Administrative stuff

Notes and News

  • Happy slightly belated Lunar New Year! (I realize that different cultures name it differently; we tend to use “Lunar New Year” as an inclusive term at Grinnell.)
  • Evening tutoring will be available 3-5 p.m. Sundays and 8-10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays in the tutoring channel on the CS team.
    • If evening tutors + mentor sessions are not enough, we do have individual tutors available.
    • Evening tutors like visitors.
  • I am spending too much time on auto graders and not enough time grading manually.
    • Expect a slew of grades and makeup quizzes on Monday if not before.
    • Today’s autograder gives scores, but not text results. (I love debugging!)
  • If you miss class, I do expect you to watch the recording, read over the transcript and eboard, and/or talk to other students.
  • Warning! I’ve spent too much of today staring at the screen and my eyes are not focusing well. It may take me a minute to check in with you.
    • Yes, you can make the same comment to me from time to time.
  • We’re doing lists! Yay!
    • History: Racket is a variant of Scheme. Scheme is a variant of LISP (invented in late 1950’s). LISP stands for “LIst and Symbolic Processing”
  • Thanks for being an awesome class.
    • Everyone is showing up.
    • Grader says you did a good job on MP1
