The proposal is for an optional final exam on Wednesday, 2 May, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The format will be the same as the regular tests, except it will have more questions; how many more I haven't determined. Lowest question grade will be dropped, and the grade for the final exam will be the straight unweighted average of the remaining n - 1 question grades. The final grade in the class will be the straight unweighted average of the highest six accumulated test and assignment grades. Note that this grade is independent of, although not unrelated to, whether or not you take the final exam. If you want to take the optional final exam, let me know by Wednesday, 25 April, at 6 p.m. (the start of the last class). If nobody expresses an interest in taking the final exam, there will instead be an open lecture on software transactional memory. Let me know if you have any questions.Received on Tue Apr 24 2012 - 00:45:51 EDT
