| News for Fall 2013 |
12/17/13 - As a reminder, and at the request of
some anonymous poster on Piazza, those who might
forget despite several announcements in class, NO NOTE CARDS
WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE FINAL - ELG
12/16/13 - I will have an office hour Monday
Dec 16 at 10:30am - 11:30am, Andrei will have one at 11:30am -
12:30pm, Jicong will have one at 2:30pm - 3:30pm and Yodsawalai
will have one at 4:30pm. - ELG
12/3/13 - There will be an opportunity for
students to do a redo of problem 2 from Midterm 2 for those
wishing to try to improve their score on that problem. The redo
test will take place on Tuesday 10 December for the last twenty
minutes of class. There will be four different copies of the
test, each with just one problem, which, in each case, will be a
portion (typically one problem) from MP6 or MP7. The test will
take place in SC1404, our regular classroom. There will not be
assigned seating or every-other seating. No crib sheets or
other material will be allowed. Once the tests are
handed out, there will be no swapping of tests or seats allowed.
All tests handed out must be turned back in. When a student turns
in the retake, they may ask to have it ignored. If they request
to have it graded, it will replace their previous score (for
better or worse). To get credit for the problem, in addition to
giving code, you must place comments in you code indicating how
your code solves the problem. Your comments will count as part
of your answer and be graded, too. Comments indicating no
understanding of the given code will result in a 0 on the
problem. - ELG
10/18/13 - After having struggled through the
unrelenting tsunami in the bay of EWS, we now venture in waters
uncharted by cs421. I am giving up on using EWS for the
collection of assignments, and strongly advising all students to
install ocaml version 4.00.1 on their personal machines to avoid
needing to do any work on EWS. You can get binaries
from http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/release-prev.en.html.
So, now we enter the waters of svn. I don't expect smooth
sailing here either, particularly since we are not alone in
seeking safe passage here, but we can hope. For the rest of the
semester (or until svn breaks, which ever comes first), please
follow the instructions at the main mps wepage.
Without the aid of handin, you will have to be responsible
for placing the needed files in the appropriate places in
your assignments directory and remembering to do a commit on
them. Also, you will have the responsibility of making sure that
your mp solutions compile with the distributed grader. If
they do not, you will receive no credit for the assignment. - ELG
10/16/13 - I have reposted mp7grader.tar.gz to be compatible with OCaml 4.00.1 (it is not compatible with 4.01) - AS
10/15/13 - A revision
to mp6.pdf has been posted to correct
the error or a bad pull from mp6common.ml - ELG
9/24/13 - The office hour on 9/24/13, Tuesday from 13:00 - 14:00 is going to be held by Elsa Gunter in 2112 SC - AS
9/22/13 - I have reposted mp4grader.tar.gz to add the missing test for Problem 4. - AS
9/19/13 - I have reposted mp4.pdf and mp4grader.tar.gz to fix the issue with partial evaluation in Problem 3. - AS
9/18/13 - I have reposted mp4.pdf and mp4grader.tar.gz to fix the sample result and the grader for Problem 4. - AS
9/16/13 - Because of the ongoing flakiness of
the EWS Linux systems (actually its the file server) and the
fact that Engineering IT is unsure that they can bound how
long the problem will persist, I am granting a 24 hour
extension for each of HW3 and MP3. This will not effect the
handing times of the next round of assignments. We will have
to wait and see if the round of fixes IT plans for tonight
improves the situation. I will have to reassess if the
problems persist. - ELG
9/15/13 - I have reposted mp3grader.tar.gz to add one more test for problem 5 to check that your code is adquately polymorphic. - YC
9/14/13 - mp3grader.tar.gz has been reposted to fix a bug in a grader. - YC
9/11/13 - hw3 has
been posted a day late. I decided at the last minute to
simplify the problem and reduce the amount of writing
required. If anybody feels the loss of a day is a hardship,
they may voice there case to me, and I will consider
it. - ELG
9/11/13 - mp3grader.tar.gz has been reposted to fix mp3-skeleton.ml - YC
9/5/13 - mp2grader.tar.gz has been reposted to correct function declaration in mp2-skeleton.ml and add a test for extra credit problem. - YC
9/1/13 - I have
reposted mp1grader.tar.gz
to add two tests to check that your code is adquately
polymorphic. The full test suite will be an extension of this
one, and this one will be used for handin from here out. - ELG
9/1/13 - There will be no office hours held on
Monday, September 2, Labor Day. - ELG
9/1/13 - Jicong's office hour for Wednesday will be
permanently moved to 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm - JW
8/28/13 - I have
reposted HW1 to correct the due
date to Tuesday September 3, 2013. - ELG
8/27/13 - HW1 and
MP1 have both been posted and
are due in one week. In general, each Tuesday a new MP and a new
HW will be posted due the following week. They will not be
announced here unlees there is something unusual about them. - ELG
8/27/13 - Jicong's office hour for
tomorrow(8/28) will be temporarily moved to 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm - JW
8/27/13 - Welcome to CS421, Fall 2013. This
page will be the main bulletin board for the course, and hence is
always under construction. Please check it frequently. - ELG
