As I indicated, this first (and only the first) SWYK check will be graded more leniently than the others, since you guys were getting used to the process and some people had a hard time getting the commands typed in correctly, etc. For this reason, I instituted a hard floor of 7 points out of 10 for the assignment. This means that even if your code didn’t compile, as long as you turned it in correctly you got no lower than a 7/10.

I cannot emphasize enough, however, that if you struggled at all with this SWYK check, you MUST take immediate action between now and the next one to correct what you did wrong. The next SWYK check (on Oct. 4) will not have any artificial grading floor to prop up your score. If your team passes no test cases — or doesn’t even have code that comples — you will get zero points.

For this reason, I stress in the strongest terms the need for you to visit one of the class’s lab aides, or myself between now and then to talk through what you found difficult and why. It simply will not get any easier than this one was.

Finally, as promised, I present my own solution to the SWYK check if you’d like to look at that. (This isn’t the only correct solution, but it is a correct solution.)
