This repository contains instructions and code for practicals for the subjects CP1404/CP5632 at James Cook University.
Instructions are found in each prac folder.
Some code files contain # TODO comments, which are part of the instructions for what students need to do.

Looking for the Programming Guides, including patterns?

• Practical 01 - PyCharm, Control
• Practical 02 - Functions, Git Version Control
• Practical 03 - Files, Exceptions
• Practical 04 - Lists
• Practical 05 - Dictionaries, Code Reviews with PRs
• Practical 06 - Classes
• Practical 07 - Classes 2
• Practical 08 - Kivy
• Practical 09 - Inheritance
• Practical 10 - Testing, APIs, Flask

and if you're really keen, here's another practical that we used to have in the subject, focused on using the os (operating system) module:

• Practical - OS

Assessment will be based on completing the tasks up to but not including the practice/extension section. You will be marked as follows:

• 4 = Excellent response to all requirements (Always aim for this!)
• 3 = Good response to most or all requirements, but some omissions or problems
• 2 = Reasonable response to some requirements, but some significant omissions or problems
• 1 = Reasonable response to at least one requirement, or LATE submission
• 0 = Minimal or no attempt
• LATE practicals will receive 1 mark for decent work, or 0 marks for poor work. Do not be late.

For practicals that have a code review component, this part will be marked as follows:

• 2 = Good code review with well-written, thoughtful comments
• 1 = Adequate code review
• 0 = No code review, or no URL submitted

Each prac includes a "Deliverables" section that tells you what to submit.

• Submit your files and any requested GitHub URLs. (No GitHub in prac 1.)
• Most pracs (not prac 1) require you to submit one or more GitHub URLs.
  Please type the URL(s) of your GitHub practicals repository or PR at the top of the text box when you submit your practical on LearnJCU.
  • Your PR URLs will look something like: https://github.com/lindsaymarkward/cp1404practicals/pull/1
  • Your code review URLs will be very similar but with the other student's repo. The link should take us directly to the PR where you have done your code review.
  • @Mention the appropriate student from the list in your PR.
• Do not zip up your files.
• Submit your practical on LearnJCU with each file attached to one submission.
• If you need to resubmit additional attempts, you must include all files in the new submission.
• Ensure each file has the correct name, including the extension. If you don't use the right extensions, we cannot read your work in LearnJCU.
• Ensure your code is not commented-out. Only comments should be commented.
• Include a # comment for any parts of questions that need separate answers. E.g., if a question has parts a. and b. then add comments like # a. and # b. to make it clear where your answers are, and to show you what you need to complete.
• Rewrite any # TODO comments as appropriate.

Selected (not all) practical solutions are provided here, in the solutions branch.
These are to help you learn by evaluating your own work and seeing our suggested ways of solving the practical problems.
