We will be handling the computers and programming problems slightly differently this term. Instead of one problem per lecture, you will be receiving one problem per week that is designed to cover all the lectures in the week. The problem is designed to take one hour for every hour of lecture (for example, this week's problem covers lectures 2-4, and therefore should take about 3 hours). It will be graded proprtionally as well - this week's problem will be out of 30 points, if there were only two lectures covered, the problem should take 2 hours and would be out of 20 points. There are a couple of reasons why we are operating in this manner this term. Last term, there were some computers problems that took more time than they should have, and some that took less time. It tended to be the problems that were code-heavy took a lot more time. By grouping them all together, we feel that you will be better able to manage your time in line with the time we are expecting you to spend on the problems. Also, we did not think it was fair to give equal grades to problems where one may have taken you 2 hours, and one may have taken only 30 minutes. By grouping them all together, we can give the proper weighting to each part of the problem. Also, the electronic submission guidelines are on the web (http://web.mit.edu/16.unified/www/) - please follow them or else it will be difficult to grade your problems. Finally, remember that the earlier you start the CP problems the better, as debugging can sometimes take a lot of time. I'll be available to help during most office hours, and our undergrad TA's who speciallize in programming (and therefore can help you debug) will be here during Sunday office hours. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need help. If you have any questions on this process, please feel free to ask me or Carl. -Howie From srhall at MIT.EDU Tue Mar 16 17:18:17 2004 From: srhall at MIT.EDU (Steven R.

Steven Hall From spearing at MIT.EDU Thu Mar 18 14:58:28 2004 From: spearing at MIT.EDU (Mark Spearing) Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 14:58:28 -0500 Subject: [Unified-mailman] Quiz Feedback Message-ID: Dear Unified students As you know we have graded your quiz and the graded quizzes are available for you to collect. Overall the quiz was done well. Most of the class seem to have a reasonable grasp of the basic concepts and could apply them to general problems in the topics covered. There were some difficulties encountered with the most concept-orientated questions, but this was intended in the design of the quiz (A's should be earned!). Please take the time to reflect on the quiz and your performance. I will be available to discuss it with you if you so desire after Spring Break. Have a great Spring Break, you have earned it. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with you in Unified. Best wishes for the rest of the class, and for your careers beyond Unified. Mark Spearing
