One student mentioned to me after class yesterday that he might be interested in a midterm review session. This would work best if people had already reviewed the material and last year's exam, and perhaps prepared a list of questions or topics for discussion. If you are interested, please email me (seano at cs dot ucsd dot edu) by Friday, so I can set up a review session for Monday. Please include a list of available times in your email.

Yes, I think it will be helpful if we have a review section on Monday, I'm available from 2pm

I am available on the day of the exam to schedule a review for any questions that students may have that were not answered by studying.

I am thinking that if I hold the review at 12:00 noon until 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday then students still the afternoon to digest answers to their last minute questions. The idea is that it is a session oriented at discussing anything you could not figure out while studying.

I also have office hours that morning.

Would such a review session be useful?

Is it possible to put a pdf copy of the previous midterm online? I have no application on my computer that handles postscript. Thanks, Abbie

For future reference -- you can download ghostview for free on the web. It allows you to view postscript. A lot of research papers are in postscript so it is a good idea to have some kind of reader. There also are free postscript->pdf programs.

is it possible to get solutions for the midterm?

Hash -- not until afterwards ;)

BTW -- Monday's review session will be in the same time and place as the discussion sections: 4 PM, Center 212.

it'll be nice if we have solution to the practice midterm so we can check our answers.

Could anyone explain the difference between variable bindings and bound? Thanx!

Is there hw due on Tues. (day of midterm)?

The homework assignment has been postponed until February 19th (Thursday) so that you can focus on studying for the midterm.

Mickey -- I don't understand your question. A "variable binding" creates a "bound variable", but I'm not sure this is what you're asking.

For number 2 of the sample midterm, I don't understand what the Nx means. Were post systems covered in class.

Ronald -- post systems were not covered in Sethi. You should review the grammars that were covered in class.
