Apr 7, 2006 Gautam will hold the Midterm II review sessions on Saturday and Sunday from 3-4 pm in Soda 310. Please bring specific questions.
Apr 6, 2006 Midterm II will be held Tuesday, April 11th in class. It has not been pushed to Thursday, as previously announced in class.
Apr 6, 2006 WA9 has been posted. Completing it before Tuesday should help you study for Midterm II.
Apr 3, 2006 If you would like a review session for Midterm II, please reply to the thread in the newsgroup. Also, please mention a specific topic or concept that you would like to understand better before the midterm.
Mar 12, 2006 If you are having trouble with the homeworks, we encourage you to come to office hours. Typically, several students come with questions about the homework and end up helping each other understand how to do them correctly. Collaborating with your classmates and the TA during office hours could also significantly reduce the time it takes to do the homework.
Mar 12, 2006 The discussion 7 problem set for Gautam's sections has been posted.
Mar 9, 2006 WA 6 has been posted.

Mar 2, 2006 The discussion 6 problem set has been posted on the website (under Sections). Please try to work through at least the first few before discussion. Also note that Gautam will be leading all discussions tomorrow since Tachio is out of town.
Feb 28, 2006 After regrading the the LR parsing question under a more lenient grading scheme, many students received a substantial number of additional points. Please submit yours for a regrade if you think the grading for that question could be more lenient.
Feb 28, 2006 We have decided to revise the midterm I grading scheme to be more lenient on the LR parsing problem. If you lost points on the 4th midterm I problem (i.e., LR parsing) due to cascading errors, please give Gautam your midterm at office hours, discussion section, or after lecture, and he'll regrade it. You won't lose any points; you will most likely gain some. If you are unsure, just give it back to him and he'll take a look.
Feb 27, 2006 Midterm 1 solutions have been posted.
Feb 25, 2006 Midterm 1 grades have been posted on glookup. You can pick up your graded midterm 1 at office hours or discussion section. If you took a midterm and your midterm 1 grade doesn't appear on glookup, please let Gautam know as soon as possible. Here are some stats:

Feb 21, 2006 WA 3 is graded and ready to be picked up. It would be a good idea to review any mistakes before the midterm, so please feel free to come by Gautam's office hours and pick them up. If you can't make it, please e-mail him and he will be happy to tell you what you did wrong over e-mail.
Feb 21, 2006 There won't be a midterm 1 review session. However, Gautam is holding office hours on Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 to 5 pm. Please bring specific questions.
Feb 21, 2006 Midterm 1 will be held on Thursday, Feb 23 during class.
Jan 23, 2006 New policy on project slip hours . Each student gets an automatic extension of 96 hours. You can use the extension on any programming assignment(s) during the semester (in increments that are rounded up to the nearest integer). For instance, you can hand in one assignment 96 hours late, or each of four assignments 24 hours late. For group project assignments, the slip time will be deducted from each team member's remaining slip time. When you hand in a late assignment, you must identify in the README file the following: (i) how late this assignment is, and (ii) how much of the total slip time you have left. No assignment will be accepted more then 96 hours late. After you have used up your slip time, any assignment handed in late will be marked off 1% per hour. This policy does not apply to the written assignments.
This policy is very similar to that in CS186. Thanks to your colleague Vinay Kuruvila for proposing this.
Jan. 11, 2006 Welcome to the CS 164 home page. On this page you will see announcements and handouts for the class.
