BA 371 - VB.NET Assignments

• Two VB.NET programming assignments:
• Program a text-based tick-tack-toe game. (review criteria)
• Program a map of radio signal interference patterns (Can you hear me now?). (review criteria)

• Assignments are on a personal basis; i.e., you are expected to conduct the assignments on your own and you will receive an individual grade for your work. Note that you are, of course, allowed and even encouraged to help each other learn how to program these assignments. However, the work that you hand in must be yours; i.e., you as an individual are responsible for the originality and quality of the work. This means that as a minimum, you should be able to explain every line of code that you submit; what it does and why you wrote it.
• Your work will be reviewed and graded by two of your colleagues and you will review the work of two of your colleagues. The reviews will be double-blind; i.e., you will not know by whom you are reviewed and you will not know who you are reviewing.

Anonimize!!! To ensure anonimity, please 'anonimimize' your code. In other words, remove from your code any comments, variable names or other information that would allow your reviewer to identify you. Not anonimizing your code compromises the anonimity of the reviews.

• In order for your code to be reviewed by others and for you to review others' code without compromising your or their code integrity, you must store your code and reviews in a predetermined folder structure. Please take a few moments and set up the following folder structure in your ...\classwork\ folder:

...\classwork\ba371\assignment_1\
                                \code\
                                \review_1\
                                \review_2\

...\classwork\ba371\assignment_2\
                                \code\
                                \review_1\
                                \review_2\

• Use the above folders as follows:
• Store all materials, code and reviews in the proper assignment_* folder; e.g., code and reviews for assignment 1 go in the ..\classwork\ba371\assignment_1 folder.

• Store your VB.NET projects in the code folders of the associated assignment.
  
• The codes for you to review, together with a code review spreadsheet will be automatically stored in the review_1 and review_2 folders. Review these codes in those locations (don't mix them up with your own codes!!).
• For each review, fill out the review spreadsheet located in the review_1 and review_2 folders and leave them there to be harvested by your instructor and TA.
• Upon completion of all reviews, your reviews will be copied to your reviewee's code folder and you colleagues' review of your code will be copied to your code folder.

• It is your responsibility to store materials in your ...\classwork\ba371\ folder in accordance with these rules. If your code cannot be found for copying to your reviewers, or your reviews cannot be found for copying to your reviewees, you will not receive credit for those items.
• Please note that the scheme laid out here depends on you complying with the deadlines for code development and code review as stated in the course syllabus. Therefore, we ask you to strictly comply with these deadlines.
