What I did on my reading week

If you want to know what I'm up to for reading week (and why I'm away for a few days next week), see here.

Lab 4 signins

If your prism login is on this list, you signed in for lab 4.  If not, you were marked as absent. This list should include those who wrote their makeup test on Wednesday.

New lab feedback procedure

I seem to be losing a lot of feedback requests.  From now on, please follow the following procedure to get best results:

1. Request feedback from your section's instructor.  If you're in my section, ask me; if you're in Prof. Turpin's section, ask him.
2. If you're requesting feedback from me, send me an email (here's my contact info) with subject line: "CSE 1030 Lab X Feedback Request" (where X = the lab for which you are requesting feedback). That will make it easier to find the email later.
3. Send a feedback request for each lab.  If you ask for lab 4 feedback, you will not automatically get feedback for lab 5 or 6.

For labs 4, 5, and 6, I will try to complete all feedback requests prior to Labtest 2.

Lab 4 and 5 open thread

I was a bit late with this.

Also: I understand there was only one TA available on Wednesday afternoon.  That was due to special circumstances, normally there will be three TAs available.   Sorry to anyone who wasn't able to have their question answered ...

Schedule adjustments

I mentioned that I would be away for a couple of classes after Reading Week.  Here are the post-reading-week lecture schedule adjustments for my section:

• Monday Feb 28: Lecture is on. You will get your written test 1 back, and the TA will be available to go over it.  If time permits, the TA may go over some of the labtest questions.
• Wednesday Mar 2: Lecture is CANCELLED. However, to make up for this cancellation, there will be a lecture on Monday March 14 (the day of test 2).
• Friday Mar 4 and following: We return to your regularly scheduled program.

There is no change to the lab schedule, and no change to Prof. Turpin's section.

Small change to sign-in policy

Because one lab period was missed due to the winter storm, a small change has been made to the lab sign-in policy: you are now required to sign in to at least four labs (out of 8), not five labs (out of 9).

UPDATE 2: Makeup test 1

The makeup test for those who couldn't attend Test 1 will be Wednesday, Feb 16, from 2:30-4 PM.

Let me know if you can't make it.

UPDATE: To be clear, if you are not writing the makeup test, then go to the lab and sign in, as usual.

UPDATE 2: The makeup test will be in CSEB 2002.  People writing the makeup test will receive a sign-in credit.

Thursday's labtest: Power is on in CSEB

The computer science and engineering building is not affected by the current power outage.  The Thursday labtest will go ahead as scheduled.

Found during the test: A cellphone

Let me know if it's yours.

Written Test 1 details

Location: CSE building, lecture hall A
Time: Monday, February 7, 5:30-7 PM

The test covers static features, non-static features, aggregates (i.e., objects within classes), and arrays.

Section Z lecture (Prof. Eckford, 1030-1130) is canceled on Monday; just go to the test.

Section M room change

Effective immediately, Section M lectures (with Prof. Turpin) will be held in ACE 011.

Section Z lectures (with Prof. Eckford) will remain in CLH B.

Labtest 1 and Written Test 1 open thread

Go nuts.

UPDATED: University closed Wed Feb 2

The university is closed Wed Feb 2 due to the snowstorm. Lectures and labs are canceled.

UPDATE: Prof. Turpin's Thursday office hour is cancelled.  Assuming the university is open, the lab will be available during the normal Thursday lab period, but the lab is optional and sign-in is not required.

BREAKING NEWS: Labtest 1 postponed

In anticipation of the major storm expected for tomorrow, Labtest 1 is postponed to next week.

BOTH THE WEDNESDAY AND THE THURSDAY LABTESTS ARE POSTPONED.  They will now be held on Wed, Feb 9 and Thurs, Feb 10.

If the university is not closed, the labs will be open for regular work.  However, the lab will be optional -- no sign-in required.

Tell your friends!

Lab 3 signins

If your CSE number is on this list, you signed in for Lab 3.  If not, then you were marked as absent.

UPDATED: Labtest 1 weather update

As long as the university is open, Labtest 1 will go ahead.  Here is the university's weather status page.

Labtest 1 is postponed.

If the university is open, the lab will be open for you to work, if you wish.  No sign-in required.
