+Hello, question 7.4 from the problem set refers to Table 7.1 which also appears to be missing. --- //Michele Illuminati 2009/02/11 18:27//

+Review problem set is up on the [[:announcements]] page.  --- //[[http://www.andreweckford.com/|Andrew Eckford]] 2009/01/26 15:26//

+I have just confirmed that I am allowed to change the marking scheme, as long as I give everyone the option of reverting to the old marking scheme.  The only change I want to make is the following:  Lab 4 (when I post it) is now optional.  If you complete Lab 4, you will be graded under the old marking scheme.  If you do not complete Lab 4, your three labs will be worth 5 1/3% each (for a total of 16%), and the rest of the marking scheme remains the same.
+As far as the quizzes are concerned, I envision Quiz 3 as a refresher quiz, to be held in the second class after the break.  I'll be giving a problem set within a couple of days just in case we are back in class next week (unlikely in my **uninformed** opinion).

 Are we supposed to cover all the material in the course outline? I understand assigning extra assignments would help, but some of us are taking 4 other courses and I highly doubt we're gonna have that much time. Plus we still have a lot of projects due as well. The fact that its only 13 days of school, thats too short. Exams will probably be right away too.

+  * Officially we are required to cover all the material in the course outline.  The more in-depth material will have to be curtailed, but the only major topic we have left is error detection and correction. --- //[[http://www.andreweckford.com/|Andrew Eckford]] 2009/01/10 10:16//
+    * Would it be possible for you to post optional assignments for people who can use the practice? It couldn't hurt... and for those who have more course work, it's always optional and doesn't contribute towards any heavy homework loads. --- //[[cs233316@cse.yorku.ca|Neela Maharaj]] 2009/01/20 09:42//

 From what I'm aware of you are actually allowed to change the marking scheme during the remediation period as long as students can opt for the original marking scheme.  Having said that I'm wondering if the following is possible;

   * I don't like the idea of a "mini-test". Although I like the idea of taking the 4th lab out and making the 3rd lab beefier.  --- //[[cs251004@cse.yorku.ca|Dominik Swierad]] 2009/01/06 22:24//
+    * These are good suggestions.  If it's true that I can change the marking scheme as long as students have the option of the old marking scheme, then Lab 4 will end up being optional.   --- //[[http://www.andreweckford.com/|Andrew Eckford]] 2009/01/10 10:16//

 A review will help.  But I am almost sure that the schedule will be super compressed (probably we will be allowed only 4 - 5 lectures to catch up).  In which case I think the best way is to assign a lot of extra problem sets with the solutions so we can study them on our own time. --- //[[cs231178@cse.yorku.ca|azwar A khalid]] 2009/01/05 20:42//
-* Any review would be probably very fast, and might not serve anything beyond "well this is what we did". A few problem sets to do on our own time, though, that would be much more beneficial. --- //[[cs251004@cse.yorku.ca|Dominik Swierad]] 2009/01/05 20:42//
