Emails on the mailing list after the exam!

Hi Prof.,

Could you bring to class the left over Homework 4s (and some candies to cheer people up [Good one!])

Thank you,
Student

If any of you are feeling bad - please know that the questions from Tommi Jaakkola (last 2)[70% of the total grade!!!!!!!] I borrowed from the class he teaches to MIT grad students... The exam was designed to be challenging, since most of you are nailing the homeworks, so there is not enough signal in homework grades for me to tell who really understands what. I realise time was short[!] That's life[!!! In other words: I am totally allowed to screw you since God has already done this by creating you!!!] Next time [for other people!!!], maybe I'll give a take home exam instead.

Prof.


P.S.1) I was neither the student nor the Prof! I have just added the stuff in square brackets!
P.S.2) I would really like to reply on this email and say Thanks prof., that really helped! but I can't!
P.S.3) Altogether I really like this prof. I don't know why!

Does he ever know what screwing means? Being in the nicest city of the world, being his own boss, making good money, enjoying life ...
At least he should shut up :D

تا حالا شده وقتى يه برنامه مينويسى نگران اين باشى كه برنامت ارور ميده. نگران شدن از ديد برنامت، يعنى برنامت به يه مشكلى بر خورده، مثلا در يك لوپ بينهايت گير افتاده. و تو مى خواى مشكل اونو حل كنى. يا اينكه وقتى برنامه درست كار كنه خوشحاليت از اين باشه كه برنامه ديگه مشكلى نداره، نه از اينكه تو مشكلش رو حل كردى.

منم فكر نميكنم اهميتى داشته باشه اينكه چند بار برنامه هنگ كنه يا به ارور بده يا باگ داشته باشه يا هر بلاى ديگه اى كه سرش بياد.
