The End Today’s music: Pink Floyd Grades HWs 7, 8, 9 to be returned soon Lab 12, quiz 3, and HW 10 later this week Lab 12 and quiz 3 should be returned by Wed evening I wil try to get HW 10 returned on Thursday The viewgrades script now lists the letter grade Quiz 2 has now received the +5 bonus Unless you got a regrade – this will appear later Assignments HW 10 is due this Tuesday at 10 a.m. If all your code doesn’t work, try using ours with your Descriptions Final assignments will have a shorter regrade period Office hours Will continue normally today and tomorrow, with more TAs at the stacks TA office hours will end Tuesday night at midnight My office hours will be by appointment during finals week Final exam Is completely optional! Please don’t take my final – I hate grading them… It’s this Friday at 7 p.m. in CHM 402 (this room) Lectures: will do a course wrap-up today I’ve heard reports of issues with setVisibility() – am looking into that… for a faster response

Some feedback I wanted to respond to… Because of the late return of HWs 7-9, people don’t want mistakes on HW 7 to count against them on HW 8 or 9 I will try my best to avoid this Many said that this should be a 4 credit class It turns out UVa won’t allow us to do that unless we up the lab to 3 hours
