Last CS169 Info

December 04, 1998

There is no final.

Average for the midterm test was 68/100 for the first part and 60/100 for the second part. Congratulations to Scott who did a 100/100 for the first part.

As soon as I have graded the maintenance reports, I will display the final grades in front of my office, Soda Hall 615. If you have questions, if you discover errors in the grading, or if you want to challenge your grade, please come during my extended office hours: Monday, Dec 7, 10:00-12:00 a.m. I will leave on Sunday December 13 for 6 weeks, and will only come back on February 9, 1999.
