approximate grades: 75&up=A, 61&up=B, 47&up=C, 37&up=D. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 academic days (by March 22nd). Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down. Please thank all of your TAs for their extra effort Tuesday afternoon and evening to get the tests graded this quickly. |
| Mar 8 | Here are some additional statistics to help you gauge your performance in CS2: HW1 average=43, HW2 average=38, HW3 average=40, HW4 average=44, Labs 1-7 average=2.5 checkpoints. |

| Feb 28 | IMPORTANT Note for HW5: Your solution for HW5 should solve puzzles 1-5 in a reasonable amount of time (no more than a few minutes). The last 3 puzzles are much more difficult and to solve them (for extra credit!) you will need to think carefully about your algorithm. |
