I put the last OOP exam (June 6) online, see below under Materials. Please ignore the last exercise, it is nonsense.
June 20
The OOP exam is (finally) graded. The results are on the Wailing Wall (anslagstavlan). You can pick up your exam at Sonja’s as usual.
June 12
Mandatory exercise 6 (calendar application) is graded and available from Sonja Hensel. Give her a phone call to see how it went if you live far outside Lund. There is a make-up exercise for this as well: the same exercise with deadline July 1.
May 22
Additional Java notes: [S'].
May 9
Mandatory exercise 6. Some Make-Up exercises.
May 2
Some old exam questions, [ex2], uploaded. See below under Materials.
Apr 23 2003
FP re-exams graded (all six passed with grade ‘G’). New exercise: Hunt the Wumpus! (see the schedule page). Combined both TA groups into one.
Apr 7 2003
Some comments on the FP exam (and even a few solutions!), see under Materials. And the second volume of Schmidt’s book is printed, and available from the secretaries for 180 SEK.
Apr 2 2003
Mandatory exercise 4, deadline Apr 15.
Apr 1 2003
Parent–Teacher meetings (utvecklingssamtal). I want to meet with the parents of those students who received the grade underkänd at the FP exam next Friday, 3 PM, in my office. (Note: cancelled)

Format
The best place to keep up to date for week-by-week information is the
Lectures
| Tue | 10-12(!) | E:1406 | Lecture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wed | 13-15 | E:1406 | Lecture (occasionally) |
| Fri | 13-15 | E:1406 | Lecture |
4 hours per week, sometimes 6 hours per week. The lecturer covers this week’s topics very concisely. Attendance is voluntary.
TA sessions (Övningar)
| Mon | 13-15 | E:3315 | TA Group A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | 13-15 | E:3315 | TA Group B (now the same as Group A!) |
2 hours per week. In class, students discuss a number of exercises that were selected by the lecturer. The class is headed by a teaching assistant. Normally there is no time to solve exercises during the session, so students are expected to have spent a few hours with the exercises beforehand—it is a good idea to do this in groups. This is doubly true of the programming exercises, which you are expected to solve at a computer whenever you find it convenient.
Attendance is voluntary. Attending a TA session unprepared is probably a waste of time: if you want to study for two hours, solve some exercises yourself; if you want to be entertained for two hours, go net-surfing.
Lab sessions (laborationer)
| Wed | 9-12 | E:2119 (alfa) | Grp A1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thu | 9-12 | E:2119 (alfa) | Grp A2 |
| Fri | 9-12 | E:2119 (alfa) | Grp B1 |
| Fri | 9-12 | E:2117 (beta) | Grp B2 |
3 hours per week. A small number of programming exercises is solved under supervision in the computer lab. You may find this entertaining, and may even feel you learned something, but don't expect too much—it is tempting to have the lab assistant solve a problem for you.
Lab attendance is mandatory! However, everybody can miss a lab or two due to exceptional cirumstances like illness. So if you miss a lab (or don’t finish on time) then you can hand in the solution to you lab assistant the following week—but this works only twice during the entire course!
For every lab session, the schedule page tells you what to do every week.
Mandatory programming exercises
During the course, a number of mandatory programming exercises have to be handed in at 13:15 on the day of the deadline. Mandatory exercises are, of course, mandatory.
The schedule page tells you what exercise to do and when.
