- Evaluate two peer iPs before Sat 23:59
1 Evaluate two peer iPs before Sat 23:59
This activity is worth 2x2=4 participation points.
The allocation will be sent via email, by Monday 2359.
Download the latest JAR file of the first iP by following the link provided.
FAQ: What if the student has not uploaded a JAR file, or the JAR file doesn't work at all?
A: When you submit the evaluation (step 8 below), there will be a way to indicate that the JAR was not available, or any other serious issues you faced.Locate the User Guide of the app by following the link provided.
Open the Canvas survey (the one named
iP Peer Evaluation 1) that you will be using to submit your evaluation and take note of the things you need to evaluate.Run the jar file in the following manner:
- Put the jar file in an empty folder, to prevent data files created by other jar files you tested earlier from interfering with the current jar file.
- Open a terminal, and navigate to the folder you put the JAR file in.
- Run the
java -versioncommand to confirm you are using Java 11. - Run the jar file using the
java -jar {file_name}command (rather than double-clicking) in the same terminal.
Do a light testing of the app (not more than 10 minutes) to ensure the claimed features actually exist.
Do a quick examination of the code (~ 5 minutes) by following the provided link.
Submit your evaluation using the survey.
Repeat the above steps for the 2nd iP allocated to you (use the survey
iP Peer Evaluation 2).
If both iPs crash or fail severely in a similar fashion, the problem may be on your side. Please contact the teaching team to ask how to proceed.Take note of the effort required for a typical iP: After seeing two more iPs, you should now be in a better position to estimate how much you need to do for the tP (reason: the expected workload for the tP is that each team member puts in about one typical iP worth of effort).
