Final grades/summaries are posted on the server.

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Here's the stuff I did in class on Thursday and Monday. It's a little unfinshed... but you get the ideas.

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Please show up to class today for evaluations... those that do will receive extra "Karma" on their grades... Tell your friends.

Pizza willnotbe served.

For those of you that love What if? scenarios, here's a mini version of the code I'm using for the grade calculations.

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Up-to-date summaries are posted on the server. Here are the stats:
Max97.99
Mean72.07
Median71.91

And here's the results of running this function... What is it good for?
(define (borders log)
  (local ((define (skip n log)
            (cond [(= n 0) log]
                  [else (skip (sub1 n) (rest log))]))
          (define (doit n log)
            (cond [(>= n (length log)) '()]
                  [else (cons (list-ref log n)
                              (doit n (skip n log)))])))
    (doit (ceiling (/ (length log) 5)) log)))
          
(check-expect (borders grades)
              (list 84.59 72.58 67.48 63.50))

Here's the game lecture code. Add to it (or at least think about what we should add) for Wednesday.


Sunday, April 6th, 2008

HW 11 may be submitted late at a point reduction of (at least) 15% depending on when you submit. I will not accept any HWs later than Wednesday, April 9th @ 6:00pm.

If you submitted ontime and feel it will help your grade more than 15% to resubmit... then you are free to do so, but the latest submission will be graded and have reductions applied.

Why the reduction?
  • Others in the class have worked hard to submit ontime
  • You've had (more than) 2 weeks to complete the assignment
  • Assuming you completed HW-8 correctly, this was just a few simple additions
  • The reason the due date is early is because I need to grade all of them before grades are due.

Friday, April 4th, 2008

For anyone not in class on Thursday... HW 11 is now due Saturday (4/5) @ 8:00 pm.

Here's recent lecture code:


Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

There has been a few people sick, and probably recovering from our midterm and others. I'm feeling nice ;) so I will leave the submission server open until after class on Thursday.

Hopefully that will help all of you polish your programs and you'll all get 100% right?

Also, HW #8 is posted; due the Wednesday after Spring Break. It shouldn't take you that long, but look it over so you can think about it in your spare time.

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Exam grades are posted on the HW Server. We will hand back the tests tomorrow in class.

Tonights Lecture Code:

I made a few changes. Look at the function 'dir-append' to see how I keep the directions from the keyboard in the right order. Once they're in the correct order, you can make Etch-a-sketch like drawings


Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Exam schedule is posted Here. Accessible from the left menu as well.

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Here's yesterday's lecture code.


Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Here's most of yesterday's lecture code. I quickly implemented a limited frogger last night, so maybe we'll do that next lecture.

Try to think about how you would do it?


Monday, February 4th, 2008

I've been informed that the due date on the assignment page is incorrect... it's been updated. Assignment #4 is due Wed. the 6th at 6:00 pm.

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Grades for assignments 1 and 2 are posted on the HW server. If I did not recieve your HW then the grade will read no-submission... if you don't think this should be the case then email me.

Also, please check to make sure that the grades match.

I made a few adjustments and simplified a little. Look it over... enjoy!


Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I've compiled a class list... if you're not on it please send me an email. Oh, and Assignment 4 is posted.

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Here's the broken code from tonight's lecture. I removed all the magic so everything might make a little more sense.

For a better discussion of vectors see this.


Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Here's tonight's lecture. I changed a few of the functions to make them smaller.

Please look over the code and try to write the "update-dirs" function for class on Monday. Fooling around with the code will teach you more than you can learn by watching it in class.


Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Here's tonight's lecture. I added a little extra, so take a look.

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Assignment #3 is now posted; due Wednesday, 1/30

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Here's touched up code from tonight's lecture. DrScheme crashed before I could save it... but programs are usually better the second time you write them.

Here's my best image... see what you can do.


Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Here's touched up code from tonight's lecture. I'll try to post interesting code here as our collective knowledge gets more complicated.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Because of the Snow and University closing, Bring your HW #1 to hand in after class on Wednesday. Also, HW #2 is posted and due a week from Wed.

Friday, January 11th, 2008

The Class has moved to 110 Kariotis (#35 on map)

The room is much roomier... ironically.


Monday, January 7th, 2008

I was asked in class what characters can be used for variable/function names? From the DrScheme documentation for R5RS (a Scheme standard):

Extended alphabetic characters may be used within identifiers as if they were letters. The following are extended alphabetic characters:

! $ % & * + - . / : < = > ? @ ^ _ ~

In other words... a-z, A-Z, and the characters above can begin a name. After the first character, you can use numbers too.
