| + | * For those getting to that point in the EoCE and are having issues operating **dd(1)**, in addition to referencing the manual page, I put together a quick tutorial showing some basic operations: | ||

| + | ======Week 12====== | ||
| + | * As I mentioned last week, the UNIX IPKA is now available. Prior average times are about 1 hour 30 minutes, so be sure to plan accordingly. | ||
| + | * Some good progress is being made on the EoCE by some. Also some good questions and realizations. Keep up the good work. | ||
| + | ======Week 11====== | ||
| + | * Welcome back! I hope everyone had a phenomenal spring break! | ||
| + | * The EoCE will be unveiled, at which point that will be the main focus from here on out. | ||
| + | * It will be located at the bottom of your journal. | ||
| - | ======Class Stats====== | + | ======Week 10====== |
| - | * [[/haas/spring2017/unix/projects/status|status]] | + | * Week before break; it was a general "work on stuff" time. |
| + | |||
| + | ======Week 9====== | ||
| + | * The fun continues! **icp0** will occupy our time in class this week, as you work to automate the drawing of pretty pictures- all from a script run on the command-line! | ||
| + | * Your next project is **gfo0**, which is also a script-heavy project. Because you've been so awesome, this one won't be due until the Wednesday we get back from break (think of the bonus point opportunities!) | ||
| + | * Have we hit and moved beyond the high water mark for the semester? **upf1** showed a tangible decline in overall class performance. The average, median, and mode all took massive hits. Largely due to outright non-submits. At the same time, for many (who submitted), it was among their best work (including being their best work all semester). It appears we have a growing divide between those who are //really// getting it and those who are struggling. | ||
| + | ======Week 8====== | ||
| + | * the project this week dives into a full-blown script; **usf0** has us interacting with binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal values | ||
| + | * your .cli files need to contain JUST the command-lines to produce the desired output... the "Task 0 result is" part needs to be in the main steps file, which then executes each .cli file. A few of you rigged up this overly elaborate .cli file chaining. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Week 7====== | ||
| + | * **usr0** | ||
| + | * Warning grades are on the horizon; for those with a D or F as of my time of entering warning grades, such will be reported. Most of you have nothing to worry about. | ||
| + | * **upf1** is the next project in the "pipe fun" series of projects. | ||
| + | * With **usr0** now behind us, I have adapted the **urev** tool for general use- for those that wanted to keep up your file permission practice, you may now do so. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Week 6====== | ||
| + | * With the evaluation of **pbx1** and **uka1**, we now have enough data points to start generating the class stats page to potentially see useful trends. Check it out. | ||
| + | * Some observed trends: | ||
| + | * So far, someone (at least 1) has always gotten a 100% | ||
| + | * So far, someone (at least 1, but not always the same someone) has always gotten a 0% | ||
| + | * With each passing project, the class average and medians seem to slide down, yet the mode (most frequent score) remains in the 90' | ||
| + | * Reviewing the **uka1** knowledge assessment, some general comments: | ||
| + | * I would have thought that giving something familiar to what you've seen before (past, current, and bonus projects, PLUS a practice knowledge assessment just a week prior), there' | ||
| + | * And a big part of that is just in reading and following directions. | ||
| + | * Topics and activities we encounter ARE and continue to be comprehensive... that means what you learned before is still needed as it gets built upon. We don't just learn these things for show... these are important concepts that allow for new approaches to solving problems. | ||
| + | * The next project, **upf0**, has us exploring pipes in a themed problem solving setting. I had a lot of fun putting it together, so hopefully you'll have just as much fun undertaking it! | ||
| + | * This week, we'll likely continue with some of our shell scripting endeavors, getting to: | ||
| + | * loops | ||
| + | * possibly functions | ||
| + | * ... and maybe working through some scripts together in class to see more examples. | ||
| + | * But remember, none of this will become more familiar if you do not take the time to play with this outside of class. I was dismayed at the number of people who, prior to break, asked me how to access the class homepage/lab46 from outside the room (this was something you were to have established in the FIRST PROJECT, and hearing it then only confirmed that you haven' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Break 1====== | ||
| + | * It has been a relatively quiet break... only 12 or so people have commenced on the **usr0** project... remember that with the built-in time limits, waiting until we get back may be a costly decision to have made. | ||
| ======Week 5====== | ======Week 5====== | ||
