FYI: Seats being added to 598 section of Info Retrieval/mining/integration

For those who are trying to register for the 598 section of the information integration/mining/retrieval--
you might note that the capacities of the 494 and 598 sections will be changed to make additional seats
available in 598. This should get done by sometime tomorrow.
If you plan to take the course, show up for the class tomorrow.

Sorry for the blanket mail--several students asked for overrides, and I thought this way I can also get in touch
with students who wanted to enroll if there are seats.

regards
Rao

Dear Fall 2006 cse 471/598 students:

 I hope you had a relaxing break and a great start for the new year. I just got back from India. The trip included some neat sight-seeing
(Rhinos in the wild viewed from atop swaying elephants in two national parks in north-east india) as well as attending IJCAI 2007 in Hyderabad.

The CEAS teaching evaluations for the cse471/598 course have been communicated to us. Thank you for the many
comments--laudatory or critical. Wheter I agree with them and/or deserve them, I certainly read them carefully.

It is my quixotic custom to make the complete evaluations available for viewing for a limited time to
the students who took the course. Accordingly, I stored them at

au revoir from skyharbor..

Folks

 The grades have been posted and you should be able to see them.

The homework 4 is available for pickup from the TA. The final exam has to be kept with me according to university rules.

It was fun teaching you all this semester and I hope to see you around and may be even in other courses.

cheers

AI homework 4 and project make up

Hi, folks.

If you need to pick up your hardcopy of homework 4 and project make up,
you can stop by my office (BYENG561AC) on Monday and Tuesday
(Dec.18th/19th). I should be around most of the time.

The instructor keeps the copies of final. You need to check with him if
you want to see the final.

Have a good holiday!!

Hold--I say--*hold*--the presses (egregious error in the previous cumulatives)...

So it has just been pointed out to me by the ever-watchful TA that I took the midterm grade twice instead of
midterm and final--in computing the exam total and thereby the cumulative. My apologies.

Here I believe are the *real* cumulatives. Also, this does change the "top" person in one of the sections.  They now can
proffer their advice to me about where the grade cutoffs should be... (and my apologies to the person who
had the "Dewey Wins" dejavu--I think he/she did a great job in the class over all).

ps: By the way, if you were tormented with too much work, just think of the poor TA who had to grade everything you guys did
       (and continued to look out for your interests even in the eleventh hour). Lei more than continues the tradition of
      outstanding TAs for cse471..

Final cumulative ranking (required marks)

Here is the final cumulative ranking according to my Excel (I will have it checked by the TA once but it sort of looks correct).

I will let you in on an early secret.  The very top student in both sections (471 and 598) are guaranteed to get an A+ (although
they both should be chastised for not doing well on the final).

I am willing to hear (hear--not necessarily follow) from them about where the grade cutoffs should be in their sections 
for A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C,  D and E.

ps: Mails requesting a favorable consideration of your own case will likely result in me thinking unfavorably of you. So, don't do it ;-)
