CS610 Past Announcements for Fall 2019 (A. V. Gerbessiotis)

Past Announcements

12/19 Exam 3 inspection You may inspect your final exam paper (Exam 3) between noon time (aka 12 o'clock or 12:00) and 1pm (aka 13:00) tomorrow Friday Dec 20. I will limit this inspection to 1min to 90sec per student. So be prepared to have ready last name, exam number, and last four ID digits. And BTW i hope that everybody would be graded by then. Note that the marks would refer to a 1st pass grading. (Things can change on a second pass, but usually it affects few students and few points per exam.) After 1pm sharp i will be grading another course and i will only entertain emails and my answers would be "exam 3 grade is exam 2 + 25 pts or exam 1 * 2 - 50 pts". More might follow after the weekend.
12/15 End of semester notice Note that at some point around the end of this week the course web-page will be cleaned up of some if not all pdf material and will be retired. HTML material will be retrievable under the Past Semester link.
12/03 Final Exam Information Preliminary Final Exam Information (as of 12/12/2019)
12/15 End of semester notice Note that at some point around the end of this week the course web-page will be cleaned up of some if not all pdf material and will be retired. HTML material will be retrievable under the Past Semester link.
12/13 PrP grading Grades will be released in moodle around Tue even if first round of grading could finish as early as the weekend. We would rather do it in one shot to avoid mistakes and avoid going back and forth. The grading takes more time for two reasons: (a) volume of option submissions, (b) grader grading another class well.
12/12 Office Hours Exam Week There will be regular office hours during exam Week. However every student, will be given a 10 minute period, so that all students have contact time eventually. If there is no one else waiting, another 10 minute period will be made available to the only student waiting, as needed. Try to use the Tue office hours; on Wed night i have the 610 exam, but Thu morning i have another exam. Students from both classes might pop up on Wed. Note also on Wed office hours will stop at 5:30pm sharp.
12/04 PrP Do not email me zip or tar files. Submit them to moodle. If you make a mistake an email to me will revert your submission to draft mode. I have done so twice already before noon time.

The midterm will test material covered in subjects 1,2,3,4,5 and the corresponding chapters of the designated required textbook (GT) as specified on the cover page of every subject, as well as in Section C.6. Note that Huffman coding has NOT been covered yet and thus is NOT in the exam. Practice PSes include 1 and 2 but some problems of PS 3 can also be used for practice using techniques currently available. Also HW1 and HW2. Moreover, i have changed the order of coverage for certain topics this semester; therefore do not draw conclusions from practice exams about what material will be tested or not. Study all.

9/25 Moodle and HW grades You might be able to see in moodle not only a HW grade but also a moodle generated 'course total'. Ignore the latter 'course total'. I never asked moodle to generate it, i don't know what moodle is doing to derive it. Just use the nominal grade for a HW whose scale is available in the syllabus.
9/18 PS2, Exam Seating Arrangements The second Problem Set with solutions is available in Section C. In addition, C.1.b indicates seating arrangements that will be utilized in all class exams. For each one of the registered students a line indicates your exam number, some digits of your NJIT ID (consecutive) and some characters of your first/given name (or what NJIT thinks it is). Find your exam number and then locate your seating position.
