• Programming assignments of this course require extensive programming skills and knowledge in C, C++, and data structures. Due to time limitation, there will be NO review of these lower-end course topics. You should be well-prepared before entering this course. Insufficient C/C++ and data structures programming skills is NOT a valid excuse.

• Reading list of week 14 is online. Click here to review it.
• Materials to be covered in the final exam will focus more on those chapters and sections after Exam II. But, there will be problems from earlier chapters and sections to test your understanding of previous topics. Moreover, the grading policy for "recycled" problems is all-or-nothing unless your mistakes are very very minor. Don't forget to elaborate your answer if an elaboration is required. Otherwise, you will receive a 0 even though your answer is a correct one. A calculator may be very helpful.
• Final exam is on Tuesday 12.45 - 14:45 in Fisher 328. It is a 2-hour exam.
