Grades / Last post

Grades are posted here [PDF], sorted by the last 4 digits of your student number.  If there is an error, please let me know immediately.

Notes:

• These grades are for section Z only. Professor Turpin will distribute the grades for section M.
• These grades are unofficial until approved by the department.  Occasionally, the department will require changes to the final grades, either to raise or lower.
• If you did not write the final exam for any reason (including an approved request for deferred standing), your grade does not appear here.

Please address questions on final exam grading as follows: for the written part, please ask me; for the labtest part, please ask Professor Turpin.

Enjoy your summer.

Final signin counts

Here (PDF)  are the final counts for lab attendance.

If your CSE number is on the list, and your attendance count is less than 4, then you receive an automatic grade of zero for the final exam (both the written and labtest parts).  This is consistent with course policies, which have been mentioned frequently in class and on this website.

If your CSE number is not on the list, then either (1) you have no prism account on file (in which case, for obvious reasons, we count your signins as zero), or (2) according to our records, you are not enrolled in the course.

If you believe there is an error in your attendance count, please contact me immediately.

Division of the class for the final

The final exam takes place on Friday, April 15, from 9 AM to 12 noon.

There is a written part and a labtest part. Both parts have time limits of 80 minutes, with a 20 minute break in between.  The written part takes place in CSE lecture hall C (in the basement), and the labtest part takes place in the Prism lab.

• If your last name starts with the letter A-L: You will be doing the labtest part first.  Go to the lab at 9 AM.
• If your last name starts with the letter M-Z: You will be doing the written part first.  Go to CSE C at 9 AM.
• Exception: Everyone with arrangements through the Alternate Exam Centre will do the labtest part first.

For the first part of the test, you will not be permitted to leave until 80 minutes have elapsed. For the second part, you can leave at any time.

Fair warning

The class average on labtest 2 and written test 2 were surprisingly high. You can expect the final exam to be much harder.

Beware of Fraudulent Exam Site

I just received the following message, which was sent to all students, and am posting it here for your info.

It has come to my attention that there is a website that is falsely offering to sell final examinations in a number of York University courses.  Not only is this information false but it could also result in the fraudulent use of your credit card and personal information.

Faculty members of York University personally prepare each of their examinations.  Examinations are not stored in a central data bank.

The information and claims found on the website cannot be trusted and I strongly encourage you to ignore the site.

If you have questions or concerns about your upcoming examinations I encourage you to speak with your professor or an academic adviser.  

Information on preparing for tests and examinations and dealing with exam anxiety is available at the following: http://www.yorku.ca/cds/lss/skillbuilding/exams.html

Also please note that exam prep and peer advising sessions will be taking place in Counselling and Disability Services in N102 Bennett Centre on April 14, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m., and April 19, 10 a.m. – 12:00 p.m..

I wish you all the best in your finals.

What's testable for Written Test 3 and Labtest 3

Everything in the entire course is testable, except GUI.  For greater clarity, GUI will be on neither the written test nor the labtest.

Although everything except GUI is testable, emphasis will be on the material covered since Test 2.  This includes:

• Recursion, including recursive sorting
• Linked lists
• Inner classes
• Generics
• Iterable and Iterator
