CPSC 121: Models of Computation

Your clicker marks are on Connect. Each section has a separate column. The marks for section 101 are out of 95 and the marks for section 102 are out of 92. As we discussed it in the class, I will ignore 20% of the clicker grade for everyone., Therefore, the actual  maximum will be 80% of what is shown on Connect. That is, for section 101 the max is 76, and for section 102 the max is 74.

Please check your marks and let me know if you see any problems.

I have posted additional practice questions on the Practice Material page (at the bottom).  Some of the questions are much harder than typical final exam questions, but are good for practice.

Assignment 5 solutions are on Piazza.

Thank you all very much for your good wishes. You are my best students....

I have a severe family medical emergency and I cannot deliver the lecture tomorrow. Please read the slides on Sets and Functions by yourselves. These slides will not be included in the final exam. On Thursday we will go over the DFA slides which I'll post shortly. I really apologize for missing tomorrows lecture. 

A significant number of students have missed a lecture or more for medical or other serious reasons and I need to exempt them from the clicker marks on these days.  The system that records these marks is a little inflexible and I cannot record the exemption directly in the database. For that reason it makes difficult for me to go over all the notes I have and adjust the marks at the end. 

Therefore, I have decided to take a different approach with the clicker marks. Instead of processing all these individual exemptions, I will ignore 20% of the clicker marks for EVERYONE.  That means, students who have at least 80% of the maximum clicker score will get 100% for the clicker questions.  I believe this will cover all the students who have been granted exemptions. 

I have posted the notes on Sets and Functions which we'll use on Tuesday. Each set of these notes contains two parts. Part 1 is a summary of the sections you read from the text. Please go over  part 1 of both sets before Tuesday's lecture. We'll discuss part 2 from both sets on Tuesday.
