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:

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.

begin comment 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.

end comment All the information pertaining to the course like office hours, syllabus, actual lecture notes etc. will be available on this page. Right now we are in the process of setting up. Please check back in a couple of days for more complete information.

TAs (Please make a note of TA office hrs)

commented out 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.
