Project Scale

posted Apr 29, 2012, 2:37 PM by Sophie Engle

The syllabus and project pages have been updated to reflect the new project grading scale.

Project Hints

posted Apr 22, 2012, 10:47 PM by Sophie Engle

Some of the project hints were not consistently visible (due to a bug when moving nested pages from one permission level to another). That issue has now been fixed.

Project 4 Submission

posted Apr 22, 2012, 6:12 PM by Sophie Engle

If you make it to Project 4, but not quite in time for a turnaround in grading, you can still work on the final project. I'll take a look at both projects during your interactive grading session.

This should give you a little breathing room for your Project 4 submission. The final project is essentially adding a web interface to Project 4, and many of your homework assignments will be directly applicable to these projects.


Final Project Signup

posted Apr 22, 2012, 6:08 PM by Sophie Engle

Your last project will be graded interactively. Do not forget to signup for an interactive grading session! If you do not signup for an interactive grading session, you forfeit your last project grade. For example, if you completed up to project 3 but do not go through interactive grading, your project 3 grade will be converted to a 0.

Sign up for an interactive grading session at this link. You will have to browse to finals week to see the appointments.

Quick MySQL Access

posted Apr 22, 2012, 5:09 PM by Sophie Engle

Add the following to your .bashrc file in your home directory:

function sql() { mysql -h sql.cs.usfca.edu -u $@ -D $@ -p ;}

Then, run the following command:

. .bashrc

(Note the dot preceding the .bashrc command.) Now, you should be able to login to MySQL quickly on the lab computers using the command:

sql user??

where user?? is your assigned username. You will be prompted for your password, and your database will be automatically selected. (You won't have to enter "USE user??" when you first login to select your database.)
