[cs615asa] midterm evaluation, hw3

[Jan Schaumann]

Hello,

As noted in class, you were supposed to fill out the Midterm Evaluation:

http://www.stevens.edu/compsci/accreditation/Mid_Term_Survey.pdf

This is supposed to be anonymous, so please take the time to print this
page, fill it out (without your name on it) and get it to Zahra who can
then give it to me.

In the 'other comments' section, feel free to comment on the usefulness
(or lack thereof) of the class twitter channel.  I try to not use it as
anything that _requires_ students to pay attention to, but as some sort
of supplementary data stream.  If you'd like to see more, less or
different things happening in that direction, please let me know.


Secondly, I've posted the third homework assignment:
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~jschauma/615A/s11-hw3.html
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~jschauma/615A/ec2-start-instance.1.html
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~jschauma/615A/ec2-backup.1.html

If you're interested, you can also download the actual manual pages from
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~jschauma/615A/ec2-start-instance.1 and
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~jschauma/615A/ec2-backup.1 -- view them using
nroff(1), for example:

nroff -man ec2-backup.1 | more


Please don't hesitate to start to at least _think_ about the assignment
and send any questions to this list.

Thanks!
-Jan

P.S.: Please think about your presentation or research topic!  I need
you all to have decided on (and have discussed with me) a topic by the
21st.
