Java Project Marking Rubric

1

Technical

Code works without errors

All functions work properly

Read me or other documentation created to help marking

Code works without errors

Some functions may not work as conceived but do not generate errors.

No documentation

Errors are in logic but do not cause computer to crash

Major errors

GUI & User Experience

GUI is fully implemented

Design is thoughtfully created (Layout, fonts & color scheme)

User experience is smooth

GUI is fully implemented but lacks in a smooth experience and/or design

GUI is partially implemented, supplemented with non-GUI

Or

Major flaws in design or lack of thought in design

GUI is uses sparingly.

Complexity

Program juggles multiple instance classes.

A variety of grade 12 algorithms are used to implement complex menu options.

A variety of advanced GUI concepts are implemented

Text Files effectively used for long term storage.

Program uses a variety of classes.

Program is sufficiently complex

Program is insufficiently complex for a CS30 project.

  2. Complete one of the student designed projects (to be shown below)

Show Students Projects from last year (in notShared folder)

Announce Timeline

We need a type of ‘test’ to end the credit.  What do you suggest?

Ask for Arduino volunteer(s) for open house

Class 13-15 - With Sub

Class 12 - Tuesday, Feb 20

Prepare them for the sub by walking through the timeline

  1. Finish the Arduino 6 - Sensor Demo, including the poster.  Please also create a video of it in action to show me when I return.
  2. Arduino 7 - Mr. Piano Man

Arduino Reminders

LEDs - long lead goes to positive (usually to the Pin), short to the resistor

Remember to use the 'Green-Blue-Brown' resistor for the LED

Work time - Finish Assignment 2 and start assignment 3

Tomorrow we will continue work on Infographic

Class 3 - Monday, Feb. 5 - With Sub

Prep:

Activity 1: Information Highway Infographic (40 minutes)

Have them open the assignment via Google Classroom.  You can access the instructions here.

You are going to give them about 40 minutes to work on it.  They are to aim to complete all of Section 1 and to start on Section 2 during this time.

Activity 2: Arduino Assignment and Video

Have them open the assignment called Arduino Assignment 4 - About the Board via Google Classroom. You can access it here.

Before they begin the assignment itself, watch this video with them.  Warn them that it is quite dry but it is only 6 minutes and some of the answers in the Component Table (end of first page) are discussed directly in the video.  They may want to record the answers at that time.

Video: Youtube - Arduino Uno tutorial Basic microcontroller overview - Linked here

They are to work on Arduino Assignment 4 for the remainder of the class.  If they finish early, tell them to continue working on Assignment 2 which most started but did not finish on Friday.
