  On Monday, we will be doing a review for term test 2. I'll be answering **your** questions.

  Term test 2 will be focused on the materials not covered in test 1, i.e. from the begining of greedy algorithm until the end of basic graph algorithms (up to begining of minimum spanning trees). But you may have to know and/or use other stuff learned earlier (like analysis of algorithm, using heaps, PQ's, etc).

• Thr Sept 22: Important announcement for Enginnering students:
  
  "The Undergraduate Engineering programs at the University of Alberta are going to be the subject of a mandatory review process by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board next Fall. As part of this review, we are required to collect samples of all student work in the engineering program. The samples will include marked assignments, marked laboratory reports, marked midterm examinations, and marked final examinations. We will be removing all personal information which may be on the samples used, prior to providing the samples to the CEAB review team, so if your work is it will not be identifiable as yours. The review is an important process to engineering students because, to become a Professional Engineer able to practice in Canada, an engineering degree must be from an accredited program. Engineering programs are reviewed at least every six years to ensure that they continue to meet the standards of the CEAB. If you have any questions or concerns over the CEAB accreditation review, please consult their website or contact Dr. Bruce Cockburn in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering."
