Q: Prof. Baldwin will be happy to debug your programs for you.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: Please don't waste our time by asking me to help you debug your programs. The best way to debug is to avoid errors in the first place. Then there won't be any bugs that require attention. If you understand the requisite programming concepts, the only bugs that you will incur will be the result of careless errors on your part.

Q: There is no need to satisfy the prerequisites for this course.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: Having the required prerequisite knowledge is extremely important. Please don't ask me to teach the ITSE2321 Object-Oriented Programming material to you. If you don't already understand that material, it will be your responsibility to learn it, on your own, without assistance from me.

Q: Careless errors don't count off in this course.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: The cost for making a careless error on an assignment program is just as costly as not knowing how to write the program in the first place. In either case, you get no credit for the program. So, don't be careless.

Q: Submission of the Computer Studies Student Information form is a requirement of the course.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: The Computer Studies Student Information Form is requested by the Computer Studies department, but is not a requirement of the course. Whether or not you submit the form will not be taken into account when determining your grade in the course.

Q: The procedure for submitting assignments in the JSP portion of the course is significantly different from the procedure for submitting assignments in the Generics and Event Handling portions of the course. As a result, the online document that provides instructions for submitting assignments has one major section for Generics and Event Handling (Asg01 through Asg08) and a separate major section for JSP (Asg09 through Asg12). You should make certain that you understand and adhere to the instructions for the specific assignment that you are submitting.

A: True

Q: NetBeans is an excellent IDE for use in in writing the first eight assignments for this course.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: NetBeans, Eclipse, and other high-level IDEs are excellent productivity tools for programmers in the workplace who are working on large projects, who know exactly what they are doing, and who have a need to become more productive in their programming efforts. However, to write the simple programs required by the first eight assignments in this course, you should need nothing more sophisticated than a text editor (preferably with Java syntax color coding) and the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK). You shouldn't need a high-level IDE to serve as a crutch to help you write these simple programs. The use of a high-level IDE to write the programs required by the first eight assignments in this course is overkill, can lead to problems, and is not recommended.

A: False
If wrong: Each of the first eight assignments requires you to use (without modification) a controlling class and/or other code that Prof. Baldwin has provided (file named ProjXX.java) and to duplicate the screen output shown in the assignment specifications while meeting all other written specifications. Any modification of the code that Prof. Baldwin has provided is grounds for disqualification.

A: True

Q: For each of the first eight assignments, Prof. Baldwin will provide you with the set of class files produced by his version of the program so that you can run his version to observe the output. He recommends that you run his version (from the command line) side-by-side with your version and compare the two before submitting your assignment.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: You must match the specified screen output in every significant way for each of the first eight assignments. Extraneous characters on the screen, extraneous images that are not shown in the assignment specification, extra blank lines, missing blank lines, different colors for output images, etc., are grounds for disqualification. In other words, your output must be an exact image of the specified output.

If you wait until close to the deadline to submit the assignment or to take the test, you will probably forfeit your opportunity for a second attempt if you do poorly on the first attempt.

Q: It is a really bad idea to wait until late on the last day before the deadline to submit one of the first eight assignments or to take Test01 or Test02. You are allowed two attempts for each of the first eight assignments and for Test01 and Test02 on or before the deadline. If you wait until close to the deadline to submit the assignment or to take the test, you will probably forfeit your opportunity for a second attempt if you do poorly on the first attempt.

A: True

Q: There is a ten-day grace period for the deadline on every assignment and every test.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: There is no grace period on the deadlines for the assignments and the tests. You have access to all assignments and tests as soon as you successfully complete this test. Assignments and tests will normally disappear from Blackboard when a deadline expires. At that point, you will no longer have an opportunity to take the test or submit the assignment unless you make special arrangements with Prof. Baldwin or Dr. Martinez. About the only excuse that might be accepted would be something on the order of extended hospitalization or extended serious illness on the part of you or an immediate member of your family, or something else with a similar degree of unexpectedness and seriousness.

Q: The best approach is to submit as many of the first eight assignments as possible at the same time.
- True
- False
A: False
If wrong: The best approach is to submit the first eight assignments one at a time with an interval of several days in between the submissions while making certain that you meet all of the submission deadlines. That way, if you fail to get credit for an assignment because you didn't understand some concept, you can work to gain an understanding of that concept, resubmit the assignment before the deadline expires, and avoid making the same mistake on subsequent assignments. Even on the last four assignments, it is probably better to submit them one at a time to avoid making the same mistake on two or more assignments in a row.
