Academic Integrity

• What does that mean in programming?• Log into Blackboard and take the test titled

“Applied Computing Course Verification” in Lesson 7

Scenario 1: is this a violation?

• I'm having problems getting started on the assignment. Can I just look at your code?

Scenario 1: Yes it is a violation

• Visual sharing of code is a violation of academic integrity.

Scenario 2: Is this a violation?

• [after class, not during class] I'm having problems understanding the last in class exercise. Can you help me?

Scenario 2: No it is not a violation

• In class exercises are designed for learning! Students should help each other understand these exercises in their entirety

• Working together in the lab on the in class exercises after class is fine.

Scenario 3: is this a violation?

• I'm having problems understanding a method in the Java API. Can you help me?

Scenario 3: Not a violation

• The Java API should be investigated by all students, and students should help each other understand a method using the examples given in the Java API or an in class exercise

• don't use the individual assignment to explain it. [this would be a violation]

Scenario 4: is this a violation?

• I'm having problems compiling my code for the assignment. Can I email the code to you so that you can help me with the compilation errors?

Scenario 4: Yes it is

• Electronic sharing of code for any reason is a violation of the academic integrity policy.

Scenario 5: is this a violation?

• I'm done with the assignment. Are you? Let's compare answers.

Scenario 5: Yes

• The learning objectives of an assignment include testing the correctness of the code. Therefore, comparing answers is considered a violation of the academic integrity policy.

• In addition, answer agreement (even with the published solution) does not mean that the code is correct.

• Logic will always be examined for correctness.

Now we code

• Inside Wiley Plus is an assignment called code completion 1

• Log in and launch it

This is what you will see

We will do “name in a box” as an in class exercise; Face Printer is homework.

Is it a violation of Academic Integrity?

• To help each other with “name in a box” after class?

• To help each other with “face printer” after class?

At school [and only at school]

• Before you run Lab Rat you have to run a .bat file– The port for Lab Rat is in conflict with the port for

the printers– Running this file fixes that conflict– You have to run it every time.

Download the zip from the class portal

.bat file instructions

1. Save the zip file2. Extract it [do not open it]3. Locate it on your machine4. Double click on the file to run it

Click on launch lab rat

Ho humm….

Click run

Click search JDK manually

Browse and pick the directory

It will appear in the list

Next…

Next…

You have a choice; I will download

Pick a spot to download the files; keep track of where you put them

No existing files!!! What?!

Click on open folder and you will have an explore window to put your new file in

This is what happens if you don’t have the file in the correct place

Create the file

Open in notepad and add the class

Add the main method

Write the code – just like when we did the “hello world”

Click next when you are done and it will compile and run your code for you.

Homework

• Finish code completion 1 in Wiley plus
