| Dec 11: | Final Project: Tetris is due. |
| Dec 06: | Optional Final, Hollister 110 @ 7pm |
| Dec 06: | Prelim II grading was delayed when I had to
pay an emergency visit to the eye doctor to check for a potential retinal
tear, and could not focus on anything closer than the horizon for the
entire day. On the one hand, I'm glad that
there is no tear (in case anyone is worried); on the other hand, I am really sorry that the prelim grading could not be completed before the final. The safe
strategy is to take the final -- it just cannot hurt. Remember also that the
final can also substitute in for Prelim I, so you should pretty much take
it if you got less than a 90 on prelim I. Finally, keep in mind that most
other courses would not make the final optional - you would just have to
take all exams. - egs |
