ISM3230 In-class lab 8 Spring 2019
TOPIC: Introduction to classes, attributes, methods
In Assignment 4 we kept track of student numerical scores and equivalent letter grades. The scores were stored
in an array, and the grades were stored in a second array. The relationship between the arrays was implicitly
based on the index: for example, it was assumed that studentScore[3] is related to studentGrade[3] because
they both are for student number 3. In object-oriented programming, we can make this relationship explicit by
creating an object and keeping the data together in the object's properties. We can also include pieces of
related code in the object's methods.
TASK
Your task is to write code that will be able to create Student objects and store the score and grade data together
in the objects as properties. The student object will also be able to print its own data to the screen. You will also
write code for a GradingScheme class that will have the functionality to convert any integer score to a letter
grade. Then, you will create a user-specified number of students, generate random scores for the students, and
convert them to letter grades. Finally, you will calculate the average score, rounded average score, and the
average letter grade that corresponds to the rounded average score.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Create a new class file Student in the project's source package. Write a Student class that will allow us
to store student score and student grade in the same object. Also write a printStudent method that will
print the student details to the screen.
a. The Student class should have these properties:
public int studentId
public int score
public char grade
b. The printStudent method will print to the screen the data about the student object. It
should print:
Student ID: id; Score: score is grade
where id, score, and grade are the object's data properties. The method should have the
following signature, i.e., it returns no value and it requires no parameter:
public void printStudent()
2. Create a new class file GradingScheme in the project's source package. This class will have the
functionality to convert an integer score to a letter grade by using its own built-in scheme, so we can use
it to convert student scores to grades for all student objects.
a. Use the following to create the class constants:
public static final int [][] GRADING_SCHEME =
{{'F',0}, {'D',60}, {'C',70}, {'B',80}, {'A',90}};
public static final int SCHEME_LETTER=0;
public static final int SCHEME_MINIMUM=1;
b. Write a method convertScore that will take an integer as a parameter and return its
corresponding letter grade as a char. It should have the following signature:
public char convertScore(int score)
This method could be implemented as a if-else-if tree or more efficiently as a loop. The method
starts with the numerical score in the score variable, and should classify it into a le ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying problem-
solving skills and mathematical techniques, communication and reasoning
Editor's Notes
I started playing PokemonGO during the July holidays because most of my family started. But I continued because there was so much maths and science I wanted to investigate the educational potential in it.
One of the joys of the game initially is the augmented reality which lets you see the Pokemon through you device camera and take great photos.
Like minecraft your students are already playing this game. Help them see the maths in it. There is a huge amount of science in the game but as I was doing electricity last term not biology I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet.
I know schools have banned this game but I think in doing so we lose an educational opportunity.
Still you don't have to actually have have each student playing the game to use PokemonGO in the classroom for a fun week of a PokemonGO Maths. During the last few weeks of term before Christmas would be a good time to try something like this out.
I know that this activity is very simple for a Stage 3 class but it was a good introductory activity. Students ordered the photocopied information sheets about Pokemon in ascending order of Combat Points.
This is my neighbourhood. If you were doing it at school you would show a map of your school so that the students could identify familiar places. For instance my students were initially confused by the representation of the houses. My three year old Pokemon partner is able to identify water, parks and familiar places on the Pokemon map.
This was a great activity and provoked a lot of discussion when they could say this Pokemon is as tall as the ruler , or themselves or the ceiling.
PokemonGO is also very good for keeping fit. Many times I have gone for an extra walk just to hatch an egg.
This was interesting particularly when some Pokemon actually got smaller when they evolved.
Nice variety of masses to compare with real life familiar things.
We did the same thing as we had previously done with length. This required subtraction of decimals.
The extra information you need to know to answer this question was my current Magicarp candy level. I think at that point I was about 50 Magicarp away from evolving.
Pokemon come in different types eg Grass, Psychic, Rock, Water. We collated them into types. We also drew a Venn diagram because some belonged to two types. Unfortunately I didn't photograph that.
There really is an incredible amount of data in the game that can be graphed.
Must have been a weekend for me to spend so much time hunting. We simply looked at the first and last entry for that day to get the times.
The idea with this one is that the answer is 36 Pokeballs and the students had to make up three questions that could be answered with 36 Pokeballs.
I think that this shows that you can take something that students are interested in and look for the maths involved in it and still teach the curriculum.
