This will not be on the exam - however, we encourage you to have a look. The code is available in the unit8 directory in ~libe50b. 5/06/09 VIDEOS: The videos of Monday's lecture and section are now available. Please print the slides and documentation before viewing the lecture.     HOMEWORK 8: The final homework was handed out in lecture on Monday and is available in the CoursePack. It will officially be due on May 18th and should be submitted using the number 81. However, if you can submit it before the last weekend, we will do our best to have it graded and returned to you before the final exam.     MIPS HANDOUTS: We have put an additional handout in the CoursePack on MIPS that you may find useful. You may wish to bring along the handout named Appendix A to next week's lecture.     FINAL PROJECTS: Projects are due on Wednesday May 13th by 5:30 PM, and should be submitted electronically using the number 9.
