Fri, Nov 16 @ 11:18 am - No Office Hours Tuesday
I will not be holding office hours next Tuesday. Please send me an email if you have questions.

Thu, Nov 15 @ 5:31 pm - No Class Tuesday
We finished Chapter 5 today, so there will be no class next Tuesday, Nov 20. Homework 4 is still due before 3pm on Tuesday. Either submit it via Blackboard or turn it in to the front CS office. Ask that it be left for the TA, Santosh Vuppala. Also, make sure someone timestamps and initials it.

Wed, Nov 14 @ 9:39 am - Grades Updated
Grades through Homework 3 have been updated on Blackboard.

Tue, Oct 30 @ 1:32 pm - CS 555 Presentation Topics
If you're still looking for a topic, you might want to consider one of the topics in the textbook that we won't have time to cover: KR 2.6 (P2P protocols), Ch 6 (wireless and mobile), Ch 8 (security). If you're interested in one of the topics from these chapters, you'll also need to find other material besides the textbook to draw from.

Send me your topic by the end of the week (Nov 2). I'll assign presentation slots and post them on the schedule by next Monday.

Tue, Oct 30 @ 1:18 pm - Program 3 Hints/FAQ

Tue, Oct 16 @ 12:57 pm - Writing Workshops/Extra Credit
Here are a couple of workshops sponsored by Writing Tutorial Services that might be of interest. I will give extra credit for attending any of these (you must pickup a slip that says you've attended). All sessions will be held during activity hour (12:30-1:30pm).

October 25th - Plagiarism (BAL 1014)
November 15th - Common ESL Errors (BAL 1014)
November 29th - Article Usage (BAL 1014)
