CS 211: Introduction to Object Oriented Programming

For Snyder's sections, I've recorded your final exam scores on blackboard, as well as separate columns for the two sections (zip grade, coding). There was a 2 point curve to bring the average to 75%. You can now plug in all your grades in the grade calculation form (@1380) and calculate your semester score; I need to wait a bit to record things so that any lingering grading questions are resolved. (the cutoff for "pass the final" is 60%, especially since there was a curve).

(For Kauffman's sections, since you took your exam quite recently, it will of course take time to grade! My sections' exams were on Thursday so I had a head start).

It's been a great semester - have a great summer on or off campus, and perhaps we'll meet again in a later course!

Happy Coding,

~Prof. Snyder

CS 211ers: Please disregard my previous post/message concerning the grading sheet and final. It was meant for students in a different class. The grading form for CS 211 is here:

http://cs.gmu.edu/~kauffman/cs211/gradecalc.html

As far as I know, the final exam exam times are as follows

SNYDER
Sec 003 Thu 5/11 10:30-1:15pm
Sec 005/H01 Thu 5/11 1:30-4:15pm

KAUFFMAN
Sec 002 Mon 5/15 10:30am-1:15:pm
Sec 006 Mon 5/15 1:30pm-4:15pm

As you study for the final, you can use the following web form to determine what scores you will need on the final elements of the course to reach your final grade.

Use this to guide your study time.

I will hold my usual office hours Tue 5/9 3-5 pm (today) for those that wish to visit.

I will hold a special session of office hours Thu 5/11 2-4pm for those who want a little extra help prepping for the final exam.

The Kauffman Card bonuses have been posted. Top card earners received the full 3% bonus while those with fewer cards received a proportional bonus. If you feel something is amiss with the bonus, you may contact Prof. Kauffman directly to do a recount of your cards.

To facilitate calculating your standing in the course and enable you to plan for the last deliverables, you can use the following web form to help compute the scores needed to achieve your target grade.

Post 1369 identified some errors in IterativeCrawlerTests.java which have been corrected. Download the fresh copy here:

IterativeCrawlerTests.java

A number of students are reporting wild errors associated with Jsoup and ArrayList incompatibilities. If you are seeing strange Virtual Machine errors that look like the below, read on.



While we haven't figure out why this is happening, here is how to work around the problem. Adjust the line in which Jsoup is used to gather links from an html document to use the Elements class. This class functions exactly like ArrayList so this should be the only change necessary. See below.

//ArrayList<Element> links = doc.select("a[href]"); // BUGGED VERSION
Elements links = doc.select("a[href]"); // WORK-AROUND VERSION
text_editor.run_code_snippet
text_editor.run_code_dismiss×

According to the Jsoup documentation for Elements (found here) it is a child class of ArrayLis<Element> but there seems to be some disagreement between the compiler and runtime system on some platforms concerning that compatibility.
