Assignment Problems and Support

Different questions belong in different places. Choosing the right channel helps you get a useful answer without exposing graded work or private information.

First: Check the Wiki and README

Before posting a question:

  1. Read the top-level repository README.
  2. Read the README for the SDLC phase you are working on.
  3. Check this wiki for a related explanation.
  4. Search existing GitHub Issues and Discussions.

Repository or Tool Problem

Use the repository's Issues area for a specific technical problem with:

  • Repository instructions or broken links
  • Provided starter or reference files
  • Pseudocode file behavior in the course IDE
  • Optional Python or test files
  • A reproducible Git/GitHub workflow problem caused by the repository instructions

Issues:

https://github.com/GC-STEM/it140-m4-assignment/issues

Include what you were doing, what you expected, what happened, and the exact error message when applicable.

Repository-Related Question

Use the repository's Discussions area for questions that may help other students understand the repository workflow or tools:

https://github.com/GC-STEM/it140-m4-assignment/discussions

Do not ask for or post a completed graded pseudocode solution. Ask for resources or explanations that help you discover and correct your own solution.

Course Content Question

Post questions about course content that are not specific to this repository in your section's General Questions discussion topic.

Submission, Grading, or Feedback Question

Email or otherwise contact your instructor through the course-approved D2L Brightspace channel for questions about:

  • Assignment submissions
  • Grades
  • Rubric feedback
  • Deadlines
  • Accommodations
  • Your individual work

Protect Private and Graded Information

Do not post publicly:

  • Passwords or authentication codes
  • GitHub tokens or recovery codes
  • Student identification information
  • Private contact information
  • Complete graded assignment solutions

A screenshot can contain private information outside the area you intended to show. Review screenshots before posting them.
