From: Robert Wilensky (Wilensky@cs.berkeley.edu),
Dear Students,
As per your request, wireless network service is now available to
you.
We're very happy to announce that AirBears, UC Berkeley's wireless
(802.11B) network service, is now available in EECS instructional
facilities in Soda, Cory and Davis Halls.
In particular, EECS Instruction has funded the installation of
AirBears
access points that can now be reached from the following rooms:
105, 111, 117, 119, 125 Cory
310, 345, 349 Davis
271, 273, 275, 277 Soda
306, 333, 337, 349 Soda
While our motivation is primarily to support undergraduate
wireless
access, AirBears is free and available to ALL students, faculty
and
staff at UC Berkeley.
Note that AirBears is a separate wireless network from the EECS
wireless
network (which is available in the rest of Soda and Cory, etc.).
Thus,
if you are a user of the EECS wireless network, you will have to
switch
wireless networks if you move between an EECS zone and an AirBears
zone.
Unlike EECS's wireless network, AirBears uses no encryption, but
requires a CalNet ID for authentication. For further information
about
how to use AirBears service, see
this page for help.
Special thanks to Kevin Mullally and Fred Archibald, along with
the rest
of the Instructional and IDSG staff, for making this happen.
Friday 11/22/02 5:51pm
On Monday, 11/25, Prof. Smith's office hours will be 10:45-11:45am; he

Please email (to cs162-ta) questions (by 12/2/02 11:59pm)
you'd like the TAs to go over during
the midterm3 review session. Otherwise we'll just go over the sample final
in the reader.
Wednesday 11/20/02 10:26pm
The
solutions for Midterm 2 are now up! Sorry for the delay.
Wednesday 11/20/02 12:25pm
Reminder: the last "midterm" in CS162 will be given the evening of
Thursday, December 5, 2002, starting at 7pm. There will be no "final
exam". The exam will be cumulative, and will (potentially) cover everthing
from the start of the semester. The exam will be in 10 Evans. There will
be a review session on Wednesday, December 4, starting at 7pm, also in 10
Evans. Course grades should be available 7-10 days after the last exam,
and will be posted in ~cs162/Students/course_grades by "code number."
Make sure that you know your code number, and that we have it.

to have more design reviews on monday 9/23/02 from 2:00-3:40pm
instead.
Wednesday 9/18/02 10:00pm
There have been a few questions concerning the design dococument, so
to clarify:
1.) The design document is worth up to 5% of the phase, and will be
grade by the TAs during the design review
2.) The 'design.txt' that is due with the phase will be composed of
the
answers to questions at the end of the phase doc. and the design doc from
the design review updated to reflect your actual design. (the design doc
is NOT due 2 days after each phase)
3.)The design doc you include will not hurt your grade, but will be
used
to offer partial credit. (so if you fail autograder, rather than give you
a zero, we'll try to give some partial credit based on design).
Tuesday 9/17/02 22:20pm
