Administrative stuff

Notes and News

  • Beware! Friday the 13th falls on Saturday this month.
  • Don’t forget: Sunday morning, you lose an hour of sleep as we spring forward. (Well, those of you in locations that adhere to the evil daylight savings time regime will lose that hour of sleep.)
  • Class attendance is expected/required next Thursday.
  • Class attendance is definitely expected/required next Friday. (Yay! You get to evaluate me.)
  • I had trouble building the autograder today. I don’t know what that will mean for submissions.
  • Just to reinforce what I said at the start of the semester: My goal is that all of you can earn A’s in the class (although that may require a lot of time). Make sure to reach out on Teams or set up appointments if you need more support.
  • I’m leaving class at about 3:55 today for a DEI/AR event.

Q&A

Administrative

If we got an M on an MP3 redo, can we do another redo?

Yes. For a token.

You haven’t been updating my tokens with any regularity. How seriously are you taking the tokens?

Not very. But I do hope you’ll attend the events.

I don’t really pay attention to what you say at the start of class. Can you please remind me?

See the eboard for most of the details. Watch the video if you have questions. Then ask me on Teams.

Why do we only have a week between SoLAs?

Because Grinnell decided on seven-week terms.

If I turn in a redo before the 24th, can I get it graded earlier?

If our graders have time.

MP6

How do I ensure that I don’t pick too large a random number when making a phrase of length n from a syllax with m maximum syllables?

(random (min n (vector-length syllax))), or something similar.
