BRING YOUR CORNELL ID CARDS TO THE FINAL.
WE WILL SCAN THEM IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN RECORDS AND PREVENT MISTAKES.
Review sessions!
Thursday, 9 May, Kennedy Hall Call Auditorium
10:00AM-11:00AM Data structures, concurrency, complexity
11:00AM-12:00AM Java, recursion, loop invariants
Don't forget to complete the "quiz" on the CMS by Thursday 9 May midnight to tell us whether accept the tentative grade. If you accept it, that is your grade. What others do on the final does not affect your grade.
If you have a conflict with the final or are authorized to have a quite room or extended time, please email Lacy Lucas lsl92@cornell.edu.
Please read the document "FinalReview.pdf" to be found in the above table to find out what is on the final.
Two review sessions are being scheduled, probably for Thursday morning. More about this later.
About course grades
If everyone did A work, everyone would get an A. That has never happened because of the wide range of abilities in this class. For the past 5-6 years, the average grade has been about a B to a B+. We expect that to be the case this semester.
Please read about grades on the course website: courseinfo.html#grading
Conflicts
If you have a conflict with another exam or other university-sponsored event:
- First try to reschedule the other event. Exams take precedence over almost everything else.
- For other exams, refer to the official schedule. If the other exam is not scheduled by the registrar, the other instructor is obligated to give you the makeup exam.
- If you have exhausted other means for rescheduling your conflict, read the above "ABout prelim or final" to see how to handle it.
- If you miss an exam because of illness, you must provide documentation.
By University policy, courses are not obligated to provide makeup exams for students taking concurrent courses, and we will not do so in this course. The Courses of Study states: "Students are expected to be present throughout each semester at all meetings of courses for which they are registered." The term "meetings" includes exams, even when scheduled in the evening.

Quizzes
There may be occasional in-class quizzes.
Quizzes will count for a small percentage of your final grade. Any unused quiz "weight" will be shifted to the exams or assignments.
