The other review session will be Sunday at 7:30 pm. I'm going to say
it's in MD 319, although I haven't reserved it; if problems arise, we
may move.

Hi, class,
There will be a review session for the final tomorrow at 4 PM taught by me
and gwa, somewhere in MD. I will announce the room tomorrow.
There will be another one taught by Dave and Jonathan this week-end - they
will announce it as soon as they agree on the time.

The final review that has been videotaped at the extension school this
Tuesday is not posted online, in the "lecture videos" section. It's the
last section in the table. Let me know if you have trouble accessing it.
Also, the final exams from previous years are posted online as well, in
the "resources" section. I am going to write up answers for the 2001 final
and add them to the site.

Keith Bostic kindly responded by email to my question
on must-read software engineering books (pls see below).
These should keep us busy over the coming summer months.
happy reading,
Steven

OK, here's what's on my bookshelf at the moment, in no
particular order:
Code Complete Steve McConnell
Extreme Programming Explained Kent Beck
Mythical Man Month Fred Brooks
Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
Stevens
TCP/IP Illustrated Vol I & II Stevens
Transaction Processsing Jim Gray
Algorithms in C Sedgewick
The Art of Computer Programming, Vol 3:
Sorting & Searching D. Knuth
Review them before buying them -- if you're not interested in
databases, for example, you won't want to look at Gray, or, in
systems programming, you won't want to look at Stevens.
Also, "reading" Knuth or Gray would probably take a couple of
years, but a basic familiarity with them both is a good thing.
Good luck,

Hi, boys and girls. I will be finalizing the order for CS161 T-shirts in a
couple of hours. If you have not yet told me what size T-shirt you want,
you should do so now! My previous e-mail describing the T-shirts is below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a CS161 tradition to design a T-shirt at the end of class, so that
students can purchase it as a memory for their cs161 experience. Thanks
to your input, we have come up with a T-shirt design, it is posted here:
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~fedorova/161-tshirt/tshirt.html
This design will be printed on a gray "Fruit Of The Loom" 5.6 oz heavy
cotton T-shirt. The first image will appear on the front as a small logo
in the left top corner of the shirt. The second image will be printed
across the back. The design will be applied using screen printing - this
ensures that the image on the T-shirt will survive many washes and will
not fade away.
The T-shirt will cost $15, or less if we get a lot of orders.
Please let me know if you would be interested in buying a T-shirt, the
quantity and the size you will need.

We would very much appreciate it if you could take a few minutes and
answer the following questions. It will help us understand how easily
divisible the assignments are, how much time people *really* spend and
what we might do to make the course more humane in the future.
Thank you very much.
- Margo
A. Assignment 0: How long did you spend on it?
B. Did you consider it a worthwhile use of time?
C. If we told you to read the code, but didn't have an assignment, do you
think you would have spent as much time reading the OS161 source code?
D. Assignment 1: How long did you spend on it?
E. In retrospect, what could we have done (other than reduce the
number/difficulty of the problems) to help you complete the
assignment in less time?
F. Could you tell when you had successfully completed each problem?
G. For each of Assignments 2-5, please answer.
1. How much time did you spend on the assignment (include design time)?
2. How was that time spread across the 2/3 weeks?
3. Which parts of the assignment did you design? (If there were things you
did jointly, please list that and indicate that you did it in
conjunction with your partner.)
4. Which parts of the assignment did you implement? (Again, indicate if
there were parts that you and your partner did together.)
5. Did you and your partner debug mostly together or mostly separately?
6. Were you satisfied with what you submitted?
7. How many late days did you take?
H. Finally, rate the assignments 2-5 in order of most fun to least fun.
Thank you very much! Happy reading period.

Hi, cs161-ers!
I am trying to design a T-shirt for the class. The idea is to have a
winding road representing your difficult journey through cs161. Along the
road there will be road signs with philosophical (or not so philosophical)
quotes characterizing your cs161 experience. Some, suggester by Margo,
are:
To P() or not to P()
I code, therefore I am
That which does not kill me makes me stronger
If you have more ideas about funny quotes that you would like to go on the
T-shirt (your favorite panic messages, CVS- or the too-much-milk-related jokes)
please send them to me by tomorrow evening.
