• Mini Project 3 grades were emailed on Mon Dec 10.
• Mon Dec 10, Tue Dec 11: Network and Email problems Since around 11:30am today Mon Dec 10, access to alg101@cs.njit.edu is not possible because of an apparent networking problem. Neither email can be sent to nor email transmitted from it. If you sent an email to alg101@cs.njit.edu, please send it again to the instructor's email address directly. Because of this problem, email for MP3 will be sent directly from the grader's email account, rather than from agl01. Such email dispatch would be completed tonight Monday Dec 10. As soon as these network/email problems are resolved, this notice would be updated accordingly. As of Tue Dec 11, these problems have still been unresolved (Tue Dec 11, 9:14am). At 10:05, Tue Dec 11, connectivity problems have been resolved.
• Mini Project 3 All emails received through Thu Dec 6 12:05 have been acknowledged. (Note that this link won't be updated between 11:20 and 4pm on Thu Dec 6 due to classes and meeting participation.)
• Nov 26, Final Exam Date The final Exam date for Section 001 and Section 003 has been announced. It will be on Thu Dec 20 (last day of the exam period). The exam starts at 8:30 am, 120mins, 300pts. The common room for both sections is Cullimore Lecture Hall 2. Note that all sections of CS 101 have an exam that date and time; they utilize other exams rooms. Make sure that you come to the designated exam room and NOT to the classroom or to some other section's room. Note that in some browsers the starting time shows as if the exam is to start at 11:00am and to conclude by 11:00am. This is incorrect. The exam will start at 8:30am promptly. You can verify the exam information from Registrar's Web-page Fall 2012 Exam Schedule (the bottom of page 6 has the information for section 001 and 003).
• Nov 23, MP2 Emails with grades were sent out early Friday morning.
• Mini Project 2 All emails received through Tue Nov 20, 12:04 have been acknowledged. Note that the due date has been extended to noon Nov 20 from an earlier announced noon Nov 15.
• 11/09 and 11/16 MP1 grades emailed. An email was sent around 5:00pm on Fri Nov 16 re MP1. This supplements and verifies the numeric scores announced in class earlier this week. A brief feedback was provided in the form of named variable that were not properly set. If you have any questions re this message conduct the instructor directly who sent out those email messages.
• 11/06 To all Students Due to the disruption caused by Hurricane Sandy, no quiz will be given this week and the next. However expect a flurry of quizes the weeks after.
• 11/05 Email issues Update 2:24pm 11/5 The account alg101@cs.njit.edu IS NOT WORKING. We have been unable to read email messages sent to it since Mon Oct 29 because of Hurricane Sandy. Thus, if you want to communicate, send an email directly to the instructor or the TA (who is having hurricane-related problems). In the email add the course number including section number in the Subject line, if you expect a prompt response. Email problems might have been resolved as of Mon 11/5, 2:24pm; however email sent since Mon Oct 29 may have been lost
• 11/05 MP2 extension MP2 will be granted an extension. It is now due on Tuesday Nov 20. (Do not forget that because of the Thanksgiving Recess, NJIT follows a Thursday schedule on Tuesday Nov 20, thus section 003 will meet both Monday and Tuesday, whereas section 001 will only meet Tuesday; no office hours that day since for NJIT that Tuesday would be a Thursday).
• 11/05 Back to class Today's class for section 003 will be given as scheduled. Exam 1 will be returned. MP1 HAS NOT BEEN GRADED YET DUE TO THE HURRICANE DISRUPTIONS.
• 10/28-10/29 Hurricane Sandy NJIT will be closed Monday Oct 29 and also Tuesday Oct 30. Thus there would be no classes. In addition, no office hours would be held on Mon or Tue.

Excluded from Chapter 2 function plot related material or printf related material. Since several of you have asked, calculators are allowed as long as they are just that (no internet, no matlab, not phone-based, no computer-based). The workstation is front of you would be off (i.e. no MATLAB on it) and it's your responsibility to be so. Note that as noted already in the syllabus, the exam is open-textbook. If you bring a copy (hardcopy that is) of the textbook you can use it. You are not allowed to borrow one from a fellow student; e-copies are not allowed either.
• Mini Project 1 All emails received through Oct 18, 12:58 have been acknowledged. Note that on Oct 18, 2012, I will not be reading email between 11:00am and 4:00pm. So all submissions received after 11am will be acknowledged well after 4pm.
