// APS101, Winter 2009: Lecture 16 (Feb. 12) // // The official marks for A1 and the Midterm have been posted on Blackboard. // Take a look at the A1 solution, and the tester class (available on the course website). // Also, take a look at the Midterm solutions (see Blackboard announcement for the link). // // This is the last lecture before Reading Week. // (there will be no lectures/tutorials/labs during reading week). // // The Assignment 2 description will be posted soon. Try to get started on it early. // // NOTES ON ASSIGNMENT 1 // // 1) Make sure to follow the assignment specifications exactly. // (i.e. spell all method names correctly, and make sure to have the right // number, type, and order of parameters for all methods). // // 2) For methods like carInfo and driverInfo (i.e. toString() methods), make sure to // follow the format given. Even if you're off by just one character (such as " "), // the resulting String value is incorrect. // // 3) For the sign-off statement, a lot of you handed in files with extensions like .docx // or .odt. In the future, please keep the sign-off file as a .txt file (i.e. "signoff.txt"). // NOTES ON THE MIDTERM // // - Overall, the avergage was quite high (for a 1st year Computer Programming midterm). // // - Suprisingly, Q3 was not the worst question. On average, the worst marks were on Q2. // This means that you guys need more practice writing your own classes ON PAPER. // // - The problem with Q3 was that it was confusing, because the class, variable, and method names // were not descriptive at all. So, when you're writing your own programs, make sure to // have descriptive class/variable/method names (otherwise your code will look like Q3!). // // HAVE A GREAT READING WEEK!
