Do not believe anything anyone tells you about the Final Exam.
Read All The Words!
If you cannot read the words, come to any lab and I will read them to you.

shift, etc.Reminder: There are now three quizzes that you need to complete (five times each) on Brightspace as part of your term Quiz mark. The third quiz has be posted. The Quizzes are not optional; see the Course Outline. You need to do each quiz at least five times.
Check the due date for each assignment and put a reminder in your agenda, calendar, and digital assistant. Just like in the Real World, not all due dates are on the same days or at the same times.
This course had two midterm tests (10%, 15%) and will have one final exam (40%).
Follow this link to see all your upcoming Quizzes, Tests, Final Exam. The dates are also posted on the Course Home Page and on Brightspace CST8207.
For full marks, read the Test Instructions web page (all the words) before your tests.
There is no group work in this course.
Because of the large number of students who shared, copied, and worked together on scripts in previous terms and who were all charged with Academic Dishonesty during Exam Week, you must now declare that you are the sole author of your scripts. You must write all your own scripts.
You must type the text from the Academic Honesty Declaration into the end (bottom) of every script you write in this course. See Assignment #12 HTML for the details.
If any of your scripts is found to have text in common with any other people, you will be charged with Academic Dishonesty (AA18) or Plagiarism (AA20) in the middle of your Exam Week, and your course marks may be delayed and downgraded. An Academic Discipline hearing is highly disruptive to your Exam Week. Do your own assignments; do not share, work together, or copy from another student or from the Internet.
Students who give answers (e.g. command lines) to other students are helping those other students fail my course. Stop doing that. I want everyone to pass my course.
Take notes in class! Keep a pad open on your desk.
Look at the Practice Tests and Answers related to the Final Exam. You can bring your questions to your lab periods and your instructor will go over them with you.
Check your EMail, especially when creating CRON jobs. One student had generated over 2,600 email messages (one per minute) using a CRON job that failed. (I deleted the job.)
Don’t forget to finish your five Brightspace quiz attempts for each of the Midterm 1 and Midterm 2 quizzes. There is a third quiz available to prepare for the Final Exam. Do at least five attempts in all three quizzes.
Nobody should have any files larger than 1MB in their CLS account.
If you have uploaded an image that is larger than 1MB, you should
make it smaller using the convert command directions given in
the Student Web Site page from
Assignment #09.
“The Bash Academy is an initiative to promote the bash shell language and educate people on its use.” http://www.bash.academy/
Regarding world-writable files in your account: See last week’s notes.
Keep a notebook with a List of Commands in it.
- You need to write down yourself what each command does.
- Check the updated list of commands each week.
- I will check for this list in your lab periods.
- Bring your notes to class! Stop wasting time looking up commands.
