• 9.9.2002
  Problem Set #1
  #15 -- I just found out that my wording in the textbook is not as clear to everyone as I thought it was. See problem 15, which is in the textbook as Problem 2.33. One of you asks what do I mean when I say:
  
  What mask value and what operation would one use to indicate ...
  
  Specifically, what does the word INDICATE mean? By "to indicate," I mean "to set the bit vector" so that it indicates...
  
  Example: Part a says: What mask value and what operation would one use to indicate that machine 2 is busy?
  
  Perhas I should have written: What mask value and what operation would one use to change the bit vector, thereby indicating that machine 2 is busy?

  Adding 379K will be done by the chief ECE advisor on the 7th. The computer has been set to block your attempt to add it yourself. It is important to discuss this with one of the TAs.
  
  If you are unsure about taking 379K, you probably should ask to be enrolled. If you are selected, you will be enrolled on the 7th. That will give you a course overload the week of the 9th, which is not a problem. Go to one of the sessions on the 10th and one on the 12th. On the 13th, you decide whether this is for you or not. If yes, drop something else. If not, drop 379K.
  
  What appears on your final transcript starts with what you are registered for at the end of the 12th class day. You can change your schedule as much as you want before the 12th class day, and none of it appears on your transcript.
  
  Apparently there is still confusion about what will go on in 379K. No new material will be covered. The point of the course is to help you master the material of EE 306. There will be no exams in 379K. You will work problems with the TA. The TA will be able to give you additional individual help. These problems will not be graded. There will be nothing graded.
  
  There will be four 2 1/2 hour sessions each week, from 2 to 4:30 pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 6 to 8:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Each student enrolled attends whichever one of the Tuesday sessions and whichever one of the Thursday sessions is most comfortable for him/her.
  
  EE 379K can only be taken pass/fail. The expectation is that everyone will pass. Passing will be based strictly on effort, attendance, trying to succeed. The grade in EE 306, on the other hand, will be based strictly on mastery of the material.
  
  The course will count toward the total course load for the semester. It will not count toward graduation. A grade of Pass does not affect your gpa. A grade of Fail does affect your gpa, so we will have to be careful that that does not happen. ...and it shouldn't if you are serious about this stuff.
