Announcements

  • Instructor Evaluation: Thursday, April 20th 2006, 6:30pm, 205 LAWRN (Bonus Points)
  • Information about both portions of the final are posted below
  • As I mentioned to many of you, Blackboard (Courseweb) is not computing grades as I would like. Thus, the computed percentage displayed in courseweb is not necessarily the grade you currently have.... it's close, but I have no idea what it's doing with the extra credit points. It'll be corrected by the end of the semester.
  • Study Guide for the Final
  • My Outlook notes are posted here.
  • Basic Unix Commands & Examples
  • AFS client software to connect your PC to AFS: www.openAFS.org
