Readings

[1] See Eiffel Syntax and Eiffel Essentials – The Language and Method (24 pages) at the Eiffel getting started page. The getting started page also has a link to videos and other resources on how to use the IDE to start a new project, add new classes and clusters, compile, execute, browse code, use ESpec, use the debugger and use the IDE to document your code. You should master all these tools and concepts in the first week of the course.

This course is work intensive and it is expected that you will be doing at least 10 hours of work per week.

In the first 6 weeks of the course you will need to master many concepts, tools and techniques for later success in the course. The Labs are designed to help you develop the concepts, tools and techniques needed for the Design work in the LabTest, Project and Exam. In order to provide you with help, and if the resources so permit, it is planned that help will be available at the following times:

• In LAS1004/06 (or LAS2056), every Wednesday 5.30pm to 6.30pm. This is a large laboratory (48 seats). EECS3311 students have priority. Students can work on the Project, and a TA is around to provide help. If you do not have a course scheduled at that time, please attend in this slot to work on your Lab and to find help as needed.
• For one-on-one help
  • In SEL (LAS2015), every Monday: 11.30am-1.00pm

You can view your marks here.

You may obtain feedback on your Labs via the command line by doing:

>feedback 3311 Lab2
>feedback 3311 Lab3
>feedback 3311 Lab4
>feedback 3311 Labtest
>feedback 3111 project 

If you have any issues with your grade, print out your feedback, add your name and Prism login, write down clearly and precisely where and what your grading issues are, and hand the feedback to your instructor. This must be done within one week from the date the grades are announced. You may also consult with the TA during office hours for further clarification.

• Common Grading Scheme for Undergradate Faculties

For each grading unit you are assigned a raw mark score that ranks you in the class. Also, you will be provided with a mapping from your raw mark score to a letter grade. The raw mark score is not a grade as it is merely used to rank you in the class (so, e.g. a raw mark score of 76 might be a C, not a B+, after the mapping is applied). The mapping will be supplied to you at the same time that the grading unit is handed back to you. The final grade is computed from the raw mark scores and maps as shown here.

• If you miss the deadline for the Labs, and project then your grade will be an F.

• If you miss the Labtest, your grade will be an F – unless the official York attending physician's statement is filled out and the physician certifies that you were unable to write due to illness at the time of the Labtest. You must present the Physician's statement to the instructor the day after the Labtest. Alternative arrangements for the Labtest will then be made.
  • You are still required to hand in your design document before the scheduled Labtest as this is work that was prepared in the weeks preceding the Labtest. If you are ill and will be submitting a physician's statement, please email the instructor with your design document as a PDF before the start of the Labtest.

• If you miss the exam you will also be required to hand in a physician's statement.

If you want your assignment, Lab, Labtest or Project regraded, then within one week of receiving the feedback do the following:

• Write out precisely and concisely your concerns.
• Staple your written concerns to your feedback document
• Return the above to the instructor within one week of receiving your feedback.
