• May 13, 2013: Professor Garcia-Molina decided to give credit to everyone who said "yes" or "no" on Question 5(f) of midterm. If your graded exam was marked "-2" on this part, please bring your exam to Wednesday's class (i.e., May 15) and show it to Professor Garcia-Molina after class. Note that, if "-2" was crossed out and "OK" was written, then it is not necessary to show your exam to him. That means he has already given you these 2 points.

• April 1, 2013: Dear CS347 Students: I forgot to mention today that I will be out of town Monday April 8. That lecture will be recorded in advance on Thursday April 4 at 2:15pm in Gates B01. I know many of you will be unable to make it on Thursday, but I would appreciate if some of you can make it, so I do not have to lecture to an empty room. If you cannot make it to the Thursday live showing, you can watch the tape at your convenience. - Hector
