Spring 2005

Important Announcements

The mean score on the final was 71, with a standard deviation of 18. Histogram.
There will be three review sessions offered, each covering different problems.

Monday, May 9: 4-5pm, 3102 Etcheverry. Paolo will review the first semester's material.
Tuesday, May 10: 1-2pm, 3108 Etcheverry. Niels will review the second semester's material, followed by office hours 2pm-3pm.

Wednesday, May 11: 12-1pm, 141 McCone Hall. Hari will review Practice Final 1, followed by office hours 1pm-2pm in 197 Cory.

HW11's deadline has been EXTENDED to Friday, May 6 at noon.
Here are a couple sample finals and solutions for practice. Practice Final 1 and Solution. Two more practice finals with solutions can be found here. Remember that the focus of this class varies slightly from year to year, so the material emphasized in previous finals may differ from what we emphasized this year.
Just a reminder about the EECS Dept. Policy on Academic Dishonesty. (Dishonesty Policy)
