Newsgroup: There is a newsgroup cornell.class.cs381 established for this course. It is intended for discussing CS381 related topics, interesting problems (but NOT homework solutions), complaints, suggestions etc. You can learn more about newsgroups here.


Regrade Policy: Regrade requests should be put in writing and submitted to Reba, either in Upson 328 during her office hours, or in Upson 5142 anytime (slide under the door if no one is in). Deadlines for regrade requests will be 5pm one week after the assignment/prelim is first available for pick-up. While valid regrade requests are more than welcome, be warned that your score may decrease on submission of a frivolous request.
