Hi CS 352 Students,
Overall, I was very pleased with your lab 4 reports. It's evident to
me that you all learned a lot more from lab 4 than students in past
years. The thoroughness of your research and ability to draw
connections between the technical specifications and what you observed
was impressive. Also, a lot of you were able to explain the meaning
of performance at particular stride sizes.
Some of you really need help with writing, be it grammar, spelling, or
just overall organization and style. You should check out the
Undergraduate Writing Center [http://uwc.utexas.edu/]. As an
undergraduate, I used it for a few of my essays/papers and found it
really helpful.
With regards to grading, if you did what was expected, you got a 95.
In the past, I've been so impressed by some papers that I've awarded
bonus points. This year, I decided to just start at 95 and grade the
outstanding papers between 95 and 100. If you made below an 80, there
was probably something significantly wrong with what you wrote or
turned in. While I definitely did not want to read bologna and
redundant sentences, you needed to demonstrate a certain level of
depth. It didn't even really matter that much what you delved into,
so long as it was related. If you made between a 90 and 95, there was
probably just something small missing. I'll hand back the feedback
reports tonight.
The final exam will be difficult. Study hard. Come prepared to
demonstrate your proficiency in the course's material.

Either my office hours on Wednesday or before the final exam (we'll
hand back hw 11, quiz 9, and lab 4; I'm not sure whether hw10 has been
returned yet). If you think you'll have questions about your lab4
grade, you should stop by on Wednesday.

Hi everyone,
All homeworks and quizzes can be picked up during my office hours today 2-3:30pm and on Thursday 3-4:30pm. I will also bring HW11 and Quiz 9 on the 11th. Homework 10 was handed back last Thursday.
