2008 Review Sessions (10/13-10/19)

(Given roughly in the order of the actual comps date this year)

Please update this list rather than the one below that is stolen from last year.

Note: We plan on meeting in Gates 260 for all of the review sessions. If 260 is occupied, then everyone can meet there and then find an alternate place (the 4B area in Gates is probably a safe bet).

Weekly Saturday Meetings

Another group is meeting weekly on Saturdays. The next meeting is at 3pm coming Saturday at Gates 260 (continues from the AI session above). Topics covered are as follows (order may turn out to be different):

Programming Languages lyang

Algorithms mcfchan

Networks huangty

Databases (SQL) pflam@cs

Study Group Sign-ups (stolen from last year's page):

Please bold your name next to the test name below if you feel able to help lead a review session on the topic (that is, you're not just rolling the dice on the test ;))

Maybe 2 to 3 group leaders per test?

Note: The subject links below are to the old (2005?) pages. Once group leaders are assigned to each test, pages might be updated with current group members, meeting times, etc.
