  1. How can I install the software required for this course?

  2. How can I update Teaching Codes Plugin?

  3. How can I open/submit a project?

  4. I encountered an error during installation/using Teaching Codes, how can I get help?

    • Check the questions/solutions in this document and then Technical Support Forum on Moodle. If you can't find the solution, send an email to the mail address of your section: [email protected] for CMPE150.01 and [email protected] for CMPE150.02.

  5. I get one of the error listed below while installing Homebrew

    • curl (6): Could not resolve host: https

    • curl: (1) Protocol ' https not supported or disabled in libcurl

      Try the commands below. If any of them works, then continue installation. When the installation is completed, check it by typing brew help

    • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"	
    • /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL4 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
    • /bin/bash -c "$(usr/bin/curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
    • ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

  6. I get 'brew not found' error

    • If you are using zsh, you need to add HomeBrew to your path in zsh profile:

      • Copy and the following line on the terminal, replace <username> with your username and then press return (enter).

        echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> /Users/<username>/.zprofile

      • Then copy and paste the next line on the terminal, press return (enter)

        eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)

      • Check whether it is succesfully added to the profile, by typing:

        brew help

  7. Teaching.Codes Plugin displays 'Nothing to show'

    • Make sure you do not extract the Teaching.Codes zip file.
    • Download the Teaching.Codes zip using Chrome instead of Safari.
    • If you are using Macbook M1, make sure you install Intel version of PyCharm.
    • Then, reinstall the plugin by following Teaching.Codes guide

  8. I can't see the button names in the plugin

    • Change the theme by following these steps:

      • Inside PyCharm, for Windows, click File-->Settings; for MacOS, click PyCharm-->Preferences and find Appearance&Behavior on the left.
      • Go into Appearance under Appearance&Behavior
      • Change Theme from Intellij Light to something else. (Darcula seems fine.)
      • Click OK

  9. I have deleted the contents of Main.py

    • Restore it from Main.py.txt under corresponding question's src folder

  10. I can't see the Question description

  • Open the Question.html under WebContent in a browser
  • Right click on Question.html file
  • Click Open in Browser.
<img src="figures/HTML_Browser.png"  style="zoom:50%;" />
  1. If there are multiple questions and you see the same description for both questions or still blank page.
  • Right click on Question.html file
  • Choose "Show in Explorer/Finder". This step open the folder that contains the html file.

  • From the folder, open the html file.

  1. I can't see the Exam Results

    • Log out, and log in to the Teaching.Codes plugin.
    • Select the class from the Navigator. Wait a while for the class to load.
    • Click the ExamResults tab. When you click Open under a question, if nothing is happening:
      • Click the Projects tab on the left of ExamResults
      • Then, go into ExamResults once again. Now, when you click Open, you should be able to see your results.

  2. What counts as cheating:

    • Information exchange between students: Giving and Receiving information to/from your colleagues both count as cheating.
    • Using codes from any source other than the materials of our course: You can consult internet or books to learn and improve your programming skills. But you shouldn't use any material that is not your own work in the projects and exams.
