Here are some important things to note about it: ­ The raw points are out of 200, which are normalized to 100 in the final total. Thus, the ``weight'' of any requirement is actually 1/2 of the value shown in the raw points. ­ Even though only a few grading items refer to the database directly, a DB was required for this assignment and if you did not use one (ex: if you used files as in Assignment 2) you will lose most of the credit on the functionality items, whether they specifically refer to the DB or not. ­ As with Assignment 2, some of the items are interdependent. For example, the ``login handled correctly'' points depend on cookies being used. Therefore, if you do not use cookies you could be penalized in several places. This could hold in other aspects of the assignment as well. ­ Note the scores for the demonstration. Make sure you are prepared when you do your demo. Be especially ready to answer any questions Weijia might have about your code. · Remember that Quiz 2 will be given during recitation this week http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~ramirez/cs1520/announce.html#dummyThunderbirdRSSBugWorkaround_0c10dfe4a7423af484aa15fd11261e42 · The demo sign-up page is back online (see below for link).

The quiz will include the following types of questions: · True / False and Fill in the Blanks - many / most of these questions are taken directly from lecture notes. · Short Answer - also largely taken from notes, but will require explanation / comparison / discussion. · Traces - Java and/or PHP code that you must either show the output for or explain something about · Coding - Code that you will be asked to write - either a complete (short) program or part of one http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~ramirez/cs1520/announce.html#dummyThunderbirdRSSBugWorkaround_acb0b950b5721994e882e92faaca7b8d · I have put the grading rubric for Assignment 1 online. Here are some things to note about it: ­ The raw points are out of 200, which are normalized to 100 in the final total. Thus, the ``weight'' of any requirement is actually ½ of the value shown in the raw points. ­ The total raw points for the ``Version B'' is 180, which normalizes to 90, as specified in the assignment. ­ If you opt to try the ``Rules of Checkers'' section and still implement the add / remove checker section in Version B, you can count the add / remove checker as extra credit (10 raw points normalized to 5 extra credit points). However, you still cannot receive more than 10 total extra credit points, regardless of what you do. · As mentioned in lecture yesterday, Quiz 1 will be given during recitation on Tuesday, June 8, 2010. · Remember that Exam 1 will be given during lecture on Tuesday, June 22, 2010. http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~ramirez/cs1520/announce.html#dummyThunderbirdRSSBugWorkaround_6df4c54e30ef4a16110d6dd75c859779 Welcome to CS1520 for the Summer 2010 Term (2107). For the first part of the course we will be using Java. We will concentrate on some advanced Java topics, and will devote little if any time to basic and intermediate Java concepts. Note that it is assumed that all students in this course are already mid-level Java programmers. However, if your Java is rusty, I suggest either obtaining the (optional) Java text (Learning Java by Niemeyer and Knudsen, O'Reilly Publisher) and reading the first 7 chapters or reviewing the Java online documentation (for example, the Java Tutorial). Focus primarily on object-oriented programming concepts and secondarily on graphical components.
