• 04/20 MP2 All submissions received through Wed Apr 22 12:01 have been acknowledged. This item will not be updated further; late submissions will be individually acknowledged.
• 04/16 Exam 2 posted The exam (pdf) and solutions (M-file) have been posted. Note that for certain problems involving code-writing, the indicated solution is one of many possible. The M-file utilizes a structure similar to that of MP2: a primary function with multiple subfunctions.
• 04/16 Last day of CS 101-104 is Wed Apr 29; Last day of NJIT classes is Wed May 6 Note that the last day of classes for a Wed class is April 29th. Wed May 6 was to be a Reading Day. Because of the snow situation it would now follow a Monday schedule.Thus the last day of classes for our CS101-104 section is April 29th. We have completed the 12th class and there are two more classes left, a one week break, followed by the final exam on May 13th (which is the fifteenth meeting of the semester) as also noted at Final Exam Schedule (Registrar).
• 04/10 Exam2 Reminder 2 Note that the exam is scheduled for Apr 15, in approximately five days from now (Fri 4/10). The first notice/reminder contains information about topics to be covered etc. All MATLAB diaries have been posted for the first 11 weeks of classes. The class will resume at approximately 7:45pm after the exam. At that time, you may also ask questions about MP2, which is due one week later. All of the material needed for MP2 has been covered in class already. However after the MP2 question/answering session, more examples on different types of functions will be presented in class related to primary functions, subfunctions, nested and private functions. This material is critical and important; roughly one third of the points in the final will deal with functions, if not more.
• 04/02 PS7 and other PS7 has been posted in the course web-page, Section C. Subject 8 is also available.
• 04/02 Exam2 Reminder 1 The forthcoming Exam2 scheduled for April 15, will involve Subjects 4,5,6,7 and draw ideas for problems from PS 3 (fprintf in particular), PS4,PS5,PS6,PS7, and also MP1. Exam2 is not cumulative as it will only examine material covered after Exam1. The final Exam3 is a cumulative exam, covering everything.
• 03/26 PS6 posted in Section C.
• 03/25 PS5 and Subject 7 have been posted in Section C.

• 03/11 Midterm Class Performance An estimate of midterm class performance has been posted in section C.1. It is based only on MP1 and Exam1.
• 03/10 MP2 has been posted in section B. A hardcopy might get handed out the week after the break.
• 03/10 Exam 1 grading and MP1 status Exam1 and solutions to it (in MATLAB) have been posted. Exam related statistics are also available in Section C. The exam is expected to be returned at around the 7:30pm break in class. MP1 gets finalized (eg emails), as emphasis shifted on midterm grading during the past week. By late afternoon on Tue 10 Mar you should have received an email (most, if not all of you). If you have not received an email by noon time Wed 11 Mar do the following: (a) double-check that you sent an email to the TA, (b) you also sent that same email to the instructor and yourself. There have been instances of studens who did not send one or the other email in violation of Rules 2 and 3. We are trying to reconcile some of these cases, if possible. It might still be the case that our search of our records was incomplete: for at least some students who took Exam 1, neither the TA nor the instructor ever received an email re MP1. So we are asking those students who did not follow Rule 2, to tell us if anyone of us got his or her email. If you receive by noon tomorrow an email from us, it mean everything is fine; if not double check your records, and let us know of it!

• 01/23 and 01/24 Web issue (resolved Mon 01/26@3pm) The form in Section B might not be working properly on Friday 23 Jan, 2015. This has to do with a hardware/software update at NJIT that will become effective around Jan 27. Until this is completed (a) if you are outside of NJIT and need to use the form you must first use VPN; otherwise you will get a timeout message. (b) if you are inside NJIT or using a VPN from outside NJIT, everything should work OK now (Sat 1/24@14:58). Updates will be provided as soon as they are made available for those of you who do not use (or do not know how to use) VPN outside of NJIT. As of Mon 1/26@3pm, the form in section B has been working properly.
