  • Assignment -2: Submission

    Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Friday 03 June 2016, 05:46:32 AM.

    Before you submit your Assignment-2 (ass2), please check your "sturec" on Webcms3 and make sure that your group name is listed against the field "ass2grp", see this example .

    • Please DO NOT submit Assignment-2 if you do not find the field "ass2grp" in your "sturec" or your group name is not stored as shown in the example above .
    • If your group name is properly stored in the field "ass2grp", you can now submit your assignment ass2.

    In case you have not created your group, please do so asap, and send me an email. I will try to upload it every few hours today. Before submitting, follow the above instructions.

  • Assignment-2 : test files!

    Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Thursday 02 June 2016, 12:43:30 PM.

    As we discussed earlier in the lecture, in this assignment I wanted you to learn how to develop software for a given specification, importantly, without any supporting files to startup your assignment work and test your answers. As a software developer, you need to be independent in this regard and be able to develop software for given a problem statement/specification. This is what you will face in real world, no one will offer you initial framework and nicely designed test cases. In order to help you learn this we have already spent reasonable amount of time in the lectures and I am offering many consultation hours (will also offer some next week). However, in the last few days I am learning that some students are “desperate” to check their answers against expected answers, and strongly requesting tutors to release few test cases. I wonder if you could similarly ask your essay to be partially evaluated before submitting ;-) Well, I have now decided to release a few test cases for Part-1A and Part-3. Happy coding! I hope you learn from this experience and become independent and proactive in your approach, if you have any problems, see me in consultation hours. Please see change log in the specs .
