Updates
News / Etc.
- New partners!
- When doing lab writeups in which you create procedures, please write at least the 4Ps, and preferably the 6Ps.
- The 6Ps are required on all assignments. If you didn’t write them for assignment 4, submit a revised version today.
- There has been a request that we spend a little time comparing answers from assignments. I’m looking for ways to fit that into the course structure. It may be that we use Wednesday review sessions for that purpose.
Quiz topics
- Lists and list operations (see yesterday’s class)
- Boolean values and operations
- Predicate procedures

Academic honesty, revisited
A bad suggestion: Use thumb screws to convince those who did not sign the second entry to tell you more.
A good suggestion: Provide a leniency clause: Students can tell you that they misunderstood the academic honesty policies and request that you just not count the exam. They will receive a zero, but can replace it with their final exam grade.
A good suggestion: Provide those who felt unable to sign with a way to report more details anonymously.
The result of the second suggestion: “I overheard someone talking on the phone about problems on the exam.” “I saw someone talking to one of the evening tutors about problems on the exam.”
