Exam 1 Comments: 

If you got less than 50 consider withdrawal
from the course; otherwise you need to study much  harder
in the next 2-3 weeks prior to the midterm

If you missed problem 5 (PS1 problem) it means you
did not pay much attention to the Problem Sets. It will cost
you more than 20% next time.

If you got 90pts or more or less than 90 pts ...
 practice your reading skills:
 as "space efficiency" excludes merge sort... as an option

Problem 1 was supposed to be  a bonus problem ...

Stay clear of problems whose grade points involve
greek letters such as epsilon, varepsilon, etc.
Try Problem 6 instead of Problem 7!

 Exam 2 comments:
  Problem 3.(2) Mis-solving the merge-sort recurrence is inexcusable!

  Problem 4.    You will encounter this problem in the final and in every
  midterm and final i have ever given at NJIT... Do not lose points....
  Linear in  n solutions or quadratic are ......

  Problem 8 is a variation from a PS. Practice with PS problems or  ...

  Problem 9. This was supposed to be easy. It ended up a disaster.

  Problem 10. You can do better.
