Flexibility Week

- Friday from 2pm to 4pm at June Griffith M10.
- These will be extension material on range query data structures, DP optimisations and the Fast Fourier Transform.
- Echo360 live stream and recording will be enabled.
- We’ll also be holding help sessions immediately after those lectures.
- Tuesday 6pm to 8pm at CSE Help (K17 G05)
- Friday 4pm to 6pm, location TBC
- Some tutors and I will be there to help you with the problem sets and any other questions you may have.

Wednesday week 5 labs moved online
Tomorrow’s labs will also be conducted online on Blackboard Collaborate, accessed via Moodle.
-
Tuesday week 5 consultation and lecture moved online
There is a severe weather warning in place across Sydney tomorrow, as high winds are anticipated. Therefore it has been recommended that classes be moved online tomorrow so that we can all avoid commuting in dangerous conditions.
- Tomorrow’s consultation will be held on Blackboard Collaborate from 2pm to 3pm.
- Tomorrow’s lecture will be held on Blackboard Collaborate from 4pm to 8pm.
- I will spend extra time on the lecture tomorrow as we are behind schedule, and being online we may as well catch up now rather than pushing into flexibility week.
- There will be more substantial breaks than usual, particularly around 6pm.
You can access Blackboard Collaborate from the course Moodle page. It is newly added under ‘Tuesday Week 5’.
Problem set 5 will be released tomorrow as usual, and at this stage we expect labs and workshops will continue as scheduled for the rest of this week.

vjudge Outage Resolved
Several students experienced errors when submitting to vjudge in the last 48 hours. Fortunately, these errors appear to have resolved, so you should be able to continue submitting your problem set solutions.

Contest 1 Embargo
Most students have now finished Contest 1. However, a few students will be undertaking it late, so please do not discuss the problems publicly until Friday.
-
Contest 1 Scoreboard
You can now view the scoreboard for Contest 1. The rankings themselves are largely a function of who stayed up late on Friday night or started on Saturday morning, but it provides useful information on which problems have been solved more than others (i.e. considered easier by your peers).

Contest 1 Reminder
Contest 1 starts in a few minutes. Please review the information on the course website. You can access the contest on CMS, using the credentials that were emailed to you earlier this week. Good luck!
