Subject: Laundry Program parts A and B...  Minor penalties for late....

Hi 061 Java 9 MWF and 10 MWF students,

     Since we missed a class on Labor Day holiday that Mark Fienup's
T Th class did not have to miss, we are 50 minutes behind that class,
that section 03 class.

     Because Part B of this program is quite challenging, but will seem
much less so once you finish getting part A working fine, the following
will be the best possible solution I could come up with that is fair
to both
         the students that have been working hard on this since last
         Friday, and succeeded or probably will succeed in getting it all
         working by Friday at class time,

         and to

         the students who started later, or started last Friday or last
         weekend, but are still having trouble with it anyway.

The Laundry Project is worth 20 points, twice as much as each of your
first two programs were worth.

Part A is worth 10 points.  The onMouseClick() version.

Part B is worth 10 points.  The onMouseDrag(), onMousePress()
                            and onMouseRelease() version, with
                            the correct counters and
                            the incorrect counters.     Correct 12
                                                        Incorrect 4
    Turn in both part A and part B on Friday by class time
    and the program is worth a maximum of 10 + 10 or 20 points.

    Turn in part A by class time on Friday and receive up to 10
    points on part A.

    Turn in part A by 5 p.m. on Friday (under my office door) and
    receive a 1 point penalty, which means you can still score 9
    out of a possible 10 on part A.

    Turn in part A after 5 p.m. Friday and receive a 2 point penalty
    if its in by class time on Monday.

    Turn it in after your class time on Monday, and receive a 3 point
    penalty, or a maximum score of 7 out of 10.

    PART B deadlines and penalties.

    B by classtime on Friday is 10 points possible.

    B by Friday at 5 p.m. is 9 points.  Note you have to provide a 2nd
    diskette yourself, if you turn in part A earlier.  I will have some
    extra manilla folders with me Friday, if you need one, plus will
    scotch tape a couple on my office door.

    B by classtime, start of your class on Monday, is 8 points possible,
    or a 2 point penalty.

    B by Tuesday at 5 p.m. under my office door, maximum of 7 points,
    or a 3 point penalty.  Tuesday at 5 p.m. is the final deadline for
    everything, so turn in your best effort on part A and part B by
    then.                  ----------------

    I expect most of you will get it all working, if you work at it
    and study very actively the resources from lectures and email and
    the web page and the handouts, and take advantage of me and PJ
    and Daniel when you get stuck too.

    If you turn in both part A and part B on the last day, i.e. by 5 p.m.
    on Tuesday, you could still score 70% or 14 points out of 20 points
    on the entire project.

    The important thing is to learn as much as possible from this
    project, which is why the penalty is not too significant, so use
    the extra time if you need it and use the two extra lectures
    insights you get on Friday and Monday from the Wright 105 Java
    classroom sessions.
