PS8 Submissions
For Option J, just create a zip file of your aazda/src/aazda directory that includes all the files you edited and your answers at the top level (not in a subdirectory). Submit this using the Alonzo-bot server.
For Option C/W, submit your artifact by posting a comment to this post. Your comment should include:
- a full list of your team (normal names, not email IDs)
- a description of your target audience
- the actual artifact, or a link to it. If it is not possible to post your actual artifact (e.g., it uses a medium such as cake that cannot be easily transmitted over HTTP), you should instead post a description of your artifact (including pictures is usually a good idea).
- if necessary, a poetic license statement. If there is anything in your artifact that you are aware is not completely correct technically, you may include a statement explaining where you took poetic license.
Updates:
Both options are due by 7:59pm on Monday. If you have something you want to turn in on paper, you can do that in class Monday, but there is no need to turn anything in on paper for either option.
For the comments, you can only post plain text with a few html tags and links. Since most of you will want to post a more complex document like a PDF file, the way to do that is to use a link. A link is:
<a href="URL">label for the link</a>The URL is the location where your artifact is posted. You can post your file at http://people.virginia.edu/UVa ID/file by copying it into your public_html directory. There are also lots of free external sites that you can use for posting such as YouTube and Vimeo (for movies), Flickr (for pictures), SlideShare (for sharing PowerPoint presentations), Scribd (for PDF documents), Google Docs (for sharing other kinds of documents), and Google Sites (for creating web pages). (Sadly, I do not yet know of any external site for sharing cakes, but hopefully someone is working on this!) The advantage of using one of the commercial sites instead of your UVa account, is that unlike the UVa account, the commercial site will continue to work even after you graduate. The disadvantage of the commercial site, is that its a commercial site and may put advertisements, etc. around your work.
I would encourage you to learn some way to post your materials on the web, but if you aren't able to figure out a good way to post your artifact yourself, the other option is to email it to me.
PDF 
When I tried to submit my .zip file, I got this message: “Your zipfile appears to be a directory, containing the files in subdirecotires. The tester will attempt to continue, but if there are problems please instead submit a zipfile that just contains all your source files at the top-level, not in any subdirectories.” But then below this message, it shows that all the tests were able to be run on my code even with this problem, so I am unsure if I should still try to submit ps8 again, this time without using a subdirectory. Or would that only be necessary if the tests were not able to be run? Thank you!
If you pass all the tests, it is not necessary to resubmit — congratulations!
(I modified the server to deal with the most common way people are putting their files in a subdirectory, so that’s why it tried to keep going when the files are in the taazda directory and should still work even if you get the warning message.)
Our submission is The Game of Ada for learning grammar rules: PDF
a. Sarah Cole, Odette Kassar, Irma Corado, Hannah Beattie
b. Our target audience was CS1120 students with some knowledge of course topics who are reviewing for an exam.
c. We developed a fun, interactive study game for students to play. The link to it is posted above.
If this is our formal submission for option C/W, is there a specific time when this post is due? PS8 Part 2 is due at 7:59 PM on the 5th, so should we assume that all submissions are due at that time?
Yes, the option C/W submissions should be posted by that time also.
How do we load a powerpoint?
Our target audience is for people with low levels of computer science knowledge (or lingo) who are interested in the computer scientists that shape our world today.
(cake to come)
I added some updates above about how to post your artifacts. For PowerPoint, you might want to try using SlideShare.net or just posting the PPT and PDF files in your public_html directory so you can link to them at http://people.virginia.edu/eem9db/file.
