[cs23021] final exam notes, extended office hours, semester grades

[Mikhail Nesterenko]

CS1 students,

attached are the final exam notes that I handed out in class. I am
holding extended office hours on Sunday, 10am to 1pm. Stop by if you
have any questions regarding the final exam and your semester grades.

We will be posting your lab grades and your project grades on the web
as they become available. As usual, we'll email to the list when the
grades are updated. By Sunday morning we should have all your grades
in. Please check your grades to make sure they are properly recorded.
If there is an issue, my Sunday office hours is the last chance to
clear semester grades issues. I do not discuss them afterwords.

Thank you for attending this class. Good luck on the final.

Thanks,
--
Mikhail
