If you have a problem with my teaching style, tell me. Am I talking too fast? Too slow? Am I hard to understand? Please tell me. Raise your hand and tell me to speak louder or slower. Or if you prefer, send me an email so I can improve in the future. I am always open to constructive criticism. Posting "I hope its not Blake teaching the review" on the soapbox doesn't help me or you. -Student1680


...I think I'm going to fail this midterm tomorrow! Yay! I should probably keep with the theme here and make a comment concerning how Chuck Norris would do something violent to the midterm or come in with a loaded gun and shoot the projector but my creativity's killed itself. >_>

Ok, so i am really lost about JES. Is it a worm or a snake? Its a mixture of Python(Snake) and Java(Coffee and or small island), so obviously it cant be a snake because snake =! snake + coffee. So it must be a worm. No matter what it is it haunts me in the middle of the night sometimes...
It's a Python which is a snake. The language we are using is Python. Jython is an implementation of Python. This debunks your Snake + Coffee argument.

Exam Day :)
Contrary to popular belief, Chuck Norris single-handedly ended World War II when he roundhouse kicked Hitler and Hirohito in the face and told them to cut the crap.

"There are three kinds of people in the world; people who can count and people who can't."

"If you ask Chuck Norris what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds 'til." After you ask, "Two seconds 'til what?" he roundhouse kicks you in the face."
YA RLY!

By using Chuck Norris's name in the midterm, we have officially exorcised him from the speech bubble. Please: No more Chuck Norris for the rest of the semester! Colin Potts
...we'll stop talking about Chuck Norris...for a pound! lol j/k
(lemon curry?)

So now that Chuck's out of the question, how about a random flamewar? That's a pretty interesting occurence.

Vin Diesel once ate the entire cake at a bachelor party before anyone could tell him there was a stripper in it.

Vin Diesel sucks and everyone knows it. The Rock is clearly better than him. And sexier.

FIX the HMWK2 Questions page!

If you can see Vin Diesel, Vin Diesel can see you. But if you can't see Vin Diesel, you are only seconds away from death.


Student3672 thinks that Homework 2 may indeed be the most collaborated assignment EVER!
Oh, and THANKS to Colin Potts for banishing Chuck Norris, he's aggravating.

i am so happy it finally worked, now i don't have to rip my hair out

Any interest in taking CS1316? Any interest in touring Europe? How about combining them?!? CS1316 will be offered in the Oxford Study Abroad program in Summer 2006, and there are still a few slots left. Come on in and learn to the techniques behind animated films like The Incredibles in Java!
wow! no one has changed the bubble... crazy

I can d/l debugging ppt, but I can't open it!

I really think that professors conspire with one another and agree that all the long and lengthy assignments should be given in the same week...
Yeah, or they all get together and make sure that you have 5 tests/papers/presentations in one week... its grand. Student3381
You do know that Homework 3 is due NEXT MONDAY, not on Friday? (There goes another conspiracy theory!) Colin Potts

can we dress up our ta's in dayglow pink??? that way we can find them and they won't need orange signs ;) Student3608 & Student3735
No. -Student1680
why not Student1680? you could still wear the tinfoil hat – dayglow pink matches everything! : )
The TAs are going to have either neon pink or neon green signs. No orange signs. Sorry. -Student2081


If anyone actually understands the HW, where did you learn to do it? Cause it definitely wasn't in class.
AMEN!
Its kinda silly for the homework to require something that isnt in the book or lecture (mod)
tgif
Please post questions if you have them to the appropriate page and come to class rather than relying only on posted slides. I covered the use of mod in lecture this week, and it was also covered in recitation. Mod (a.k.a. 'remainder') should be familiar from elementary school division. Colin Potts

Java Environment - the ultimate bottleneckTM


This homework is ridiculous...

Go visit the TAs - they are really nice and helpful! :)

Side Note: Why is the homework retarded hard but the labs are too easy to believe? That is backwards.

... It's Friday. If you are having trouble validating your webpage come to the 1st floor of the library this afternoon (2 PM) and a TA (Student2081) will help ....
p.s. Liz's office ours are un-cancelled. This means I will be at the library from 2-3. Re-cancelled again, I have to see my academic advisor, but will be in the library after that pointless appointment. So I will not be in the library from 2-3. SORRY. re-uncancelled. am here. Student3381

why does everyone complain about this class all the time – its not like we have to take 4 math classes and 2 physics classes...i think you can deal with this
You DO realize that complaining about them is just as bad, right? It's not like they're actually affecting what you're doing. You can handle it.My office hours have permanently changed. Please check the TA contact info page to find out when they are.-Student2042

man, so who has the best prism page?
I do. -Student1680
actually, that was kinda boring...and it doesn't meet the requirements. You fail.

Spring is coming or maybe spring is here :)

Spring is here but only until the weekend.

FYI, I believe March 20th is the first day of Spring–So GaTECH is actually kind-of right for once...U[sic]GA should call theirs the week before Spring Break ...March 20th is also my bday...oh yea, be excited.


Where are people going for spring break?


Python introduced their newly designed website yesterday! http://www.python.org
yay!

Homework 4 looks nicer than its hated sibling, Homework 3.
or... its all starting to sink in and make sense... which is a good sign :)

...


how many days til spring break???
import time
def spring_break():
last_class_ends_at = 3 #change this accordingly
end = time.mktime((2006, 3, 17, 12 + last_class_ends_at, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))

seconds = int(1000 * (countdown % 60)) / 1000.0
minutes = int(countdown / 60)
hours = minutes / 60
minutes = minutes % 60
days = hours / 24
hours = hours % 24
print days,'day' + (days <> 1) * 's'
print hours, 'hour' + (days <> 1) * 's'
print minutes, 'minute' + (days <> 1) * 's'
print seconds, 'second' + (days <> 1) * 's'

-Student1680

What does this mean? (days <> 1)

I strongly hate anyone who tries this on their computer for fun.
I ran it :) to see if it worked. of course it did blake o made it. -Student2081
i ran it too haha Student3381
TAs have too much time on their hands...
Make it bigger! 3
(days <> 1) means if it is NOT 1 day, then add an 's' to the end of day so the answer looks like this: 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc. depending on the answer.

Here we have the confluence of two separate people those who don't want to learn and those who don't want to teach.
Is this one of those "There are two types of people in the world... (Those who think there are two kinds of people, and those that don't)" kinds of observations?

I don't know about that, but I do know there are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary, and those that do not.

FAB is silly the greatest fe group ever!
Yes it is.

Please change me... :(

I can't go to the review session - does anyone want to help by taking notes & send them to me?

Will there be any yoko ono-on-one review for the test at Jazzman's like there was for the 1st exam?
I can't do it this week...i have way too much due of my own this week. Watch the announcements page tonight and tomorrow to see if another TA can have them. Student1919

Raise your hand if the test tomorrow kinda makes you feel happy
What test?
What chapters in the book are covered on this test?
Chapters 1-5, 9-11.1, 12 Colin Potts
Remember to bring your buzz cards tomorrow -Student2081
Great job tonight at the review TA's. Thumbs Up!

in other news, i quit playing WOW today, I am a sad little boy =(

Midterm 2 made baby JES cry.
don't worry, it'll be okay....until the grades come back. Then baby JES will cry again.

only a few more days :)

It would be nice to move the HW assignment to the monday after spring break. Its not like the TA's or going to grade it over the break and most of us have enough other projects tests this week. something to think about :)
I agree, since we had the midterm this week, it would make sense that the homework moved so that we could actually have an adequate amount of time to do the homework correctly. It really doesn't make any sense that we have homework on the week of a midterm. Come on all you TAs out there... Have a heart...
Yeah, pleeeeeaaaaaase! After all, you aren't grading our tests until 2 weeks from now! I think we too deserve a bit of a break.
Error: this should not happenError: this should not happenDefinitely! I'm sure everyone will appreciate that because extending the deadline after a hard midterm would ensure that we actually understand the assignment! Can any of the TA's or anybody post a poll to see how many students are in favor of extending the deadline ?????this is a great idea considering it doesn't change anything for the TA's so why shouldn't it be due the monday after spring break.

is the homework really that hard? i've already finished — 'You're not helping'

can someone wite a program that takes in a homework assignment and returns a completed assingment?
No. -
Blake O'Hare: 

Note: Unless postponed, I will be grading homework 4's the first weekend of spring break. -Blake O'Hare

Ah, I was thinking more of a function that takes in the string and takes the first letter of every word in that string..in terms of things we know like for loops or what not.
Oh, ok.
def abbreviate(somestring):
  output = ''
  for word in somestring.split():
    output = output + word[0]
  return output

-Student1680

that bubble was entirely too long, but i definitely agree with the extension idea.
Hi, you have known about HW 4 since March 7th, it might have even been posted before then. SoOo, lets do it and stop complaining. TAs have office hours if you are really confused about something. The end. :) Student3381
That seems like less time than there was for the other HWs...only 10 days. The others were at least two weeks I think.
Plus this is being done while studying for a somewhat unrelated midterm(or midterms) right before spring break. I'm pretty sure it could be extended a little.

I agree...and the first round of March Madness is much more important than school.

Phew! That bubble was getting too wordy! :)

The homework is really not that bad!
it is when you have 5 test in a week and hardly anytime to do it.
Yea, and my flight leaves before the Homework is due and . . . oh wait, you guys don't care
MARCH MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me so let's just do what we need to do and I'll get back to killing you with beer.

Please don't ask the TAs for an extension on the homework or blame them when they say no. The bad guys are Frank and me. We set the homework for Friday because Spring Break is a break, not a time to catch up on work. Students generally complain even louder if an assignment is due immediately after Spring Break - quite rightly, in my opinion. So, get it done now and then take it easy. Colin Potts

Need help with HW4? I will be in the library with Liz starting at 2 -Student2081
-is that better sizewise? sad how I kill html but I'm going to fail based on my sad coding skilz
merry spring break


Alright, I have a complaint: my TA is incredibly behind on giving back grades. Sure she/he is a student as well, but since she/he did agree to be a TA (and is getting paid I might add), she/he has an obligation to this class and to HER/HIS RECITATION CLASS. That's right, she/he has an obligation to have grades promptly so that we can see how we are doing. I mean come on, we don't even have our HW3 grade back...

That's the problem with TAs. Until enough students can pester the TA or the professor long enough to get something done about it, you won't be getting your grades back any sooner.

Its friday

Homework 4 has renewed my faith in my ability to program after the flaming horror that was HW3. ::sniffle::
see, it wasnt that bad :)

_
Can we get HMWK5 to do over the break? Or the next lab? Or something so I can feel productive (before I fall behind again).
YOU RETARD! WTF is wrong with you?!? Spring break is a break....FROM WORK!!!! Don't you know what happens when people start asking for stuff to do over the break? Professors start assigning stuff. And unless you plan on doing my work for me, don't ever mention this kind of crap again. EVER.

...

So... any chance we could have a link to HW5 or the next lab early?
No. Please go pick up a copy of Oblivion. Its the most productive thing to do over spring break.
Why do so many people want work to do over spring break? Enjoy the free time while you can; you don't get a lot of free time at Tech.

i wonder how many people looked at the coweb over break....
86. -Student1680

i dont wanna go back!!!


Im bored...


So, do we have class today? I noticed on the syllabus that the only agenda for today is to "Do Homework 5"... are we going to work on that in class or is class cancelled?
There is class today -Student2081

FREE Lasagna at the Baptist Student Union tonight at 6:30. Awesome band playing afterward with Chris Reis speaking too. Everyone is invited.

So maybe spring is here to stay this time....

Yeah, that would be nice.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it is. ^_^

You would say that.

Billy, your computer sucks!
My computer does not suck.

I think I am going to purchase a hammer, close my laptop, smash it to bits and then chuck the remains out of the one of the windows on the fourth floor of Fitten Hall.

...ignoring the fact that nowhere in the entire building do any of the windows open, of course, because that's obviously a rather large hindrance in this endeavour.


on webwork the view grades is gone on my account, does anyone know how to solve this? and were we supposed to get the test grades back by this past friday?

I second that...
Check back Monday evening -Student2081

TODAY!!!
MISSION MAASAI BENEFIT CONCERT
Monday, April 10th
FERST CENTER at 7PM for FREE FOOD and 8pm for THE CONCERT

Please come enjoy the concert!! All donations go to the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania who are suffering right now from the worst drought they have had in 50 years.

how does free food help raise money? what kind of free food?

Chick-fil-a is donating the food, and people will donate money to the Maasai

Quiz tomorrow
& Blake I's Bday!

I don't think the prequiz questions are being answered sufficiently.

I agree, and due to that fact I would like to request the quiz be moved to Thursday.
I second that...
I third that...
I fourth that...anyone else? I know ya'll are out there...
Yes yes I fifth that, but you know its not going to work :(

If you put your question up before the night before the quiz, perhaps the questions can get answered. TA's also are busy with school work. We are not robots! - Then I propose that we switch robots for the TAs

when you said take the final on monday instead... you meant monday before the friday of the final... right?
you can take the final the monday of finals week or the friday of finals week
and if we THINK we want to take it on Monday and tell you that we do (because we may or may not have finals in our other classes), can we change our mind back to Friday later, after the 20th?
Before you sign up to take the final make sure you check when your other finals are. You can do that here -Student2081
What time was it that we can take it on Monday?

If you questions about taking the final May 1st (Monday) instead of May 5th (Friday) please look at this page Finals Information and follow the instructions. -Student2081

Thanks for the help Larry.

Wish we get upto 20+ points worth extra credit options on HW6. Why? 'cause Chuck Norris said so...do it & DO IT NOW::::fffshhh–the sound of his flying kick travelling at twice the speed of sound, so you can't even hear it::::

darn, someone beat me to it! i was so gonna bust out chuck norris!

POP! Chuck Norris just popped your bubble...with his brain!

What day was this day when I wasn't at my office hours? -Student2042


Brokeback Mountain isn't just the name of a movie, it is also the name of the pile of dead ninjas in Chuck Norris' front yard!

Seriously. He's Dead. Please. Its just not funny anymore.
Chuck Norris is always funny. The day he is not funny to you is the day you get roundhouse kicked by him. Now Shut Up.

I'm so glad we're finally working with Excel and Powerpoint instead of just JES. Just so everybody knows.

HOLY ANNOUNCEMENTS PAGE, BATMAN!
Will any TAs be available for HW6 help before 2:00 today?

Want to watch cute lil doggie robots play soccer? The US Robocup Soccer tournament is this weekend, over at TSRB. http://www.robocup-us.org/ Come see! All are welcome!

Is the final exam cumulative?

Why does my HW 6 work sometimes and not others when I don't change any of the code? WTF mate?!

Pop quiz!...hotshot!
because of the most important law in the universe- Murphy's Law!


Is there going to be a review session before the final if we are going to take it on Monday?
And is the final cumulative?
There'll be a review session on Sunday (for Section B) and Thursday (for Section A). Details will be posted soon. The final is cumulative. -Student3573
p.s. look at the announcements page
Will there be a final review on the CoWeb like there was for the midterms?
Yes. -Student1680

Can we have another HW?
Yes, something along the lines of "write a program that will return the phrase 'This is the last hw'...you must use just ONE function"

Are all of the lecture slides that we've gone over in class after Midterm 2 posted? I don't think they are... so do you know if they will be posted? Thanks!

Which slides are not posted? -Student2081

I was wondering when our pop-quiz 4, hw 6, and lab 5 where going to be graded so we can calculate our grades?
All grades should be posted by Wednesday (i'm saying midnight, but not 100% sure on that one...) Student1919


Is the professor stil going to count the best five out of seven pop-quizzes like he said earlier in the year? I sure hope so...



Why does coweb seem to indicate that there are six pop quizzes when webwork nows says there are 6? Also, If I am not mistaken, giving quizzes (even if they are pop quizzes) would violate dead week policies....
The professors mentioned at one point that they were going to take the best 5 quizzes out of 7. -Student2081

Can someone please clarify what the regular Final exam time is on May 5th & where it'll be? Also, can we take the final on May 5th, irrespective of what class section we're in? Thanks :)
The Final for section A is at 11:30 May 5th. If you are in section B, you must take the final Monday May 1st. -Student2081

Any final review yet?
"Review session 1: Sunday April 30th 7PM in Howey Physics Lecture Hall Number 4
Review Session 2: May 4th 7PM in Howey Physics Lecture Hall Number 4 -Albert d'Heurle"

Thanks Albert, but is section B the Tues/Thr 3-4:30PM class? I have another exam on Monday (2:50 onwards) and I'd rather take the CS final with a clear mind on Friday. If section B is from 3-4:30, is there any way I can take the final on Friday instead of Monday? Tx
Correct, section B is from 3- 4:30. If you are in section B, you must take the final Monday May 1st at 11:30 -Student2081

Out of curiosity, are grades done by rounding up (i.e. 89.5 = 90)?

Why do the TA's hate us? Why won't they release the Review? We we're told Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday at the latest! Dirty LIARS!

The TAs aren't dirty liars, it's dead week and they have just as much (probably more) work to do than us. Also, one or more of them has probably helped save your grade on a lab or HW some time this semester, so cut them a break! Take a deep breath, do some yoga and chill out, study the book or slides while you wait...or just refresh the page every five seconds until it appears...

Hmm... why does it feel like it was a TA that wrote that?

this is the whiniest group of college students ive ever seen.


Did you know that goldfish remember things better in cold water than in warm water?

If you divide your height by eight that is how tall your head is

today is our last lecture – i'm gonna miss colin's jokes : )
did anyone see what happened to the ya rly owl from the soapbox
"To get a D, you need to make at least a -1.55 on the final."

wow... someone is showing off
And it's not even very impressive. How about skipping the test and still almost getting a B? :P
oops I'm sorry now its

"To get a D, you need to make at least a -37.33 on the final."

when was pop quiz 6 given? ya ya, and pop quiz 7??
I want my popquiz 7... cry!


Where can i find the final exam review??

I was wondering when our hw 6 is going to be graded so we can calculate our grades?
Any day now. -Student2081
wow... good answer

Will there be any final review assignment, like the ones before midterms? Thanks!
Check the Announcements page. -Student2081

I was wondering when our hw 6 is going to be graded so we can calculate our grades?
If you are my student, I am really sorry. I suck at life, and graded all the hws, had them all in an excel spreadsheet, and was going to post them after i ate dinner on wed. But my comp died while I was gone and of course the file wasn't saved, so I have to regrade them all. I had a test this morning that I was studying for all yesterday and last night, so after my classes and office hours (and maybe a little power nap, I'm not gonna lie) I will have them all finished for you guys. I appreciate your understanding and patience :D Student3381

are tas still holding office hours this week?

please Blake I, please put up our grades. I need to know! you're making me very sad

Congrats to Gerris Wilkinson! Drafted in the 3rd round by the New York Giants!


Ugh, NASCAR rained out. Postponed till 12 tomorrow.

This clearly conflicts with the Final, hmmmmm.

are tas still holding office hours this week?

I don't think they will because of finals but I'll have extra office hours tomorrow morning. Check the announcements. - Student3573

I will have the retake tests with me at the beginning of the review session tonight. -Student2081

When will all of our grades (besides the final) be posted? I'd be nice to know what i'm working with going into tomorrow.
Please email me the name of your ta and I will try to take care of it. Thanks. -Student2081
Are the Professors still planning to count only 5 of the 7 pop quizzes...that would be nice to know too



dear "AB": please when grading tests actually show us what we did wrong. a -15 doesn't really help me learn. thanks.
if you come back and read this reply...here's my answer. Ask your TA what you did wrong. Ask me what went wrong. If we wrote everything that was wrong on everyone's exam, it'd take much longer to grade. None of the TAs mind answering questions that you have on material. Just ask. We really aren't mean, evil people out to destroy your grade. I promise! Student1919

Blake, i was wondering when hw 6 would be graded?

Ahh, but this review session is making me freak out. I have that impending doom feeling right now...

Remember to bring your buzzcards tomorrow. You will not need a calculator. -Student2081

where is the final tomorrow?
If I am not mistaken:: If you are in section B your exam is in room 16 of the CoC (the same room where class is) If you are in section A and taking it early, your exam is in the IC room 105. If you are unsure of which section you are in: check OSCAR. Student3381

Will the grade from our final be posted on WebWork? And is it possible if I have an 89.3 to get an A?
After you take the exam, and after they are graded, yes your grade will be posted. And you can figure out your what you need to get on the final if you use the previous codes Blake & Charlie posted to the bubble. Student3381

How long is the final?
Does it matter? Just get ready to take it...

Good Test. Thanks for the coffee Professor Potts!

Any idea when the final will be graded and posted?


will TA's have office hours this week?

Good luck to those taking it on Friday! And thanks for the awesome final, Professors!

Any idea when the final will be graded and posted?
Your final grade will be aviable when oscar releases all grades for all of your classes. You might check webwork Saturday to see your grade on the final although i can not promise anything. -Student2081


What are we going to do when this class finishes and theres no more gay sayings about Chuck Norris... that will be a sad sad day.
I too will be sad when the bubble stops changing... :'-( -Albert

Blake, i was wondering when hw 6 would be graded?

Plausible- Seemingly or apparently valid, likely, or acceptable; credible: a plausible excuse. (sounds true to me)

MOCK OFFICE HOURS!!! I will be having some makeshift office hours on THURSDAY NIGHT for the FINAL ON FRIDAY. I apologize for not having some for the first final, but I had 2 finals that day so I couldn't spare any time. Tentative time to start will be AFTER THE REVIEW SESSION. The place will be the same place as the review. Please come with questions to be answered. I won't be going over the review problem for problem. This is totally a Q&A session. -Student2042

I noticed that webwork doesn't display the average of the 5 highest pop quizzes (Section B). Will this be fixed soon or is it already being computed into our final grade(s)?
Yes. Webwork is going to show scores for all the quizzes. Only the best 5 will be factored into your grade -Student2081

The final is cumulative, but does it have a heavier weighting toward the material after midterm2?

Webwork isn't showing my top 5/7 quizzes either!!! When will this be fixed as this is making the difference between an entire letter grade for me (i.e. 79.567 instead of 80.061)? Thanks :)

When you calculate your grade, just take the top 5. I don't think anyone has time to update it right now. - Student3573

The Friday final will be given in the normal lecture hall, right?
Yes (CoC 16) - Student3573

Have a great summer. Scores will be posted soon. Albert

Remember to bring your buzzcards tomorrow. Good luck on the test -Albert
