What should MP headers look like?
Almost the same as lab headers.
;; CSC 151.02 (Fall 2020, Term 2)
;; Mini-Project 5

;; Acknowledgements:
;; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HERE
What should citations and acknowledgements look like?
At the top.
;; Acknowledgements:
;; * Sam helped on the broad design of the project.
;; * L's questions in class gave me a sense of how to approach
;; the question on haiku.
;; * Mai helped correct my code on the haiku.
;; * I referred to the Racket page on `andmap` at
;; <https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/pairs.html>
;; * I talked to Sam abou the Haiku. I don't think he helped.
In the documentation for procedures.
;;; (haiku) -> string?
;;; Create a really bad Haiku.
;;;
;;; Acknowledgements
;;; I found starter code on Stack Overflow at <...>.
;;; Mai helped me correct some of the problems.
I’m happy with either, with a slight preference for both.
Top: Easy to find.
In the code: If you copy it elsewhere, you preserve the citation.
Where do you want acknowledgements for the cool rhyming and syllable counting strategies L found?
Preferably, at the top and near the procedures that use it.
Where does the citation near the procedure go?
Usually in the documentation, separated by a blank line.
My haiku procedure does not seem to prioritize short words. What
should I do?
Write the following.
“My initial
haikuprocedure does not seem to prioritize short words. Sam says that I don’t have to do a second version.”
How do I decide if it’s prioritizing short words?
Estimate how often they occur? Does that seem large?
What do you mean by “vowel sequence”?
One or more vowels in a row. I would suggest that the “ou” in “cough” indicates a split. Theory: The number of syllables is one fewer than the number of vowel sequences. “coughee”
Suggestion: There’s a cool trick using digraphs.
What’s the deadline for lab and reading redos?
I was hoping not to have you do too many of those. Let me know which you want to do by Friday the 18th; you’ll need to complete them by the 22nd?
Can I bring up makeup quizzes with you?
Sure.
Can I redo a makeup quiz?
Probably not. Chat with me about particular details.
I’m really enjoying project five. Why aren’t we doing more DigHum stuff?
We lost seven class sessions to the pandemic.
Many of the DigHum topics are among the harder things in the class. I know the final mini-project from last term was awful for a lot of students. And regular expressions, which are a key DigHum tool, are one of the harder aspects of the course (worse than recursion).
When will we see the labs graded?
I’ll take a look and let you know.
You know the drill.
Pairs are posted.
