Possibilities<br /> - too long<br /> - every question is worth 2 points, skip and come back<br /> if one is taking too long!<br /> - some of you tried pattern matching to assignments<br /> rather than answering the question asked<br /> - when faced with something you didn&#039;t know, you did a search rather<br /> than think through what you already knew &amp; what the question said<br /> - you&#039;re doing the assignments by searching first rather than<br /> thinking first<br /> - not taking the time to understand tutorial/assignment code<br /> beyond the bare minimum to answer assignment &amp; tutorial questions<br /> - they are short programs, you should understand every line<br /> <br /> What&#039;s a special file?<br /> - character devices, block devices, pipes, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> Why don&#039;t I give tutorial answers?<br /> - because the journey is more important than the destination<br /> - how you learned things is more important than what you learn<br /> - again, doing searches for everything is the entirely wrong approach<br /> - consult google for definitions, documentation, not answers<br /> <br /> <br /> Tips for the final<br /> - when you do the tutorials and assignments, do a search online<br /> only after looking at man pages and trying to figure it out in<br /> other ways<br /> - if anything seems unclear, ASK (forums, lecture, TA, office hours)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
