HAVE A GOOD BREAK!
- You do have to turn in Design Documentation for Assignment #4, just as for other assignments.
- Final lectures for the quarter are posted on the Lecture Notes page. Final exam review is now available at http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu/cs2390/889.html. If you can find the time, please do fill out the CoWeb Survey and mail it to me. http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu/cs2390/888.html
- This is the first quarter in CS2390 where we've had to assign groups, rather than allow people to form their own groups. While group work always involves the risk of someone not pulling their share, it's harder to take when you're forced into a group. The TAs and I have had quite a few complaints about people ignoring the rest of the group. It's hard to balance what is "doing a fair share", but we feel the most sympathy for groups that have members who are not doing ANYTHING.
So, we're instituting a new policy for CS2390 group projects.
- If there is a person in your group whom the rest of the group feels has done NOTHING (not "didn't pull his/her share", literally did NOTHING), the rest of the group should hand in (with their design document) a letter stating the name of the offender, your claim that the offender did NOTHING, and the signatures of the rest of the group.
- I will try to contact the offender via email. If he/she does not respond in 24 hours, or responds with what I judge as a less-than-adequate explanation, the offender will receive a grade of 20 points lower than what the rest of the group gets.
As for turnin on A3, please:
- Mail your code from one of your group members to his or her TA. You may not send to Billy (for example) if none of your group has Billy as a TA.
- Turnin your hardcopy to the same section as the TA that you sent the code to. If you sent your code to Billy, turnin your hardcopy to Billy (Section A) as well.
- 11/16/98, 9:00 am: Lab for tomorrow (Tuesday 11/17/98) is cancelled. Get some sleep.
I've updated Assignment #3 with the Scenarios to use in OOA/D documentation.
- 11/10/98, 4:20: The speaker who was scheduled for tomorrow night is here TODAY!! Extra credit will be given to every 2390 student who comes at 7 o'clock to rm. 17 in CoC. Dr. Peter Wegner is one of the founders of Object Orientated Programming and is a very impressive speaker.
Sorry for the confusion
- 11/6/98, 12 noon: My book is done for as much as I'm going to do this quarter. The UI chapters are posted now. The corresponding lecture notes are up now, too.
- 11/5/98: A new Extra Credit opportunity for 11/11/98 has been added.
- 11/5/98, 2:00 pm: If you're in a group, WORK WITH YOUR GROUP!. You can't do this program alone, and you can't get it done in 48 hours. Students who don't work with their teammates (e.g., who don't answer email, who don't do their fair share of work, who don't show up at meetings) are liable for points deductions.
To help deal with the groupwork, I'm releasing a brand new tool to this class, our first use of it ever. It's called an UploadSwiki and it allows groups to share code, pictures, BOOST files, Word files, etc. I'm hoping that y'all might be able to use it to get further on your projects, even without meetings. See http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu/cs2390/841.html for more details.
Finally, no office hours on Monday 11/9. I'm going to be in Orlando giving a talk.
- 11/4/98, 11:30 am: Sorry for not letting you know earlier: I did change the writeup for Assignment #3 slightly yesterday, to clarify the order in which the other companies purchase things.
- 10/27/98, 3:00 pm: Groups are now posted on Fall 98 - Team page.
- 10/26/98, 1:30 pm: I've updated the Grading Policy page. If you submit something that the TA can't fileIn, she or he will alert you by email. You will have 24 hours to respond to the request with a file that DOES fileIn. If you do not respond, or if the new file does not fileIn, the TA will grade the file by-hand for no more than 10% of the grade.
- 10/22/98, 4:23 pm: I've uploaded the BOOST file for the ATM class example today. Get it from http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu/st/atm.ver.
I sent out grade reports today (actually twice, because I got a bunch immediately after sending the others.) Let your TA know if there are any questions.
- 10/19/98, 9:40 am: I apologize for the screwed up original grade report posting, but do read the second one that you get.
*** End of Currently Reported Grades ***
Please see your TA first if you have any questions.
Means just what it says: I don't have any more grades for you. Bug your TA for the rest of your grades or to ask questions about your grades.
- 10/12/98 1:45 pm: Lots going on. http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu/cs2390/1.html and http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/book/ both have had server upgrades, so they're faster now.
I have also made significant changes to the Class Schedule. The due dates for Assignment #3 and Assignment #4 have been pushed back a bit.
- 10/8/98 2:45 pm: There is a new resource for 2390 students. Donia Bigalk has dumped ALL of the source code for Squeak 2.2 to a Swiki. This way, you can do searches on it, and even comment up code. You can find it at http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/api.
- 10/7/98: You can send your Assignment #1 code any way you want: Attatchment, fileOut, copy/paste. Just as long as your TA can process it.
- 10/5/98: 5:37pm There is a problem in using the Squeak 2.2 file list on Windows if you try to access the top level of a volume (i.e., it doesn't like the directory name "C:\"). There is a fix. To fix the file directory problem, file in the code located at http://sigep.gt.ed.net/DosFileDirectory.st
- 10/5/98: When turning in labs, be sure to use the correct format:
"LabX, StudentNumber, Section" We are using an automated turnin system and that format is required.
- 10/1/98 3:00 pm: I just added more hints to Assignment #1 for those who are going to start it this weekend.
- 9/29/98 12:15 pm: WE HAVE A TA FOR SECTION B! All four sections are now covered. WHEW!
