These scores will be released shortly later today. <div>
</div><div>Also, chess grades for the non-extra credit part should have been also updated along with all the rest of your scores for the course. Because some people did not follow the exact protocol (making groups or submitted from their partner's account) it is possible that the TAs may have misallocated points between members. If this is the case or the case of any other misgrade please let your respective TA know right away. Additionally, now would be a good time to check with your TAs if you might have missing grades for the recent assignments.</div><div>
</div><div>Good luck in preparing for the finals!</div><div>

</div><div>In addition to your frontdesk tested version:</div><div>Submit your bot version in the new ChessBotHandin assignment at the same due date as the unittested version. The due dates for your handins remain as they were. Like always, you can use up to two late days for this assignment, if you have late days remaining. <b>We will look for cheating</b>. We will collect your scores at the midnight of the date you submit. You can view your current scores as well as the field of results at this page: </div><div><a href="http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/211/chess-results.html">chess-results</a></div><div>
</div><div>For the competition pool:</div><div>The competition pool will reset along with your rank at the midnight (barring unforeseen conflict with the server) between Friday and Saturday, and you will have two days to compete(you must opt in to the competition) for extra credit. At the end of the two days, if you competed, you must submit your competition bot to a new assignment which we will create(this will be the third thing you submit, although it may be the same content as your ChessBotHandin). Remember that the standard cheating policy applies and that <b>we will check your chess bots</b>. </div><div>

I apologize for a late notice. Because of this confusion, we are extending the due date for the SocialNet assignment by 3 days. The new due date will be Nov. 20th 11:59PM. (A gentle reminder that I have office hours on Nov. 20th from 3:00PM-5:00PM, so please come by for a last minute help or debugging.)<br/><br/>Note that there are only 4 really basic public tests, and more complicated tests are hidden. If you wrote good JUnit tests and submitted them to FrontDesk, you would be able to release some private test results based on the quality of the tests you wrote. The button for this functionality can be found at the bottom of the submission result page as "Release Private Tests". Basically, it shows if there's any hidden test that your program fails. You can repeat fixing the problem and submitting the program again to see the result, but please be warned there is a limit in the number of tests that can be released in a day, and you can be banned for a while if you try to submit too many times within a short period of time.<br/><br/>As always, you must write your own robust test cases to make sure your program work correctly, and it is a part of the assignment. One general tip for writing good test cases is to try to come up with all the possible usage cases for the classes and the methods including edge cases like illegal arguments. If you are uncertain about how your program should behave for a certain situation, for example, write a JUnit test and submit it to see what happens against the staff code.Dong Bae Junhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03865319344313918567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300121478145551847.post-70455327378444638032011-11-14T22:48:00.002-05:002011-11-14T22:54:57.362-05:00Dong Bae's Office Hours Changed This Week Only<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">I will be out of town this Friday, so my office hours will be held on Sunday Nov. 20th 3:00PM - 4:00PM at Gates 4122.

Specifically, we used the wrong values for the programming portion of snakes. If you did substantially better (resp. worse) on the programming portion of snakes than on expression trees, then your midsemester grade will be higher (resp. lower) than the one on the HUB. If you did about the same on both assignments, your grade probably won't change. Sorry for the mistake. You can come to my office hours on Thurs if you want to see if your grade changed.Christopher Langmeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06316266953433834723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300121478145551847.post-60148454479265557492011-10-25T20:22:00.003-04:002011-10-25T20:26:14.215-04:00Office Hours ShortenedI have to give a presentation tomorrow at 7:00 pm.
