600.120 Intermediate Programming
Spring 2010

• The final review session will be Sunday, 5/9, 7pm in Shaffer 303 (not our regular classroom). The final is scheduled for Tuesday, 5/11, 9am, and will be held in Shaffer 301 - our regular classroom.
• Here is last year's midterm to help you to prepare for yours: midterm.txt. HOWEVER, since the course differs from year to year you should expect a different emphasis, different questions, different types of questions, etc. Do not focus all your preparation on this and then complain that your midterm was different.
• REMINDER: your midterm is Thursday, 3/11, in class - bring your Jcard! The labs on 3/4 and 3/5 will serve as review sessions. Please be sure to attend! The test will focus on C concepts and coding primarily. There may be a few questions on unix tools. Expect to write and trace code fragments.
• Everyone should have access to the CS Linux system and CS ugrad lab (NEB 225) for this course. If you do not have access to them already, get a class account form from Joanne, then take it to Steve in NEB 226, with your J-card, to get set up. Check the door for his office hours.
