Final grades available | |
| Thank you all for your hard work throughout this challenging semester, and especially for your efforts in presenting your results and actively participating in the lectures. Your final grades are now available in GR and will be updated in your grade-sheet shortly. They were calculated as follows: Final = round(0.15*HW1+0.25*HW2+0.25*HW3+0.25*HW4+Participation). I you haven’t done so already, please take a few minutes to fill the questionnaire linked at the last lecture. Your feedback will help improve the course in future (physical, virtual, or hybrid) semesters. Free listeners: thank you for joining us and for your comments and questions throughout the semester. Your feedback via the questionnaire is also appreciated. I wish you all good luck with your remaining exams. Stay healthy and enjoy the summer! Gala |

Please prepare for the following presentation order in class on Monday: 1. Roei/Itamar 2. Amit/Ofek 3. Lior/Alex 4. Guy/Tali As usual, you will be presenting from my laptop, so make sure to send me your slides by the end of Sunday. Please pay attention to the time limit (6 minutes) when you prepare your talk. If you are presenting and can attend class in person, please make an effort to do so.

HW4 submission time | |
| Some of you asked for an extension to finish straggling executions. Due to the tight course schedule, such an extension is not possible. However, for those who served on reserve duty since the publication of the exercise, the following option is available: you must submit your (final and functional) code by the original deadline (i.e., tonight). You can submit the dry part (the PDF file with the figures and analysis) by Tuesday at noon, via WebCourse. The automatic check will begin after the original deadline, so you cannot submit changes to your code. |

| Those of you who sent me their preliminary slides received feedback via email. Please prepare for the following presentation order in class on Monday: 1. Hamodi/Adan 2. Roei/Itamar 3. Lior/Alex 4. Illay/Aki You will be presenting from my laptop, so make sure to send me your slides by the end of Sunday. When timing your talks, keep in mind the common background we all have, i.e., the workload properties and the algorithms we learned in class. Focus on what’s new, good, bad, and surprising in your policy and results. It is OK (and appreciated!) if you use less than the maximum 10 minutes. If you are presenting and can attend class in person, please make an effort to do so.

Two important notes: - There are two submission deadlines in this exercise (one for each part), the first one is next week. - It is recommended to activate and test your lab accounts early, so that the IT team can help if you encounter any problems. Working in the lab is optional. The tentative HW schedule for the course is also available in the "Syllabus" page. Good luck, Course staff. |
