Please Re-submit A2 on Blackboard
14/11/11 16:47 Filed in: 480
Apparently I had an unintended naming conflict between my spreadsheet and Blackboard, which caused all of the A2 submission to be overwritten when I uploaded the grades for part 1 of the assignment.
Please re-submit your assignment under “A2 Resubmit” on Blackboard. Unfortunately there is no way to recover the already submitted material, according to the Blackboard admins.

Blackboard AI Wiki, Discussion Board Access Problems
02/10/11 21:39
If you’re getting an “Access Denied” message when trying to go to the AI Wiki or Discussion Board on Blackboard, let me know. The wiki is on a separate Blackboard course, and especially for students who added the course later, I may have to manually add them.
A2 and other Grades on Blackboard
18/11/11 17:45 Filed in: 480
The grades for A2 for those of you who demonstrated their Wumpus agent to me are now available on Blackboard. There are a few cases where I still need to grade the first part, especially if it was submitted late. I still need to grade Lab 8, and the project Week 8 milestone documents.
Various Feedback Forms Available

I’m using a few Web questionnaires to collect feedback about various aspects of the class; please check the Class Feedback page for the links.
Updated Grades on Blackboard
09/11/11 20:38 Filed in: 480
I’ve updated Blackboard with the scores for the following items
* Labs L1 through L7
I just noticed that some of you submitted non-programming labs via Blackboard; I still have to evaluate those.
* Assignments A1 and A2
If you have a score of around 10 for A2, it is only for the first part.
The scores reflect only the programs shown in the lab. I haven’t graded the rest yet.
I changed the maximum score on Blackboard from 33 to 25.
* Project Week 4 and 6 Milestones
I believe this includes all requests for re-evaluation. Let me know if you’ve asked for one, but your score hasn’t changed.
* AI Nugget presentations
I believe I’ve graded all the presentations given so far.
If you’ve given your presentation, but your score is around 60, you probably haven’t submitted your presentation material (slides, Prezi) on the Blackboard Wiki.

AI Nuggets Presentations
08/09/11 12:14 Filed in: 480
If you have a topic for your AI Nugget presentation, you can sign up for it on Blackboard. Go to the “AI Wiki”, and follow the link to the presentation schedule for your section. Instructions are on the Wiki. I will publish the Web pages with more information on the AI Nuggets task soon. If you’re looking for topic ideas, try my collection of Web snippets in the AI Nuggets Evernote Notebook. You may also find some ideas in a related notebook, KM Nuggets, with an emphasis on knowledge management.
Blackboard Access Set Up
08/09/11 12:14 Filed in: 480
Blackboard should be available now to most of the 480 students. It’s usually about a day behind with enrollment information, so if you’ve added this class only today, your name may not be on Blackboard’s class roster.
We'll use it mostly for the following:
* Submission of assignments (there's a menu entry "Assignment Submission") and possibly some of the labs,
* AI Nugget presentation (under “AI Wiki”). If you already have a topic, pick a date, and enter your name and topic in the table with the presentation schedule. You'll also add a Wiki page there with your topic proposal, and later the draft and final versions of your presentation material.
* Grades; I’m keeping the grades in a spreadsheet (after losing all the grades in a Blackboard mishap a few years ago, I’ve learned my lesson), but I’m copying them to Blackboard on a regular basis.
Please note that the Wiki and the Discussion Board are part of a different, permanent course ( CSC-0480 ALL RELATED COURSES (CSC-0480-FKURFESS)), and linked to the 480 menu entry. I’ve copied the enrollment to that course, so it will appear in your list of Blackboard courses as well.
Those of you who have added the course later may encounter broken link or access permission problems. If those persist for more than a day, let me know, and I’ll check into it.
Depending on how you navigate, you may also see the menu for that course, which has a darker shade of green as background, and different entries in the list of options on the left.

Updated Grades on Blackboard
30/11/11 19:13 Filed in: 480
Earlier today, I updated the Blackboard Grade Sheet again. Here’s the current status
* Labs L1 through L9
Up to date as of this afternoon; I still have to evaluate programming labs submitted on Blackboard and not demoed in lab, and some non-programming labs submitted via Blackboard;
* Assignments A1 and A2
Up to date as of this afternoon; I still have to evaluate assignments submitted on Blackboard and not demoed in lab
* Project Week 4 and 6 Milestones
Updated to reflect requests for re-evaluation; I haven’t done the Week 8 Milestones yet
* AI Nugget presentations
Should reflect all the presentations given so far, and materials submitted as of this afternoon.
* Quiz Make-up Questions and Requests for Re-evaluation
Still need to do these; I may also curve the last two (Q8 and Q9) since the averages (66 and 71) were a bit lower than for the earlier ones (around 80), for those students who actually took the quizzes.

Another Round of Grade Updates on Blackboard
05/12/11 21:10 Filed in: 480
I just updated the Blackboard Grade Sheet again. Here’s the current status
* Labs L1 through L10
Up to date as of this evening; I still have to evaluate programming labs submitted on Blackboard and not demoed in lab, and some non-programming labs submitted via Blackboard;
* Assignments A1 and A2
Up to date as of this afternoon; I still have to evaluate assignments submitted on Blackboard and not demoed in lab.
I’ll have to adjust the Blackboard calculation for the reduction of assignments from 3 to 2. So if you didn’t do A3, your overall assignment grade should be better.
* Project Week 4, 6 and 8 Milestones, Final Presentations, Team Evaluation, Team Member Evaluations
Updated, and should be complete except for those students who have not submitted their mutual team member evaluations yet.
My spreadsheet automatically gives you 0 if you haven’t done a self-evaluation; I’ll change this later if you’ve done them for your team members. If you haven’t done any yet, do them as soon as possible.

Should reflect all the presentations given so far, and materials submitted as of this afternoon.
