Unofficial Final Examination Results for
course have been posted on the mark page of this site. I have taken time to go through most
questions of each paper. Some grades
for students who have done all course work and on the border line (<1) and
who have completed all course work, may still be adjusted before I submit
grades to the Registrar’s office as I said in my first class. To see the
class grade distribution, scroll down to the end. And as announced earlier,
Exam Viewing sessions are still
mounted tomorrow for: Monday,
Dec. 21, 2015 --- From 10:00am to 4:00pm
in ER 2125. You do not have to go to see your exam
paper as we have spent a lot of time today (over 12 hours with 13 of us
marking) to ensure there are no errors during marking. However, the hours are already covered
(supervised by the GAs) and if you are around and would want to check, you
are encouraged to do so. Also, check
your email as I sent a detailed email on this issue to you not too long ago. When you go for viewing, log in your
specific requests, include your email address and lab section, and I will
look into all of them when time permits.
I look into all valid requests for reviewing a specific question for a
specified reason you have identified and I will respond to you later via
email. Booking an appointment to see me is not an option now, please. I am
away also in two days for a long time. These are the only Viewing sessions for
the course. I am on sabbatical leave
in January and will not be able to entertain any requests for final exam
viewing. Please take advantage of this
final exam viewing if possible. Make-up final exam is given to only
those pre-approved for it by me, and is scheduled as announced earlier in the
new year for Friday, Jan. 8, 2015, 1:00 – 4:00pm in ER 1115. I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !! |

REMEMBER,
IT IS IMPORTANT TO GO TO ALL CLASSES !!
WATCH OUT FOR Information Regarding an
Important Scholarship Competition called NSERC Undergraduate Student Research
Award (USRA) which is posted on the CS Announcement Link as soon as it is
out. It normally comes out right about
now.
You are encouraged to apply for this
scholarship award if your gpa
is close to 85% or higher at the end of the term. You can talk to me about this if interested.
Note that the week of Nov. 23 is the last week of labs
and we are running that week’s lab as non-mandatory (informal lab). Thus, you
can go if you have questions for the GAs but you do not have to go. A lot can
be done during the informal lab to prepare for the final exams (e.g., the
practice final exam in the book), to practice more on arrays, your assignment
6, discuss your lab exam and lab attendance totals, and discuss lab exercise 9.
This lab in particular, provides you with the opportunity to ask individual
questions on course topics in preparation for the final exams. Thus, students are encouraged to attend their
lab on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday if they need to.
Students are encouraged to check their marks on the
web, carrying totals going into the final exam, and report any discrepancies
early to me via email (cezeife@uwindsor.ca).
I have posted all tests, assignments (except assign 6
which will be added when ready) and labs solutions and all chapter class
teachings are supported by electronic examples on the simple example link of
the course web site.
Other Events: Lots of exciting activities going on in class this coming week or next including completing student evaluation of teaching SET and possibly class pictures after final examination review. Note that the final examination review exercises can only be obtained from the class and are not posted on the web.
CONSULTING
HOURS: A lot of hours have been made available the
entire term. There is a GA/TA available
in the JAVA lab, most hours from 10:00am to 5:20pm on Mondays to Thursdays, to
assist with assignment questions and clarification of concepts discussed in
class. There is also electronic
consulting available 24-7 with MEG (mostly electronic GAs) Abedal
Alkhateeb with email: alkhate@uwindsor.ca. You can send questions to the MEG GA via
email and they will respond as soon as possible and not generally later than 24
hours after receiving your questions. My office
hours are: M, 2:00pm – 2:50pm, 5:00-5:50pm Tue: 1:00 – 2:00pm, Thurs:

NOTE THAT LAB EXAM IS COMING MONDAY, TUESDAY,
WEDNESDAY (Nov. 16, 17, and 18). GO TO
YOUR LAB TO DO THE EXAM (or lose 5% of course marks). You can check the sample lab 10 exercise in
the book (pp. 283-285) for the format of the lab exam and what to expect. Lab
exam covers materials from chapters 1 to 8 up to single dimensional array.
Basically, there are two questions, first to be solved with simple programming
constructs (like scanf, assignment instructions and
if-else instructions and without functions).
The second question is to be solved with arrays and repetition and any
other needed instructions and with functions. You do not work with your lab
group during the exam. You work alone.
It is an open book exam and thus, you can use your course book, your old
programs, materials from course web site previously printed. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE WEB BROWSER OR
EMAIL DURING THE LAB EXAM. Not a big
deal, just another lab. The GAs are
there and you can receive minimal help if you are stuck but you may get
deducted if you are offered a lot of help. The GAs are busy and will have to
mark and get mark for all students and thus cannot spend too much time with one
student needing too much help.
GOOD LUCK!!.

Hints on Assignment 5:
Hints on how to solve assignment 5
was provided in one of the last classes.
Basically, this assignment is a counter-controlled loop problem and can
be solved with a for-loop although while-loop and do_while
loop instructions can also be used. It is simpler than Lab 7. The draft
solution provided without function is given below. Fill them up and try to complete with
function as in the assignment 5 requirements and submit.
The input and output data for
assignment 5 can be seen as rows of data given the n (e.g., 3) number of taxes to be computed.
The draft program for main is:
int main (void)
// Declare the i/o variables here
int knt, numtax, taxbr; // knt for
counter, numtax as number of taxes to compute and //taxbr
for the tax bracket of the income.
float tax; // income tax to be computed
//user
types the number of taxes to be computed
scanf(“%d”,&numtax);
// the main repetition instruction starts here to
process one income at a time.
for (knt = 0; knt < numtax; knt++)
{
//
first read the income to process
scanf(“%f”,&income);
//
then, using the given tax table, compute the tax bracket of income //using nested if instruction. Full solution should be calling function //tax_brack_id.
if (income < 0) taxbr
= 0; // outside allowed range
else if
(income < 10000) taxbr
= 1;
else
if (income < 20000) taxbr = 2;
:
:
else taxbr = 6;
//Now
compute the tax using tax_calc function with switch_case instruction
switch (taxbr)
case
0: printf(“invalid
income\n”); break;
:
} // end of switch_case
instruction
// Now
print the income and tax using PrintAll function before
going to next // income
:
} // end of
for loop
return 0;
} // end of main.
Also draw and submit your
flowcharts.
***
Of course, you need to provide all
other required components like solving with functions, proper decision
instruction such as switch_case instruction, etc as
specified on the assignment.

This
is no time to miss classes. Quiz 2 and
final exams are harder exams worth 52.5% together and students with A average going into the final exam have failed the course
before because they stopped going to classes and keeping up with decision, repetition,
arrays and other topics being discussed later in the course. Thus, students are encouraged to keep up with
the work.
Note: if you got less than 50% in
the midterm exam, I specifically invite you to come and see me during my office
hour or book a
counseling appointment through the CS secretary, Ms Pat at
pat.prieur@uwindsor.ca. Send email to cezeife@uwindsor.ca
asap.
Hm! The voluntary
withdrawal date is Mon., Nov. 16th and you do not want to keep an F (< 50%)
or F- (< 23%) on your transcript as those are hard to get rid of,
later. If you are having difficulty with
this course or any course, consider dropping the course by the voluntary
withdrawal date and in particular, schedule to talk to a CS academic counselor
by calling the CS undergrad secretary at ext 2991/2990 or visit her to schedule
appointment in room LT 5114/5115.
Note that Quiz 2 for
Section 01 will be written in Toldo 102 on Nov. 12
during class time at 11:30am for Lecture Section 01 (and on Monday, Nov 9 at 8:30pm in ER 1118 during class
time for Lecture section 02).

GO TO ALL CLASSES

MIDTERM TEST IS ON FRIDAY, OCT. 30
AT TOLDO 100 (for
section 1) and TOLDO 104 (for section 2) AT 7:00 – 8:30PM. TEST COVERS MATERIALS FROM CHAPTERS 1 TO 4 (LECTURE
SLIDES 1 TO 108). Solution to sample
midterm test on pages 304 to 310 of book is already posted on the course web
site through test solutions link. I will not include flowcharts though. I will save that and the rest of new
materials following chapter 4 for Quiz 2.
Assignments 1, 2 and 3 solutions are posted and
Labs 1 to 4 solutions are posted, the simple example link is also useful.
My office hours are: M, 2:00pm – 2:50pm, 5:00-5:50pm
Tue: 1:00 – 2:00pm, Thurs: 2:00-2:50pm after study week. (in LT 5105)
This week, in particular, I will like to see
all students who did not hand in their assignments 2 or 3 during my office
hours.
Lab the week of Oct 26 is Lab
Exercise 5 (on decisions, use the book to solve it as we continue to do it
class). But note that the Lab 6 (informal lab) could not be accommodated in the
schedule this year. Thus, we shall be doing Lab exercise 7 upper week or week
of Nov. 2 and must continue to complete repetition as well.
Ensure you complete assignments 3 and 4 as
those will be helpful in preparing for midterms. And remember that it pays at the end to do
all course work because, if at the end, you need less than 1% to be rounded up
to the next grade point and you had completed all course work, you get that
advantage.

For Students
Using Macintosh Computers (ssh
on mac) who are still having difficulties connecting
to cs servers with NoMachine,
you can connect with ssh which should already be
installed on the Mac OS. Simply open a
terminal window (under Utilities in the Applications folder), and then type the
ssh uwindsor_userid@cs.uwindsor.ca. You can also use
the sftp command to transfer files. If you want a
better front-end to those commands, look at: Jellyfissh

Where to Find
and download Course Notes
I have placed a .pdf copy of the course notes on the course web site
through the course notes link at this course web site:
http://cezeife.myweb.cs.uwindsor.ca/courses/60-140/index.html.
Activating your
Computer User Accounts and Accessing your Webmail
To connect to cs.uwindsor.ca
servers remotely and be able to transfer files, you need to download NoMachine. The NoMachine Player
(client) is available for free on many platforms including Windows, Mac OS X,
Linux, Android and iOS (iPad tablets).
It can be downloaded from nomachine.com and we have some instructional
videos for users at help.cs.uwindsor.ca under the “SERVERS” section. Read below
for specific details.
To
download NoMachine and access the instructional video
prepared by the CS technicians, go to the cs download
help link at:
3. The working alternative most similar to the old SSH
client you may be used to is the Bitvise SSH
Client. Please visit http://www.help.cs.uwindsor.ca/en/servers/remote-access/secure-shell/ for
an instructional video recently created by Steve Karamatos on
installing the clients found at http://www.putty.org/.
1.
Follow the instruction in the cs
help centre link for connecting to cs.uwindsor.ca servers with NoMachine if not yet familiar.
2.
You now have a virtual machine interface similar to
what you see in the machines on campus in the Java lab or the West Leddy Library
lab. Then, left click on Applications on the top menu and select System Tools,
then, Mate Terminal. This creates a
terminal for Unix/Linux commands on a white background.
3.
You are now ready to type your Unix/Linux commands for
editing with a text editor (e.g., gedit findsum.c), compiling a C program (e.g., cc findsum.c) and running a C program (e.g., ./a.out).
4.
If you want a copy of your source program file or any
file in the remote cs server brought to your local
home PC, you can then use NoMachine to transfer the
files or Fillezilla to transfer the files.
3. Once connected, you are ready to type a
simple program using a text editor like pico on
Unix/Linux command line
(e.g., pico findsum.c).
E.g., experiment by typing a simple program to find the sum of two numbers in
C.
For students using Macintosh computer, you can
check section 1.7 of book on how to use ssh
with Mac or follow the steps in the following file SSHonMac.
