Attend a free workshop on Preparing for Exams - Test Taking Skills and Test Anxiety April 14.

  1. All three Quizzes are open until the Final Exam, then they are closed.
    • Quizzes are random samples and thus do not cover all of the questions in the practice test PDF file. Do the PDF file to be fully prepared.
  2. Final Exam: 180 minutes; Tuesday April 21 11am to 2pm in room C144
    • Take a bathroom break before you sit down for three hours!
    • A third set of practice questions is posted. See Practice Tests and Answers. The third quiz, based on this set of questions, will be out soon.
    • The final exam emphasizes material after the second midterm test, but it covers the whole course and therefore includes material from all the practice question sets.

I did a Linux Rap at the start of class on April 6, 2015.

“Only do, what only you can do.” - E.W.Dijkstra(?), John Maxwell(?), John Harvey Jones(?), others(?)…

With this quote firmly in mind, I solicited four words from the students at the start of my Linux lecture class, wrote them on the board, put on a 1970s batik shirt, yellow pants, and sunglasses, and performed a short freestyle, completely improvised rap that included all of the words they gave me.

Ed Barrick has shared a video with you on YouTube:
Good morning Professor. As discussed, please find the link below to the YouTube video of this mornings rap.
I have applied Creative Commons licensing to the video. You are free to post it, and use it as you see fit.
Thanks
Ed
