Stats for the final exam: Average=104/150, Standard Deviation=21.
Approximate grades: 122/150&up=A, 108/150&up=B, 97/150&up=C, 81/150&up=D.

We will not be returning the final exams, but you may look over your graded exam
Monday May 20th from 1-3pm or Tuesday May 21st from 1-3pm, in Professor Cutler's office, MRC 331A.
Or you may make an appointment with Professor Cutler this summer or early next semester.

Have a wonderful summer!

If 75% of the class completes their course evaluation for Data Structures by Thursday May 2nd @ noon, the normal deadline for Homework 10 will be extended to Saturday May 4th @ 11:59pm (and those of you with at least 2 days remaining will have until Monday May 6th @ 11:59pm).

Encourage your classmates to complete their course evaluations. Response rate as of Apr 30th @ 1pm = 40%.

Stats for the exam: Max=96, Average=69.1 (8-9:50am average 70.7, 10-11:50am average 68.0), Standard Deviation=14.9. Approximate grades: 80&up=A, 69&up=B, 57&up=C, 50&up=D. Your semester average will be computed from the curved number score, not the approximate letter grade. These are approximate boundaries and, thus, there is still very little difference between an 79 and a 80 (so don't ask for a questionable regrade for 1 point).

See the test solutions posted on the calendar. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 days. Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down.
 

• 8-9:50am: all students who prefer to take the test in the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and all students whose RIN number is odd (ends in the digit '1', '3', '5', '7', or '9') and do not have a conflict.

• 10-11:50am: all students who have a course conflict in the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and students whose RIN number is even that prefer the 10am time slot.

Please attend the section assigned above so we do not have an over-crowding problem.

Students in the early exam will not be allowed to leave early.

Students in the later exam will not be allowed to arrive late. All students taking the 10am exam should arrive by 9:55am and wait quietly in the lobby.
 

Stats for the exam: Max=95, Average=66.4 (8-9:50am average 66.9, 10-11:50am average 65.8), Standard Deviation=18.1. Approximate grades: 80&up=A, 66&up=B, 50&up=C, 45&up=D. Your semester average will be computed from the curved number score, not the approximate letter grade. These are approximate boundaries and, thus, there is still very little difference between an 79 and a 80 (so don't ask for a questionable regrade for 1 point).

See the test solutions posted on the calendar. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 days. Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down.
 

• 8-9:50am: all students who indicated a preference for the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and students whose last name begins with the letters M-Z that do not have a conflict.

• 10-11:50am: all students who have a course conflict in the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and students whose last name begins with the letters A-L who indicated a preference for the 10-11:50 time slot.

Please attend the section assigned above so we do not have an over-crowding problem.

Students in the early exam will not be allowed to leave early.

Students in the later exam will not be allowed to arrive late. All students taking the 10am exam should arrive by 9:55am and wait quietly in the lobby.
 

• The text of the pdf now includes a paragraph on the fancy output characters for the playing cards suits,
• The main.cpp file now includes more complete and picky validation tests for the sorting order,
• The variable names & comments in some of the tests in main.cpp have been updated for clarity,
• The testing of the randomization (for extra credit!) is now more complete, and
• Some minor typos have been corrected (both in the .pdf and in the code).

TLA Workshop
Data Structures - C++ - Improving your C++ Skills by Example
Thursday 2/21/2013, from 6 pm to 8 pm in DCC 324

Struggling in Data Structures this semester?

C++ is not your favorite language?

This 2-hour workshop focuses on C++ fundamentals and best practices,
plus arrays, pointers, references, and object-oriented programming
(classes, objects, constructors, member functions, etc.).

BRING your laptop so you can follow along -- make sure your laptop is
fully charged and can last 2 hours!

Approx. breakdown of workshop:

15 minutes -- fundamentals
-- C++ coding standards, indentation, naming
-- compile frequently
-- cmd-line args in Visual Studio
-- debugger?
-- two follow-along examples

15 minutes -- arrays
-- one or two follow-along examples

20 minutes -- pointers/references
-- two follow-along examples

~60 min -- object-oriented (classes, objects, inheritance, ...)
-- two follow-along examples?

Stats for the exam: Max=100, Average=79.6 (8-9:50am average 80.4, 10-11:50am average 78.8), Standard Deviation=13.1. Approximate grades: 90&up=A, 80&up=B, 66&up=C, 55&up=D. Your semester average will be computed from the curved number score, not the approximate letter grade. These are approximate boundaries and, thus, there is still very little difference between an 89 and a 90 (so don't ask for a questionable regrade for 1 point).

See the test solutions posted on the calendar. All re-grade requests must be submitted within 7 days. Your entire test will be examined and your score may go up or down.
 

• 8-9:50am: all students who indicated a preference for the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and students whose last name begins with the letters A-L that do not have a conflict.

• 10-11:50am: all students who have a course conflict in the 8-9:50am time slot.
  and students whose last name begins with the letters M-Z who indicated a preference for the 10-11:50 time slot.

Please attend the section assigned above so we do not have an over-crowding problem.

Students in the early exam will not be allowed to leave early.

Students in the later exam will not be allowed to arrive late. All students taking the 10am exam should arrive by 9:55am and wait quietly in the lobby.
