Important Announcements
Welcome to the CS 304P Homepage for
Summer 1997! All important announcements pertaining to the class
will be available here. So please check this page regularly (for
the latest handouts, assignments, projects, lecture notes etc.).
Please take some time to navigate through the different links to
familiarize yourself to the orientation of the page.
A very important note : You must present a PHOTO ID at the
door to be able to take the final exam for CS 304P.
The Final Exam will be held on Saturday, August
16 from 9AM-12PM in Taylor 2.106
Review sheets for the final exam are being distributed during
discussion and lab sections. Copies can also be found in Painter
3.08 and in a bin outside of Dr. Porter's office (Taylor Hall
4.124). Although the review sheets will not be graded, they are a
valuable resource in preparing for the exam. Just as with the
midterm, about 30-40& of the test questions will come directly from
the review sheet.
If you have not picked up a copy of the handouts on "Lexical
Analysis" and "Parsing and Code Generation", please do so at your
earliest convenience. There are copies available in the proctor's
office (PAI 3.08) and also in the bin in front of Dr. Porter's
office.
The ninth programming
assignment (parser) is available now. Click here to download.
You will need a copy of the P88 simulator to run the P88 programs.
You can get it from here. Please click here to download the P88 simulator . You need to save
it as a text file first and then open it using Turbo Pascal and
save it again but as a .PAS file. You will then be able to run it
as a normal Pascal program.
Regrade for Exam I
You may be eligible for a re-grade of questions 1 and 10 on the
Midterm Exam. If either of the following applies to you, please talk
with your TA as soon as possible:
- QUESTION 1: you wrote multiple lines of Pascal code, rather
than a single statement, and points were deducted
because of it
- QUESTION 10: you answered "no", but gave a sensible explanation
The following data will help you interpret your MIDTERM grade.
Maximum possible points: 50
Average score on the test: 26.7
Highest score: 45
Lowest score: 6
If I assigned letter grades based solely on this exam, the grades
would be roughly as follows:
39 to 50: A
30 to 38: B
19 to 29: C
11 to 18: D
0 to 10: F
Also an announcement regarding Turbo Pascal:
If you're interested in buying Pascal for your own computer,
here's some useful information from Toren Smith, the lab
administrator for the Dell's: Unfortunately for students, Turbo
Pascal isn't free. The last time I checked, the campus MicroCenter
carried copies of Turbo Pascal 7 for $50, which is a pretty good
deal. Students should get specifically `Borland Turbo Pascal 7',
not `Borland Pascal 7' ($300 or so), and not `Borland Turbo Pascal
1.5 for Windows', which is also $50 at the MicroCenter, but is not
what you want. Also be warned that if you find a copy of Turbo
Pascal 6 (used, presumably) then it won't work under Windows 95.
Other than that it should be okay.
Dr. Porter's lectures are on the page now! Check them out using
the link below.

Please go through your graded exams and tally up tour points for correctness. If you do
not agree with the grading for a specific question and feel that you
need a regrade, please identify the question (s) and submit your paper along
with a regrade request (mentioning the question number) to the proctors in PAI 3.08.
This has to be done before Friday, 02/21.

For the (second) exam on Thursday, March 6, a review questions handout has been made available.
The Exam is open book, open notes etc. You can bring any supplementary material you
deem necessary. Four/Five of the questions in the test will be from the Review
handout which Dr. Bording distributed in class (one that has 28 questions). Some of the
remaining questions will be patterned after the questionsn the "review questions" handout.
So it is to your advantage to solve all the
questions on the Review sheets so that you can simply transcribe them during the exam from
your notes and spend the bulk of your time solving the other questions. Forming study groups
and dividing the effort in solving the problems is a good idea. Exchanging notes on the
solution methods for different questions with your classmates will be helpful. However, make
sure that you understand the method behind arriving at a solution for each question, since
all questions may not be quoted verbatim (other than the five which will be quoted as is).
Also, please do not neglect the material Dr Bording covered in lecture (available in this page and
also handed out in class) and the ones the TAs covered in discussion/lab. You can expect
some coverage in the Exam on these topics. The TAs will answer
questions from the Review sheet on Wednesday, March 5 (Review class) and during office hours.
The room assignment from the Exam is available on the lower end of this page.
