Announcements

The room assignments for the final are:

A-Kent: NVidia Aud (in Huang)

Ket-Spicer: 420-040

Stevens-Z: Gates B01

The final review session will be held on Monday June 10th, 7 - 9 PM, in Hewlett 200. We will be going over the practice final.

www.codingbat.com, created by Nick Parlante, and www.pracpal.com, created by Amy Nguyen (an SL!), are good resources for the exam - they provide lots of practice problems and answers.

Steve is out of the country until Friday, so he won't be having office hours.

Tuesday, May 28th, there will be an optional review session for the seventh programming assignment. The review session will be held in EDUC 128 from 7pm-9pm.

Tonight, there will be an optional review session for the sixth programming assignment. The review session will be held in Hewlett 103 from 7pm-9pm.

The midterms have been graded. If you didn't pick up your midterm in class, they will be left in the filing cabinet labelled CS106A in the open space near Steve's office in Gates (the area with the pictures of all the CS majors).

Regrades must be requested by next Monday at class time. If you want a regrade you need to write a paragraph explaining the grading error that was made, attach it to your midterm, and give it to Lynn or your section leader. Keep in mind that when we regrade a test, we regrade the entire exam - your final score may go up, but it also might go down.

For statistics, see the slides from lecture today.

Monday, May 13th, there will be an optional review session for the fifth programming assignment. The review session will be held in 200-303 from 7pm-9pm.

Two announcements:

1) If you are having installation/starting problems with Eclipse and/or Java and/or Karel, contact Dilli (an MS grad student in CS) to get help. You can contact him at drpaudel@stanford.edu. He's only handling installation issues, not assignment questions or any other aspect of the course.

2) In doing the Karel assignment, you may not use any features that are part of Java that were not specifically covered as part of Karel. You're limited to the features listed in the cheat sheet in the back of the Karel book. In particular, you may not use mutable variables. (If you do not know what these are, so much the better.)

Welcome to CS106A! We have a great class planned this quarter with lots of exciting material to cover. The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:15-2:05 in Hewlett 200.

The class is 5 units, but can be taken for 3 units by graduate students. You do not need to sign up for a section on Axess. Section signup information will be given in class.
