Notes
Lecture 15 ---------- What happened with the midterm? Possibilities - too long - every question is worth 2 points, skip and come back if one is taking too long! - some of you tried pattern matching to assignments rather than answering the question asked - when faced with something you didn't know, you did a search rather than think through what you already knew & what the question said - you're doing the assignments by searching first rather than thinking first - not taking the time to understand tutorial/assignment code beyond the bare minimum to answer assignment & tutorial questions - they are short programs, you should understand every line What's a special file? - character devices, block devices, pipes, etc. Why don't I give tutorial answers? - because the journey is more important than the destination - how you learned things is more important than what you learn - again, doing searches for everything is the entirely wrong approach - consult google for definitions, documentation, not answers Tips for the final - when you do the tutorials and assignments, do a search online only after looking at man pages and trying to figure it out in other ways - if anything seems unclear, ASK (forums, lecture, TA, office hours)
