Remember that each team is expected to be prepared to present their design for question 7 in class on Tuesday.
This Wednesday (today), I’m going to be in the Stacks for help hours from 2-3:30 as usual, but please come find me in Olsson 226 (come straight in) during the evening help hours: 5-6:30.
I won’t be able to hold my usual office hours this Thursday, but will have office hours tomorrow (Wednesday, noon-1pm). If you can’t make it then, please email me to arrange another time.
Problem Set 5 is here.
There are several upcoming deadlines for PS5:
Since I understand it may be difficult to get to (or get into) Olsson Hall on today and Monday, you can turn in PS4 electronically instead of dropping off a paper copy. To submit it electronically, you should generate a single PDF file that I can print out that contains all your answers for PS4 (including the relevant code you wrote). (If you prefer to turn in a paper copy that is fine, but I’m not sure how open Olsson hall will be tomorrow.)
I won’t hold my normal office hours Monday because of “Fall Break”, but I will be available earlier in the day by appointment.
Here are the slides from class 13: [PDF] [PPTX]
I will also clarify the “Social Network” movie challenge question I mentioned at the beginning of class today. There are at least three scenes in the movie that have some technical computing content:
The second one of these suggests the most obvious challenge question: explain the question and answer Mark gives, and what assumptions not visible in the scene are necessary for Mark’s answer to be correct. This definitely involves topics not covered in cs2220, so would require some outside learning about operating systems. (For Matt Welsh’s take of Mark Zuckerberg’s performance in his course, see How I almost killed Facebook from his blog.)
The other two suggest less obvious challenge questions (especially the third one, and I don’t want to encourage any programming under the influence!), and Aaron Sorkin’s dialogue in the movie moves really quickly, so for these you would have to both define and answer your own interesting challenge question.
There are a lot of inaccuracies and distortions in the movie, but its also a lot of fun and very well done.
I’m out of town Monday so will not be able to hold my usual office hours. I will be available after class Tuesday and later in the week.
