Homework Zero Released

Frontdesk is up and running. If you want to be in the course and you cannot access the Fall 2009 course in Frontdesk, send your andrew id to your TA. Homework Zero is out and is due Tuesday of next week (September 1). We apologize for the delay in getting the assignment released.

Frontdesk (and Waitlisted Students)

Frontdesk is currently not set up for this semester. Students cannot currently access the course or the homeworks. This will be resolved by the end of the day. If you are currently waitlisted for the course, please email your andrew id to your TA, who will be able to add you to Frontdesk after it is up and running this evening.

Welcome to 15-211

Hopefully we should have everything up and running by the time class starts!

Course grade cut-offs

Even with our last warning, we've had some questions about the letter grade cut-offs for the overall course grades. Please direct any questions here, or see this link for further information. Cheers.

Final exam grades

Please do not, under any circumstances, email us asking what the curve is for the course (or the exam). We plan to submit overall grades tomorrow afternoon. The final exam grades, though, have just been released. The mean (and median) score was 79 (out of 125), with a standard deviation of 17.

Chess server grades released

The grades for your performance on the chess server are now released. Refer to the assignment documentation for the grading rubric. For computing the extra credit points, only students from this semester were considered, and only the best bot was considered from each partnership. If there is an error in the scoring, please let Jeff know by Tuesday at the very latest.

Cheat sheet policy

The cheat sheet policy for the final will be the same as the midterm (one 8.5 x 11 sheet of notes, double-sided).
