First 3 exercises (non-assessed) released + some state exercises

Posted by Raphael Douglas Giles Monday 01 July 2024, 07:08:24 PM.

Hey everyone,

I've just posted the first 3 exercises. They're available under in the Activities section of the webcms page as many things in this course are.

These are not assessed, they're just meant for some practice so you can hone your haskelling skills.

As with the assessed stuff, you will be able to submit these to give, though in this case that's purely for autotesting purposes. However, the give submission is not set up yet as of the time of writing this. I'm not personally handling any of the give stuff so I can't say exactly when that will be up, but I'd say it should be ready within a few of days. When this is up and running there will be an announcement.

I've also made a new Ed workspace called "State exercises". Currently, this has a couple of exercises on the state monad, plus a bit of revision exposition in case that's of interest. In the workspace there are two files, StateExercises.hs and StateExercisesSolved.hs, which are the same file but one of them has the solutions to the exercises filled in. I may add more to this soon if I can think of any more state monad exercises.

Also, I've added some more detailed annotation to the Week4.hs practical file as I often do. I'm mentioning this now even though I do it most weeks because this one is potentially somewhat useful for the exercise, so if you're struggling with that have a look and see if you can glean any inspiration.

Thanks \ Raph

Assessment items

Posted by Paul Hunter Wednesday 26 June 2024, 05:30:25 PM.

Hi all,

The specs for the first major assessment items (Assessed Exercises & Assignment 1) are now available on the course website under Activities . I am still working through setting up the give interface, so for the moment submissions will not work, however you should be able to access the necessary code in order to begin both assessment items.

• The first of three assessed exercise sets is due Friday 12 June, 18:00
• Assignment 1 is due Monday 15 June, 18:00

We have decided that the remaining three "Weekly exercises" originally planned (intended to be released earlier) will instead be released as optional assessments - that is, you can attempt them and submit solutions via give as usual (and receive automarked feedback) but they will not contribute to your final grade. We are currently in the process of setting this up.

Quiz 3 Released!

Posted by Raphael Douglas Giles Monday 24 June 2024, 09:49:13 PM.

Hi everyone,

Quiz 3 is here and is available on the course website under Activities . This quiz assesses content from weeks 4, and is due 6pm on Monday the 8th of July (i.e. Monday week 7). As always, you are encouraged to use Haskell to check/test your answers and you can make multiple submissions. The week 5 practice problems are about to be released as well, so stay tuned for that.

Once I've gotten confirmation that there are no more submissions coming in from students with extensions/special considerations, I'll release your marks for quiz 2 and release another set of answers like those in Ed post #66 .

P.s. Note that I've accidentally set it to be due in flexibility week on Webcms, but Webcms has decided to break my html whenever I try to edit the quiz, so I'll fix the due date on the website during the week (most likely tomorrow).

Thanks \ Raph
