I have a question...how come test grades from the afternoon class were so much higher?? Not only by a few points, but by about 30 points according to people I have talked to from both classes. If the answer is because those of us in the morning class are a bunch of idiots, I am willing to accept that.
It was certainly NOT a 30 point difference! There are 200 people in each section. Think about what a representative sample of 200 people is–did you talk to that many? Mark Guzdial
Yes there was a difference between the two sections. It was much less than 30 points. It turned out that there was a question on the B section test that was easier than the equivalent question on the A section test. Section A is definatly not a bunch of idiots. Kelly Lyons

I must admit that text does not quite make sense to me but we'll see how it goes. I think that it is confusing jsut because we need to use so many characters and letters to define functions.
Take Home Exam #1 was (hopefully) awesome. I had major problems with HW #2 but the exam made a bunch of sense.

Issues on CS1316


I had this question come in via email:
I'm thinking about taking CS1315 in the Spring. It's my understanding that
CS1315 is going the change next semester to meet the prerequisite for CS1322.

Will the new CS1315 use the current book? Will the class still use JES?


Here was my reply:

Wow – that is quite the rumor! Do you know where you heard that one? I'd like to head that off at the pass!

No, there are no plans to change CS1315 at all! We will be using a new book, but only because we're finally getting a nationally-published version (from Prentice-Hall) rather than having a custom book produced. Yes, we'll still use JES.

What starts next semester is CS1316 – the new SECOND course. CS1316 has CS1315 as its pre-req, and it meets the pre-req for CS1322.

Seriously – if there's an advisor who's misinforming students, I'd like to know and address it.

If you hear this rumor, too, please set people straight. CS1315 isn't changing, but CS1316 is coming. Mark Guzdial

When is the final for this class?
Friday at 2:50 Doesn't that just stink.... Well you've got all kinds of time to study I suppose. And remember, your lovely TAs have to grade it afterwards. Look her for a schedule of all finals http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/students/exams/2004/Fall/finals.php Kelly Lyons

Yeah I was wondering how you can view an actual picture as the code is affecting it. Like watch each pixel change etc.
Put repaint() inside the loop. But it will take a LOT longer to run... Mark Guzdial
