Lecture 17 - Announcements / Notes

Announcements

• Week 7 feedback:

  • Big theme: POTDs are getting tough

• POTD 16 has been extended to Friday night

• POTD 17 still due Wednesday (Monday is a holiday!)

• Thanks to those who submitted exam wrappers! I wrote a brief reply to each of you. Some additional feedback that surfaced:

  • Not-entirely-straightforward math on p2.py (the interest calculations)
  • Prompts were long - understanding the problem took valuable time
  • Implementation strategy tip:
    • Some parts fully correct is better than all parts almost correct
    • Run the tests early and often

• Exam 3 is Friday.

  • Same deal as usual, except lab assignments have been updated to:

    CRN	Lab period	Exam Location
    20648	M 12-2	CF 164
    20550	W 10-12	CF 165
    20551	W 12-2	CF 167

    • CRN 20551 - previously took exams in KB 307 - is now in CF 167

  • Practice exam is still available. Anyone done it? How’d it go?
