The midterm is scheduled from 5:00-6:30 pm on Wednesday, March 1, 2017. The three sections will be divided among multiple rooms. See Piazza for details.
The final exam will be held on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 (the day after the Easter long weekend) at 19:00-21:30 (i.e., 7:00-9:30 PM) in SRC A, B, and C. There is some construction in the area, so give yourselves a little extra time to get there. Unless they've changed things in the last few months, enter from the north side.
Labs begin on Monday, January 9, 2017.
Lab sessions are listed underneath the calendar below.
Office hours will be posted on the schedule here.
Unless otherwise specified, all TA office hours are in the Demco Learning Centre (ICCS X150), which is near the Reboot Café on the bottom floor of the X-wing of the Computer Science building.
The office hour schedule is subject to change, and the office hour schedule for a week might not be finalized until the week before. Use the arrows below to change what week you're viewing.

Is the Course Full?
Lecture Sections. As of January 11, 2017, there are about 70 seats empty in Lecture Sections 203, and a small number in Sections 201 and 202.
Full Lab Sections, or if there is a wait list for the lectures: If you're trying to enroll in this course, or audit it, or change into a lab or lecture section that's actually full, please go to the Computer Science main office (ICCS Room 201). They control all wait lists, and except for unusual circumstances, they follow a queue based on when a student registered according to the following priorities: (a) Computer Science degree students first, (b) students from other degree programs needing CPSC 221 as part of their graduation requirements (this includes Computer Engineering (CPEN) students), and (c) all others. In each case, you need to have the prerequisites (or equivalent); if not, you will be dropped from the course. If you want more information about how wait lists work in the Department of Computer Science, check the following link.
In the past, when we had multiple sections, we encouraged students to attend any or all sections, if they found it helpful. Similarly, if someone missed his/her lab section, we would recommend attending any other lab section that week. Please do not do so this term. We expect to be fairly full, with wait lists, and we need to give the officially enrolled students priority in their lab sections. Later in the term, after people drop, we might be able to allow some flexibility, but unless/until your instructor announces it, please attend only your registered lecture and lab sections.
Note that help with your current lab-work is available from TAs during their scheduled Office Hours, as will be posted on the Course Calendar.
If you do miss one of your scheduled lab sessions, see Missed Lab for how to get the work graded that was due in that session.
