Finish Editing Problem

2007-03-08T03:52:00.000-05:00

All these problem sets are now corrected.
- JavaLoopTest
- JavaArrayTest *9/10
- PythonMCTest1 *9/1
- PythonMCTest2 *9/2

-- Sophal

working on JavaLoopTest...

2007-03-01T12:28:00.000-05:00

ExerciseSheet4 => corrected
ExerciseSheet5 => corrected
JavaMCTest *9/8 pb with \n\t => corrected

JavaLoopTest -- missing because location of pg file in setJavaLoopTest.def is wrong
( setCS121IS223JavaLoopTest/ )
=> changed to JavaLoopTest

Now JavaLoopTest is accessible.

Problem in this set will be corrected soon...

Now working on setExercises4

ExerciseSheet3

New problem:
- Sharp sign in hard copy

Now moving to Exercises4...

Ch3Projects finish, now working on Ch6Projects

2007-02-27T01:07:00.000-05:00

Please test Ch3Projects.

Problems in Ch6Projects:
- hard copy generatio
- <font> tag shown in hard copy
- less than sign "<"

Problems of Ch3Projects:
- Error during hard copy generation. ( Missing } inserted )
- similar problems like in previous projects

Ch1Projects (Con't)

2007-02-25T11:02:00.000-05:00

I fix the braces with these codes:

#Define these variables and use it to toggle between LaTex and HTML
# $MYLB for {
# $MYRB for }
$MYLB = MODES(TeX=>'\{',HTML=>'{');
$MYRB = MODES(TeX=>'\}',HTML=>'}');

Now it looks nicer both on the web and the hard copy.
Some other changes are also made to make the hard copy
easy to read.

However, the problems with spaces in answers are not yet fixed.

In this problem set, there are some problems with the hard copy:
- the shape of the diamond doesn't appear the way it is on the web, esp. the top and the bottom (solved by changing $PAR to $BR and using $SPACE)
- unnecessary text: ¡FONT FACE=courier¿ ....... ¡/font¿ (deleted)
- no braces with hard copy (when changing them to $LBRACE and $RBRACE, the hard copy will appear correctly, but on the web we will see \lbrace and \rbrace... ???)

Ch1Projects: Problem 1
- In Class Diamond, main method, the space(s) before the star(s) do(es) not appear correctly, both on the web and hard copy. (solved)
- There should be 3 spaces before * for answer 1, and 2 for answer 2 ($SPACE added)
- Even if the exercise requires three spaces, student can just enter a blank space before *
since HTML counts many spaces as one. If use $SPACE, it will become & nbsp; ???

The problem is that if one selects 'download a hard copy' there are funny characters! This is due some formatting problems linked with latex.

I began to go through the sets. Began with: PythonMCTest1.

The main problems are:
nbspc; -> $SPACE
Be careful with underscore
Math formulae should be between 
% is not a problem if $ %$
{ } -> \lbrace and \rbrace
p, i, br html tags should be removed and replaced
Use $BITALIC and $EITALIC for italic
$BR for the br html and p tags
Remove font
" with ${LQ} and ${RQ}

How to do \n \t? \noindent?

working on ch.3 exercises

I'm working on ch.1 exercises ......

2005-11-16T18:14:00.000-05:00

... In a problem set called setCh1ExercisesTabitha .. it's fun.

I completed putting up 4 problem pages in this set. All on ch.1 questions.

Oh I just discovered that the ~~ works not just for quotes within quotes, but for characters like '&' within quotes.

Changed my mind

2005-11-15T13:36:00.000-05:00

I think I'll work on putting some of the Lewis and Loftus problems on WW instead of working on Dr. Gotel's cs122 exam. She wants it to be mult. choice (or maybe she said that because she thinks it's easiest for us?), but I will experiment and see how she likes it at our next meeting.

She wants this by 12/06 ... I'll post which chapters I used.

Update

2005-11-13T17:50:00.000-05:00

Currently working on:

Editing my setForLoopTabitha problem set w/ modifications discussed in meeting on 11/7/05 EDIT -- DONE
Begin working on Dr. Gotel's CS122 past exam -- putting some questions in WW

Ongoing concerns:

How to italicize

spaces in webwork

2005-11-08T23:43:00.000-05:00

To make a space appear in the output of the PG code do:

$SPACE or you can use (\ or (i haven't tried the last two)
A list of several other useful commands can be found on pg 25 of the newbie guide.

Note that $LQ and $RQ, used to make quotation marks, leaves a space after the " . This was a problem in one of the multiple choice questions I had written. Tabitha found the solution by doing ~~" instead of $LQ and $RQ.
