York Information Technology (York IT) has set up a desk near the entrance to Steacie Library to help students with computer related questions.

Students who have difficulty accessing the EECS 2011E course directory in order to download the course lecture notes should go to the York IT help desk and learn from them how to login to:

“red.cse.yorku.ca”

and once logged in to “red.cse.yorku.ca”, how to change directory to:

/cs/course/2011E

as well as learn how to download material from there.

Please note that EECS2011E Fall 2019 Assignment 1 has been posted in the course directory /cs/course/2011E on red.cse.yorku.ca

All EECS2011E assignments are to be completed in groups. Each group is required to have a minimum of 2, up to a maximum of 3 students currently enrolled in the class. (Unfortunately, students who are on the waiting list cannot form a group with other students to reserve a topic.)

Please note that the deadline for forming a group of a minimum of 2, up to a maximum of 3 students is Thursday October 3, 2019, 23:59.

For all students that have enrolled in the course but have not yet joined a group by the deadline of Thursday October 3, 2019, 23:59, such students will be randomly assigned to groups.

Please note that students that have enrolled in the course but have not yet joined a group by the deadline of Thursday October 3, 2019, 23:59, could also be randomly assigned/added to any existing group which previously had the minimum size of 2 students (so that it will result in a new group size of 3 instead of 2 students).

Please note that the same groups for Assignment 1 will also be used for completing Assignment 2 and Assignment 3.

The EECS 2011E Midterm Test will be held at the following time and location:

Time: Thursday October 10, 2019, 9:30-11:00 Location: CLH G

The Midterm Test will cover the following: a) Chapters 1-7 of the textbook “Data Structures and Algorithms” 6th Edition. b) All the slides in DS.1.pdf, DS.2.pdf, DS.3.pdf, DS.4.pdf, DS.4_part_2.pdf, DS.4_part_3.pdf, DS.5.pdf, DS.6.pdf, DS.7.pdf; the material referred to in the slides DS.4_part2.pdf, DS.4_part3.pdf; as well as all the material covered in the lectures up to and including the Tuesday October 8, 2019 lecture. Please make sure that you have the most up-to-date version of the lecture notes (some of the lecture notes will be updated before the Midterm Test). It is possible that the Midterm Test may include true/false questions, questions that require short answers, questions that require calculations, questions that may require the drawing of diagrams, questions that require slightly longer answers, questions that may require the writing of short programs using Java code, or pseudo code, similar to that used throughout the textbook and the slides, and other possible question formats.

- Please note that, in order to make sure that everyone in the class gets exactly the same information regarding the Midterm Test, the instructor will not answer individual e-mail questions regarding what will be on and what will not be on the Midterm Test or any questions related to material that may be covered in the Midterm Test after the Tuesday October 8, 2019 lecture, because that would not be fair to those students who do not receive such information. - If you have any questions related to the Midterm Test, please ask such questions during the Tuesday October 8, 2019 lecture.

Please also note that there will be no office hours for the course after the Tuesday October 8, 2019 lecture and before the Thursday October 10, 2019 Midterm Test.

Missed Exams

If a student does not attend the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam but is able to submit a valid official York University Registrar's Office Attending Physician's Statement https://registrar.yorku.ca/pdf/attending-physicians-statement.pdf which specifically states that the student's medical condition makes it impossible for the student to take the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam, then the original percentage (35%) of the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam in the final course grade, will be added to the original percentage (50%) of the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Final Exam in the final course grade. This means that, for any student who does not attend the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam but is able to provide a valid official York University Registrar's Office Attending Physician's Statement, the resulting new percentage of their EECS 2011 Winter 2019 Final Exam in the final course grade will be eighty five percent (35% + 50%) = 85%. Students who miss the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam without submitting a valid official York University Registrar's Office Attending Physician's Statement, will receive a mark of zero for the EECS 2011 Fall 2019 Midterm Exam.

Please note that there will be no makeup midterm exam.

Due to the large number of students in the course, the instructor will not answer individual email questions regarding the midterm test solutions. Any student who requests remarking of his/her midterm test after comparing his/her midterm test answers to the solutions posted in the course directory, must sign and complete the form in the course directory in the file “/cs/course/2011E/EECS2011_Request_for_Remarking.pdf”, and submit this form together with his/her midterm test paper for remarking. Please note that if you request remarking of your midterm test, your midterm test paper must not have been modified in any way, and ALL your answers to ALL the midterm test questions will be remarked, and as a result, after remarking, your final midterm test mark could either increase or decrease.
