(Jan. 4) The tutors failed to enter a handful of project teamwork and project grades into the grades file. Therefore, I'm making a number of corrections and will report the new final grades in a few days. If you've noticed that your project teamwork grade or project grade is missing, hold tight - I will correct it. Once I get the bugs worked out of the grades file (e.g., all assignment project grades, regrades, etc.), I'll submit the final grades.

(Jan. 2) Happy New Year! I have posted the project marks and the final course marks below (all marks excluding your final exam marks). I will take all unclaimed assignments, projects, and midterms over to the CSSU early next week, so you can retrieve your materials there. Best of luck in your future studies!

(Dec. 21) The tutors are still compiling the project grades. When I receive the final project grades, I will post them immediately. I expect to do this before New Years eve. After that, I will compile and post the final course grades.

(Dec. 21) Someone left a pocket calculator at the exam. Please contact me early in the new year to pick it up (provided you can identify it :-)).

(Dec. 21) I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and new year!

(Dec. 5) The next office hours will be the usual 1-3pm time slot on Wednesday, December 19.

(Nov. 28) The grades were posted with half of the project plan grades missing. As soon as the tutor updates the file, I will repost an updated grades file.

(Nov. 27) Jeff (the tutor who marked Assignment #2) will hold a special office hours to handle Assignment 2B regrading. It will be this Friday from 4-5 pm, in his office (SF4301D).

(Nov. 27) I have posted the slides on the application of hashing to computer vision.

(Nov. 27) I have posted the grades file (so far). Please have a look to see if your remark requests have been updated correctly.
