Announcements
Practice quiz 5 is online only and is available now until Friday, 10/9 at 11:59pm. You can access the quiz in Gradescope.
The quiz is open-note, open-book, etc. (However, I would advise trying to complete the quiz without any resources, since it's intended to help you practice for the in-person, paper exam.)
In-person sections are canceled tomorrow (Friday, 10/9). No course assistants will be available in the section room during your scheduled section time. You will need to take the quiz online.
Join your classmates for a peer study session to work together on Homework 7 and study for Practice Quiz 5 this Thursday (10/8) from 5pm - 6pm in the CIS Building Ramble.
A course assistant will be available to answer questions and to help you study for the quiz.
The "ramble" is the long hallway on the first floor of the Computing and Information Science Building (next to Gates Hall). The study session will be held on the opposite end of the building from Gimme! Coffee. Look for "INFO 1300" on the whiteboards.
