IBCS2 - 1415 - September

From WLCS

Monday - Tuesday (9/29/14 - 9/30/14)

Agenda:

  • Two-Dimensional Array Assignment
    1. Write a function: matrixAdd(m1, m2) that returns a new matrix that is the sum of m1 and m2
      • Be sure to check if the two matrices are the same size (if not, then return null)
    2. Write a function: fliplr(m) that returns a new matrix that is the horizontal flip (left to right) of matrix m
    3. Write a function: flipud(m) that returns a new matrix that is the vertical flip (up to down) of matrix m
    4. Write a function: matrixMult(m1, m2) that returns the product of matrix m1 and m2
      • Be sure to check the rules of matrix multiplication
      • Return an null matrix if their sizes are different
  • Challenge: Write the function det(m) which returns the determinant of any matrix m

Thursday - Friday (9/25/14 - 9/26/14)

Agenda:

  • Two-Dimensional Arrays and Nested Loops
    1. Accessing all of the individual elements of a two-dimensional list
    2. Prompt the user to construct a two-dimensional list
      1. Prompt for the number of rows
      2. Prompt for the number of columns
      3. Prompt the user for each number in the two-dimensional list
    3. Write the function matrixPrint(m)
  • Two-Dimensional Array Assignment

  • 2-D array deep copying
import copy
m2 = copy.deepcopy(m1)
  • Write a function: fliplr(m) that returns a new matrix that is the horizontal flip (left to right) of matrix m
  • Write a function: flipud(m) that returns a new matrix that is the vertical flip (up to down) of matrix m

Tuesday - Wednesday (9/23/14 - 9/24/14)

Agenda:

Friday - Monday (9/19/14 - 9/22/14)

Warmup:

  1. Create a 2-3 person group
  2. Take some (~6) playing cards
  3. Lay them out randomly in a row (out of order)
  4. As a team, discuss an algorithm to sort them
  5. You are only allowed to swap cards (i.e. they cannot be removed or added to a new array)
  6. Sort them in numerical order (Ace is high)
  7. Write down the basic steps to your algorithm

Agenda:

Friday - Wednesday (9/5/14 - 9/10/14)

Warmup:

  • Turn in signed syllabus sheet if you have it
  • Submit Internal Assessment Criteria A & B via Google Classroom

Agenda:

  • Media:SystemDesignBasics.pptx
  • Internal Assessment discussions
  • Usability Assignment
    1. Sign into your APS Google account
    2. Open a Google Doc and title it Usability Assignment
    3. Put your name at the top
    4. Use Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics
    5. Find 2 examples of good usability
      1. Take a screenshot or find a picture of the example
      2. Paste it into the Google Doc
      3. Point out or highlight the specific usability aspect somehow (in red or bright green are best)
      4. State which usability rule the example is following, and describe how it follows it
      5. Repeat for each of the 2 examples of good usability (each example should be a different usability rule)
    6. Find 2 examples of bad usability
      1. Take a screenshot or find a picture of the example
      2. Paste it into the Google Doc
      3. Point out or highlight the specific usability aspect failure (in red or bright green are best)
      4. State which usability rule the example is breaking, and describe how it breaks it
      5. Repeat for each of the 2 examples of bad usability (each example should be a different usability rule)
    7. Submit the document through Google Classroom
