Alternative assessment
|
Dear Students, In light of the ongoing situation and the challenges of the current semester, we have decided to offer an alternative assessment. Any student who is dissatisfied with their final grade may request an automatic 25% grade increase (up to a maximum of 100), instead of going to Moed B. To claim this adjustment, you must fill out the form below by the end of the day: https://forms.gle/K7SPHbkaRgCEGShT6 Please note that no late requests will be accepted. regards, The courses stuff |

Assignment 4 Tests Update
|
Dear students, Following a report from the course representative, we have corrected the tests for Assignment 4 and uploaded the updated grades. We also updated the feadback and the self check file The update was for the "join channel returns as expected" test, removing the assertThrows<UserNotAuthorizedException>{bot.join("#dsad")} assertion completely, instead of changing it to assertDoesNotThrow{bot.join("#dsad")} since there was no clear instruction on whether joining a non-existing channel should create a new channel like new users would, or should it be denied since the channel does not exist? MAKE SURE YOU USE THE UPDATED VERSION IF YOU RESUBMIT regards, The courses stuff |

Exercise 4 Grades And Competition Results
|
Dear Students, Grades and feedback for Exercise 4 have been released. Please note that these grades do not yet affect the "final_a_speculative" row. In your feedback, you will find: * Your test report or compilation error logs. * A specific note, if any, regarding your submission. * Feedback from the peers who received your library. Additionally, the selfCheck zip file containing all the tests and the updated script has been uploaded to the Exercise 4 materials section. "The Greatest Library" Competition Results As previously announced, this exercise featured "The Greatest Library" competition. For each pair of students who chose to use your library, you receive a 1-point bonus to your final grade. Congratulations to our winners: First Place: קבטניי ספיר and חדד אראל (Chosen by 3 out of 4 pairs) Second Place (Tie): מני שיר, פילוננקו קסניה בן עמי טל, מאירי שירה עראידה כרים, סטריזקוב בנימין (Chosen by 2 out of 4 pairs) Regarding Your Grades If you do not see a grade: This indicates a compilation or system error that caused all tests to fail. Please refer to your feedback file for more detailed information. If you received a low grade: Please do not panic. In many cases, a single minor bug may have caused multiple tests to fail. Some common issues we observed include: failing to bind the relevant classes, submitting the staff implementation (which caused a compile error), and failing to implement the bot module. Resubmission Guidelines PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. Penalty: There is a deduction of 6 points (the equivalent of a single test) for each logic correction made. How to Submit: * Deadline: You may submit your corrections up until March 18th. We understand that we are in times of war; if you feel you need an extension for the submission date, please email Regev. * Submission: Upload your resubmission to the relevant resubmission exercise on the course website. * Zip File Structure: Make sure that your submitted zip file contains only the "base" directory as the root folder. Do NOT submit a nested zip file alongside a PDF report. * Testing: Your submission must pass the provided selfCheck script exactly as is, with no further changes. MAKE SURE YOU TEST YOUR FINAL VERSION BEFORE SUBMITTING. Failing to do so will result in a grade of 0. * Summary Report: Your submission must include a summary report. Do not submit just a raw diff file. You must include a document that summarizes each bug found, the fixes applied (including the relevant diff), and an explanation of the changes made. Example of a Summary Report Entry: 3) MessageServiceImpl pending-messages/statistics and delivery-target bug Diff: [Insert Image/Snippet] Bug: Pending-message statistics were incremented/decremented under the wrong conditions, and direct-message broadcasting iterated through all registered users instead of only the currently logged-in users. Fix: Computed explicit decrement conditions for final pending direct/group message delivery, checked user login status via UserStore before targeting a user, and incremented the pending-messages counter only when there were actual pending recipients. Another example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEi8hFcTtIbYX9dfaSstI-A_glaIN4Jp/view?usp=sharing Best regards, Course Staff |

Moed A solution sketch and appeal instructions and HW 3 test updates
|
Appeal Procedure: A solution sketch has been published under Course Material. If you wish to appeal, please follow the procedure below: The appeals should be written in a pdf and emailed to Regev and Gal by 1/03/2026. No appeals will be accepted after this date! You should specify exactly why you believe your grade should be raised (i.e., state the question and sub-question number, and where you believe there was an error). You should submit a typed "as is" version of the answer you wrote in the exam to the sub-question you are appealing on, so we can better understand your answer. You should send a copy of your exam, and you may attach screenshots with explanations if you think they may help. Arguments about the fair number of points reduced will not accepted! In other words, you cannot appeal on the grading schema. Only appeal if you believe there was a grading error! Note that the entire exam may be re-inspected in each case, so appeals may increase or decrease your final grades. HW 3 tests: We fixed the relevant test in HW3, as was noticed by the students' representative. We updated your HW3 grade as well as uploaded the new self-check file so you can use it for your resubmission. Make sure you receive the full points when running this script as is. Regards, |

Exam A grades
|
We have published the grades for Exam A. You can now view them in the system. In the next few days, we will publish an Exam solution and appeal instructions. Please wait with your appeals until then To determine the factor for this exam, we calculated a speculative final grade for each student (listed under the column "Final A speculative"). Please note the following regarding this calculation: * Homework Assumptions: Since grades for HW3 and HW4 are not yet finalized, we assumed they will be identical to your HW2 grade. * Homework 4 Bonus Simulation: We added 1 point to this assumption to simulate the potential bonus in HW4 (you receive 1 point for each team that chose your library, we assumes that the library choices are distributed equally). * The Median: Based on these speculative final grades (excluding specific Miluim adjustments), the median stands at 86. This is slightly higher than promised, providing a small "buffer" in case our grade estimations were overly optimistic. |

Homework assignment 4 update, and tests for hw3
|
Thanks to the students' comment in the Piazza, I uploaded a fix for the ex4 skeleton files. The fix is a small change regarding forgetting to remove the suspend keyword from the listener function I also uploaded a document that shows the diff and explains exactly the fix that was done. It will take time to grade HW3. In the meantime, I published the ex3 official tests, so you could use them to make sure that 4 ex is working properly with the integration of the new library that you are using. It is highly recommended that you make sure that all the tests from previous assignments pass with your ex4 solution. |
