Preliminaries

Admin

• Friday PSA (also applies to Block Party and Last Chance Not Harris).
• Sit anywhere, but be prepared to work with the person next to you.
• So that this is available for everyone: I've had some students ask whether they could work on the CSC 161 material over the summer so that they could take CSC 207 in the fall or spring.
  • We do have an old, robot-free version of CSC 161 that students have attempted on their own (with some feedback from a faculty member)
  • About 1/2 the students who attempt the robot-free CSC 161 finish at a level that permits them to go on to CSC 207, but it's usually only the strongest students who try.
  • This summer, I'm going to try a variation. Students will do the EdX Harvard CS50 Course, which includes not only 161 material but also some Web development. Students will also do the last four weeks or so of CSC 161 (I'm working on the details).
  • If you choose to do this soon and are a rising 3rd year or senior, you may be able to get 2 credits through the new Guided Learning Rubric.
  • I will also be setting up a support group of students who want to try this option.
  • Let me know if you are interested.
• Those who turned in exam 4 on Tuesday should be able to pick up a graded exam 4 at the end of class. (I still need to get them entered into my gradebook.)
• "There's more to life than (grading) computer science." I had hoped to get you grades tonight. Enough administrative work got in the way that they won't get to you until Saturday night, and that's just for the people who got exams in on time.
• No, you do not need to take the final to invoke the good faith grade guarantee.

Course Evaluation

  • Q7: The one thing that most helped my learning was ...
  • Q8: One thing that would have helped my learning more is ...
• Please fill out the RISC survey at http://bit.ly/GC-RISC
  • Because there are more students than computers, you may need to use the computers in the neighboring room.

Upcoming Work
