End of Semester Notices for CS 141: FALL 2006 semester
Congratulations on completing this semester!
Practical Unix: Book signing
I am the author of the CS 141 text book: Practical UNIX. If you have purchased
this book, I would be glad to sign it for you. You would have something
to show that you took a class from the book's author and I would have one
less book being sold second hand.
Class on Tuesday, Dec 12th is optional
There will be no lecture on Tuesday, Dec 12th and attendance
will not be taken. I will be here in the classroom at 7 PM and
you are welcome to drop by, esp. if you want help on the last
homework assignment or quiz 2. If anyone missed the Final
Exam, you may come to this optional class on Dec 12 to take a
make-up exam but there will be a 4% penalty (unless you requested
this exam date by the deadline). I will stay until 9 PM. I will
only stay
later if students in the classroom at 9 PM need more
time.
When will the Final Exams be graded?
Your Final Exam should be graded
within about 2 weeks after the in-class final exam.
The first line of the notices in your class web site will tell you if
Final grades have been posted yet or not.
How to find out your course grade
After I manually grade all the Final
Exams,
I will post the following on the class web site:
- your Final Exam score showing your score for each question
- all Final Exam questions, your answers and the correct answers
- your course grade and rank
The college does not mail out grades.
The college does have automated ways to check your grades, which you can
review in the class schedule/catalog.
When will your class logins expire?
Your login/password will allow you to access the class web site for at least
6 months after the end of the semester, which should give you plenty of time
to check your grade for this class.
Your telnet login will expire about 2 weeks after the end of the
semester and all your files will be deleted.
Future classes to consider taking from me
in the Spring 2007 semester

Request for feed-back
I hope you have found this class to be both useful and enjoyable.
I understand that some of you did not have the time to put into the
class that you had hoped. I also understand that everyone learns in
different ways. I would be curious to hear some feedback from you:
- What aspects of this class were enjoyable and/or worked well for you
(and why)?
- What aspects were not enjoyable and/or did not work for you (and why)?
- What changes in the class or class work would have been
better for you?
My email address is:
and I would enjoy hearing from you. Please don't worry about hurting my
feelings as some of the best improvements in the class have resulted
from complaints that students have shared with me. Your comments will
not affect your grade.
