Pete's Log: gettin' there

Comp arch final tuesday morning. It was definitely better written than the comp arch midterm. I hardly had to make any assumptions at all. Of course, the grammar was still very poor, and it would have made more sense as a final for an MIS class than as a final for a graduate cse course, but whatever. I think I pretty much kicked its ass. But we'll have to wait and see.

Algorithms final was this afternoon. The final is worth 30% of the total grade. Up until the final, I think my score is pretty much perfect. I got a 100 on the midterm, got mostly 100s on the homeworks, and only missed one class, so I should get most, if not all, of the 5% extra credit for attendance. So really I only need to get like 20 out of the 30% the final is worth. Anyway, the final was much harder than the midterm. It was out of 120 points, had 6 problems each worth 20. The first three I'm very confident about. The next, I kinda wrote two pages of stuff that should suffice for me to get at least 10 of the 20 points. The last two problems I feel pretty good about, but maybe not full 20s. So I think I should get at least 100/120 on the final, which should be enough for an A in the class. Woo.

The last of the compilers presentations were today. I got to see a few good presentations and a bunch of mediocre ones. Now all that's left for compilers is to grade the final.

Now it's time to finish up the comp arch project. And tomorrow I might even study a little for graphics...
