FAQs
This is a one-term class which will consist of four lessons (each with a homework and extra credit), and a final. You can earn one quill and 300 points in the term, as per the HOL rules.
When is the work due?
All homework and extra credit will be due at the end of the month they're related to. The final will be due on January 15th 2013 (and will be available for at least 1 full month).
When will I get my points?
I will be aiming to grade and submit points on a monthly basis. I will only grade as far as the month we're currently at - e.g. I will not grade HW/EC 3 until the end of November! I will update HERE when I submit points. I also intend to update the class forum.
Can I get an extension?
If you want an extension, you should request one HERE before the assignment is due. The extension will give you until the end of the next month to complete the assignment. You can get extensions for both HW and EC. If for some reason the site is down or if you require a longer extension for some reason, please e-mail [email protected] or discuss it with me on IRC.
How do I pass the class? How do I earn a quill?
In order to pass the class and earn your quill you must earn at least 150 points and pass the final (obtain at least 50%).
Are there any class awards?
There are two awards given in this class: Code Master (CC1) and Creative Codebreaker (CC1). The Code Master Award is given to those earning full points in the class whilst having been organised with their work and generally having impressed me by the standard of their homework. The Creative Codebreaker Award can be given for a number of reasons - from students who have simply amused me in their homeworks to those who I know have put in a lot of work to pass the class. Each award can be given to multiple students, it simply depends on the students taking the class each term.
