Assignment Demo

H6 Lookup

  • Remember, this is a pair programming assignment:
    • work as one; do not "divide and conquer"
    • switch off "driving" versus "navigating"
    • navigator is active
  • Template Inheritance is not required (but could be useful). It's sufficient to put the form on the main page
  • POST is not required (form should use GET)
  • Redirects are required
  • You'll handle the form submission, possibly redirecting to the authoritative page on a single movie or person.
  • You can look at my HTML; that's allowed.

Mid-Semester Eval

Executive Summary:

  • Overall, we're doing well. Most people are happy with presentation, pace, homework difficulty, etc.
  • I'll show the graphics in another window
  • Many people like the in-class exercises and examples.
  • Some people mentioned that they like the quiz questions and their in-class review
  • Some people mentioned that they like the soft deadlines

Key Points/Suggestions

  • 1 said lectures too fast
  • 1 said homeworks could be more challenging
  • 1 said class session info can be confusing

No real themes. I do appreciate the feedback, and I'll continue to try to improve the course.

  • change quiz time to morning?
    • I can do this, but I worry that it encourages starting the reading at midnight
    • Thoughts?
  • lots want quizzes released earlier
    • sure, I can try to do that.
  • Videos instead?
    • I'm sorry; I don't have time to create videos. Maybe next year.

AI Section

  • Most of you don't use AI much at all!
  • I think that's great. I, too, am a "sparing" user
  • Most often used to debug assignments
  • Most found it helpful.
    • mostly debugging
    • syntax errors
    • understanding error messages
  • AI is unhelpful when it doesn't understand the context (e.g. database tables)

Teams Work on Project Proposal

  • I'm happy to come around and answer questions
  • If you are done, your team can start discussing the Design and Plan
