Notices

    Final Exam and Final course grades are now posted here

  • 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. 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

  • Your web 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. Note that sometimes the college takes down its network for maintenance between semesters so the class web site may be down.

  • Your telnet login will expire about 2 weeks after the end of the semester and all your files will be deleted.

  • I hope that 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 like to hear any 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?
    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.

  • In the fall 2008 semester, please consider taking the advanced UNIX class CS 198 on Thursday nights which combines CS 241 (shell scripts) and CS 242 (system administration). There will be several CS 198 classes so please sign up for the correct one. Please register early as classes can be canceled, even before the first class meeting, if not enough students sign up.

  • As the author of the CS 141 text book: Practical UNIX, I would be glad to autograph your book. 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.
