Creating your hand-in#

Creating your hand-in

To get credit for your results, you need to hand in a token-file. To create the token-file, run the script irlc/project1/project1_grade.py.

This will generate a file called irlc/project1/Project1_handin_k_of_n.token. The file name tells you how many points you obtained, and the terminal output contains additional details. When you are happy, open the assignment on DTU Learn and hand in the .token-file without modifications.

Running tests and debugging#

Solving and testing the exercises

The recommended way of completing the exercises is to use the VSCode debugger and the pycharm Test extension. You can open it by clicking on the small science flask in the left-most menu bar. The video above contains additional information on how to run the tests both with and without the debugger.

How am I evaluated?#

Your score is determined by a combination of your written answers and whether your programs are correct:

Note

The .token-handin system allows me to know how you did on the public tests, and all instances where I cannot reproduce public tests are manually investigated.

  • The written answers are assessed based on correctness and clarity.

  • The programming section is assessed on correctness, as determined by tests. The public tests offer a good indication about whether your programs work.

How can I see my evaluation?#

The TAs and I will upload feedback on your written questions (the PDF file) to DTU Learn 1-2 weeks after you hand in.

The programming questions are evaluated offline and any irregularities are manually checked – in nearly all cases the results are congruent with the score in your .token file. If you want to verify your score you can see it as follows:

Note

This procedure relies on resource-files that were generated when you made the .token-file, and it will therefore not work if you e.g. re-installed the course software. If it does not work, just ask a TA and they can easily find the same information online.

This should print out the result of your overall evaluation.

How it affects your overall evaluation#

Your projects are scored on a continuous scale and contribute towards your overall grade; that is, a poor or partial handin is always better than no handin. The same goes for the program tests: passing a few of the tests are better than passing none. More information is available here
