| Thursday | Ses1 | 2018-07-26 | Helping them learn how to set up the proxy.
Opening up their account in piazza and helping them
understand the platform.
Helping them open their webmail and check the email
details.
Helping them navigate in the LINUX Terminal.
Installing Qt creator and running simple-project
file.
Running 'HelloWorld' program in gedit. | Students should be taught in class about
directory structure of linux. Many people were
saving the file in a different folder and running
g++ command on some other folder.
Awareness of Linux Commands. I am trying my best
to send a document relating to basic linux
commands which would help both the student and
TA's.
In the end of the lab, people were asking about
attendance. So i felt as if the attendance thing
is making them come to labs. So how about keeping
a lab attendance? Just a suggestion.
I didn't find the reason of introducing them to
Qt creator. It was hard on both student and TA's
part to handle it. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-07-30 | Hello world program is explained along with the
meanings of
1. including iostream
2. using namespace std
3 why int before main
4 why returning only 0 and what it signifies to
the OS and what if we return something else
following program was done after that
double c = 100;
double f = 9/5 * c + 32;
print f using cout
with explanation of difference between int and double
why wrong output comes
and all the alterations specified | biggest issue was the main system hangs a lot in
lab LH503
though over all experience was nice but there are
few students who are able to complete tasks very
fastly as the have prior knowledge of these things
and thus ask for more work like some assignments
on the knowledge provided in that lab, so it would
be good if they can have hands-on some better
application related tasks on the same lab
knowledge, it would help those students too who
are finding it boring to write 4-5 lines of code
just to add two numbers
for example we can make them calculate Simple
interest when given three values as input. | Kapil |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-07-30 | 1. How to run a C++ program on Linux.
2. Hello World! program Execution.
3. Lab assignment 2.
4. Basic Linux Commands ( pwd, cd, mkdir, touch)
5. Navigation of directory structure on terminal.
5. Brief discussion on why to change file
permissions. | 1. To what extent are we supposed to help the
students with their lab assignments? Are we
supposed to discuss and explain only the
question or can we help them figure out the
solution and talk about what exactly is going
on behind the scenes?
2. Recording attendance was an issue. We
weren't sure if we should share the spreadsheet
with them, so we took it on paper and updated
it manually. It took a lot of unnecessary time.
We need to figure out another way to count
attendance of the lab.
3. There were two students attending from other
groups. I'm not sure how should we count their
attendance. | Aditya |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-07-31 | Introduction to Linux
commands(cd,mkdir,pwd,touch,gedit,g++,./a.out), lab
2 Assignments, difference between "\n" and endl,
why use return 0; when return 2; is also
possible.Significance of using namespace std.
Print a pattern using printf command of stdio.h
library. Print the ASCII value of the character
'A'. | Students should be informed that in windows command
promt linux commands(gedit and all) would not
support/work. There were queries regarding this.
Better suggest them to use codeblocks or online
editor ideone.com if using windows. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-07-31 | Explained the program of hello world and
celcious to Fahrenheit. Asked the students to
go through lecture 1 programs in extra time. | In lecture notes, simpio.h is used to take
input from console. We could not install it as
we did not have admin privileges of lab
computers. I request instructors to teach cin
to take console input. | Samir |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-08-01 | Revision of basic linux control - Note on Piazza
and Webmail - Hello World Program Revisited -
Explained variable declaration and initializing -
Explained cin in extra time. Proxy setting for
those who missed last day. | They didnt have basics of how variable work, so
main was to make them familiar with variables.
Queries to run on Windows - suggested codeblocks.
Basic errors with cout. Bit more explanation of
cout syntax. Some had queries as to why their code
is working without return 0, didn't go in deep on
that.
Queries on if they could leave earlier- Gave them
some tasks. | Ankesh |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses2 | 2018-08-01 | 1. Did hello world
2. Explained the -o header
3. Did the lab 2 provided and explained
types to the students. All the tests were
discussed on the board. | | Abhinav |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-08-02 | Did Hello World and Celsius to Fahrenheit
converter program on QTcreator. Explained
the different data type conversions. | Simpio.h was not installed on the machines
so we did not use that. | Shradha |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses1 | 2018-08-02 | 1. A recap of Hello World and the significance of
different parts of the code. Also, recap of cd, ls
etc commands.
2. Did the given lab. Urged students to try out
different combinations by themselves.
3. Asked them to find out and code how to take
celcius as user input. | The given lab did not have enough material to cover
over 2 hours. A lot of students were done within an
hour and had to be given the input exercise, which
they also managed to finish and then had to sit
idle. | Sangnie |
|---|
| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-08-03 | 1.Introduction of basic linux commands
2.Recap of hello world program
3.Explained meaning of syntax used in program
4.Did celsius to fahrenheit conversion program
5.Explained order of evaluation of operators | Some of student having problem with syntax like
when to use semicolon and curly braces. | Aditya mishra |
|---|
| Friday | Ses2 | 2018-08-03 | 1. A Recap of Hello World program
2. A recap of various Linux commands like
cd,ls,mkdir.
3. Did the given lab. Explained the concepts of
types and reasons for different outputs. | 1. Some had been to the lab for the first time, and
we had to work them out with setting up firefox,
login proxy and repeat the hello world program | Aman |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-08-06 | started by telling what is If else and how to use it.
explained first program of lab assignment 3,
there were few basic queries by some students from
what has been already taught in last labs so
explained those things again,
went on to second program of lab assignment 3 ,
explained that cin breaks the input stream
whenever it encounters a space, explined them to
use cin.get() or getline functions though many of
those were not able to implement them well due to
buffer flush problem
so we instructed them to move on to third question
They did third question well | There is a student from FITT named SV singh who
has got his login-password today only, there are
many issues related to his access and it is
suggested to contact him separately,
Gedit is getting crashed at many systems
simpio.h is not installed at many systems
since most of the students have not been able to
complete today's task and 2nd question is doe by
almost negligible so it is recomended to let the
same tasks contined in the next lab | Mayank Jain |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-08-07 | Running programs using Qt creator was
successfully performed along with the
usage of simpio.h . Around 20 percent of
people were able to complete all the 4
problems in time, 60 percent upto problem
3 and rest just got stuck in 2 problems. I
have asked them to post doubts on piazza. | Students were asking how to save in Qt
creator as we were modifying on the same
hello.cpp file. So many preferred gedit
over qt creator. But gedit crashed many a
times. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | | Asked the students to complete lab assignment 3.
As everything required to complete it was
explained in the class, we didn't go through it.
We just helped the individuals who needed it. | Since only one of the source files in src folder
of a project can have main function in it,
students are required to overwrite hello.cpp again
and again. Otherwise they need to comment out
their previously written codes if they keep all of
them in the same src folder. How can we solve this? | Samir |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-08-06 | Students were asked to read the lab assignments
from the course website. When they started
coding the first assignment they were unable to
use simpio.h for i/o so we taught then how to
take input using cin and they were able
complete the first part of the assignment. They
had many doubts while writing the code and we
personally answered every doubt but for common
doubts we addressed the entire lab. Part 1 of
the assignment was done by everyone. Part 2, by
all but 4 students. Part 3 by half of them and
only a few students coded part 4. | The attendance issue was fixed. Students still
hadn't registered on piazza so that's the first
thing we do for the next lab. | Phaneesh |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | | Demo for using QtCreator. Most of the students were unable to use
QtCreator. We did a step by step demo ensuring each of them got
started with it.
Explained common doubts which were coming in many cases like:
- difference between if (x==1) v/s if if (x=1)
- using quotes while using string and character constants
- taking input for space separated strings | Most of the time and attention of the students got consumed in
getting familiarised with QtCreator. Consequently, there were hardly
any efforts being made by the students to understand the code more
deeply. | Anuj Dhawan |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-08-09 | Followed the steps for Qt creator. Using
Qt creator and doing the first question
took lot of time. Explained how to take
inputs, to calculate modulo and various
syntaxes | Most of them could only complete the first
program and started working with the
second | Shradha |
|---|
| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-08-10 | Asked them to complete lab assignment 3 and
Explained how to take user input ,nested if else
and difference between = and ==. | some of students had problem with QTcreator,they
found it very difficult to use...and preferred
gedit over QtCreator. | Aditya mishra |
|---|
| Friday | Ses2 | 2018-08-10 | Students worked on QT Creator for the tasks in Assignment
3. Most of the people got how to work with QT and most of
them completed the first 2 tasks. | There were some students who were visiting the lab for Ist
time. Some people were using simpio.h while some were
using the traditional methods. Still, people are unclear
about the basic C++ syntax. | Paras |
|---|
| Saturday | Ses1 | 2018-08-11 | Lab3 completed. Taught them for loops, while
loops. Gave them practice questions. Created a
group on piazza and made them join that. Posted
questions and sample code for if-else. Discussed
some tricky for-while cases. Taught them to add
multiple files QT Creator | Nothing much | Ankesh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-08-13 | We started with registering the remaining students on
piazza. we explained to them in detail the first
question of the assignment. Many students made basic
loop mistakes so we explained the syntax and working
of single and nested for loops. Around 50% students
were able to complete all the programs. | Students were confused about taking input without
first prompting the user to enter a value. So
addressing this right at the beginning would be
helpful. | Phaneesh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-08-13 | The lab was dedicated to the graded assignment.
What to do, the deadline, etc was explained to the
students (although quite a few students already
knew this info). If students had doubts with the
questions, those were cleared. Roughly 75%
students were done with all three questions before
the lab ended. Only one student wasn't able to do
even one by the end. | 1. People couldn't understand what "one line of
input" in the question meant
2. People were confused about the reason why input
limits were specified. They thought they had to
output "invalid input" or words to that effect
when the input was out of bounds
3. A lot of confusion regarding submission. The
moodle UI has two different ways to submit, which
tripped up a lot of students | Aditya |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-08-14 | Instructions about how to create, edit and submit files on
Moodle were given. Question statement, if-else conditions,
for loops were explained in detail. Almost everybody
completed the first question, except 1-2 students. Many
people were able to complete all 3 programs. Students were
encouraged to post any further doubts on Piazza. | Students were not very clear about the input/output format
and using couts when not required. They were still facing
lots of syntactical problems in writing if-else and for loops. | Mahima |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses1 | 2018-08-16 | Almost 90% student had completed graded
assignment. So gave them additional
programs like reverse a number, then
reverse a string, gcd of 2 numbers etc.
Some people are really good, they solved
all of them. I made sure no one does input
output errors in moodle. | One old aged man often comes and sit in
the lab. He demands personal attention
very often as he is finding it very hard
to write cout even. So we find it really
difficult to give attention to other
students. Morally it feels bad to say no
to him but we had to. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | | We initially briefed them about the common doubts:
No prompts, no need to check for range, syntax of
if-else and for loops, etc. Most of the students
were able to complete all the three questions. Few
of them could not. | We initially told them that they can write the
code anywhere and paste it to moodle. But later we
realized that paste option was disabled for moodle. | Sruti |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-08-21 | Students attempted the ungraded lab assignment 5
and their doubts related to scope, splitting code
into functions and general implementation issues
were addressed. | | Vaibhav |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-08-27 | We completed all the problems in Lab Assignment 6.
The students are able to grasp the material really
well. I was expecting a lot of questions regarding
reference parameters but most of them understood
the working well. | No issues. | Phaneesh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-08-27 | Students completed lab assignment 5 and 6
successfully. | Many students were not familiar with QT creator at
all. They said that as it created problems, the
previous TA's asked them to do it in terminal. So
we had to again teach them QT creator from start. I
guess there are some other sessions too in which
till date QT creator is not introduced properly.
Kindly have a check on this. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-08-28 | Completed Assignment 6. Discussed and explained the
concepts of pass by value and pass by reference parameter
passing. | Most of the students were not clear about the parameter
passing concepts, specifically, Pass by value vs Pass by
reference.
I suggest that some practice material with very simple
coding questions/ predict the output can be given (or a link
to a similar online reference can be shared). | Anuj Dhawan |
|---|
| None | Ses2 | 2018-08-21 | Revised and demonstrated the concept of scope.
Students completed Assignment 5. | No issues | Samir |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-08-28 | Explained students about the concepts of pass by value and
pass by reference and gave demo programs for both.
Students were encouraged to try out sample programs by
changing the order of parameters, variable names,
reference variables and couts to understand better. All
students were able to complete first 2 questions and some
finished the 3rd. | No issues | Mahima |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-08-21 | 1. Asked students to solve ungraded lab5
2. Cleared doubts related to scope of variables | 1. Qt Creator was giving build issues on some
systems, so asked them to use gedit and g++ | Aman |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-08-29 | Lab Assignment 6 discussed. Call by value vs call
by reference. Post increment vs pre increment.
Minor 1 discussions. | Minor appeared difficult to people. Confusion
regarding call by value, reference argument
passing semantics. | Ankesh |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-08-30 | Made them run build.sh script.Explained the
concept of pass by value and reference.Discussed
lab 6 questions. | 40% students felt minor questions were
difficult.Some of them were asking about steps for
using simpio.h on Windows without QtCreator. | Shradha |
|---|
| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-08-31 | Discussion of lab assignment 6. Clarification of
call by value and call by reference. Some
clarification about the newton's method and what
does the initial estimate mean. | Students seem to be not very confident and
confused with call by value and reference. Also,
some students seem to be confused with scope rules
in general. They are sometimes not able to figure
out what variables go out of scope and when (eg.
some students were using the a,b,c variables
inside main while working in the mystery
function). May need a little bit of clarification
with the scope rules. | Vaibhav |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses2 | 2018-08-29 | | Need to logout and login for some students to
automatically source bashrc | Aman |
|---|
| Saturday | Ses1 | 2018-09-01 | asked students to solve the graded assignment 2.
most of them were able to solve question 1 and 2 in
the lab itself. | No issues | Aditya mishra |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-04 | Students were supposed to do the graded assignment-2. | Many students didn't know how to use mod(%)
operator. Students also encountered arithmetic
overflows in calculating approximation of pi. | Shubham |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-09-04 | Cleared doubts regarding assignment 2 | Nil | Saket |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-09-06 | Assignment questions were made clear.Explained
string data type and its functions,set precision. | | Sruti |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-05 | Explained Recursion. Cleared Graded A2 doubts.
Some discussions on semantics of pow function of
cmath. | None | Ankesh |
|---|
| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-09-07 | Student completed their graded assignment 2.
And some of them have completed their assignment
before so gave them some practice problems. | Some student were facing problem in type casting.
and still very few students are not familiar with
syntax. | aditya mishra |
|---|
| Saturday | Ses1 | 2018-09-08 | Ungraded assignment 8 | Apparently there was a huge confusion among
the students and most of them thought the lab
session was from 11 to 1 pm. When I reached
the lab at 1, most students said they were
waiting since 11 o clock.
I was told later that the confusion was
because of an accidental announcement by one
of the students, confusing a lab for another
course with COL100.
Either way, I think it will help if we send a
reminder email a day before if a lab is on a
special slot (e.g. Saturday). We can also ask
the students to send an email to col100-staff
in such a case.
Some students wanted to go early, since they
had been working for a few hours already. I
allowed attendance for them and helped out
the students who wanted to stay till 3. | Prashant |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses2 | 2018-09-05 | Cleared the doubts related to understanding of
problem given in graded assignment 2.
Explained how to print a real number up to some
specific decimal. and some basic operations on
strings. | Students were using integer data type for
factorial calculations, even if it going beyond
the range of integer. some of the students believe
that '^' can be used to calculate powers. i.e.
a^b. Most of the students are not comfortable with
strings. | Jasbir Singh |
|---|
| Friday | Ses2 | 2018-09-07 | Lab Assignment 7 and 8 | None, except that some (3-4) students found it too
easy, and were asking what to do next. I asked them
to write a progam to convert decimal numbers to
binary and vice-versa. | Aman |
|---|
| Saturday | Ses2 | 2018-09-08 | Lab Assignment 7 and 8 | None, except that some (3-4) students finished
everything yesterday, and were asking what to do
next. I asked them to write a program to calculate
the a^n using fast-power algorithm. | Aman |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-09-10 | Some students completed lab assignment 8
completely. But many were confused with
string operations So they couldnt
complete all the qns within time. | almost everyone is making a common
mistake. They are looping on the original
string length but checking condition on
the reduced string after applying string
erase method. So they were getting
exceptions. This thing needs to be
explained properly in class.
string find method return values on not
finding a substring and handling this case
was unclear to students. | Ruturaj |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-09-10 | We worked on lab assignment 8.
Most of the students were able to complete 3
questions and some finished 4th one too.
We tried different methods of solving the same
questions. | In Q2 some students were just printing the even
characters which gave them the required output. So
it'll be helpful if we make it clear in the
beginning. | Phaneesh |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-11 | Lab assignment 8 | Some students were struggling with
iterate-and-erase: they were iterating over the
length of the string while modifying it in the
loop body which was causing out_of_range
exception. Since this technique is widely useful,
some additional time can be devoted to it. | Abhishek |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-09-11 | Students did Lab Assignment 8 on moodle | No issues | Samir Vyas |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-11 | Ungraded Lab 8. | Students do not indent their code and often get confused
during balancing brackets in nested loops and conditionals.
If possible, we can write a piazza post to suggest students
how to make their code more readable which will help in
debugging and avoiding bugs. | Anuj Dhawan |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-12 | Ungraded Lab 8 | We can choose not to disclose whether the lab is graded or
ungraded to the students. It impacts their seriousness.
There were questions in the lab like who is gonna correct
the answers and all. | Mahima |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-09-13 | Did lab assignment 8 | Students were looping on the string length which
was getting changed due to which they got compile
errors
Many students are still using online compilers.
Instead of using stanford vector library, won't it
be better to use standard STL vectors.
Students want to know how they can use stanford
libraries on Windows machine | Shradha |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses1 | 2018-09-13 | Completed Lab assignment 8 | I also think that it is better for students to
know STL libraries instead of stanford libs so
that they'd able to tackle problems on online
platforms.
Many completed their lab early and many others
weren't serious about completing it since the lab
assignment is non-graded. I think we should
increase the frequency of graded lab assignments | Sourabh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-09-17 | Lab Assignment 9 (Graded Assignment 3) | (1) Students had to use C++ STL functions for
Vectors. We asked students to follow the
documentation on :
"https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vect
or". The vector functions such as "v.add()" and
"v.remove()" taught to students in class did not
match with the actual C++ functions "v.insert()"
and "v.erase()" respectively. (2) Students did
not know about iterators. We provided a minimal
idea of their functionality to get them started
on the assignment. A detailed idea of the same
could be provided by the instructors. (3)
Students also faced difficulties with other
functions such as "v.at()", "v[i]" and
"v.insert()". (4) Working with "v.erase()" is
tricky since it invalidates iterators. It would
help students to know this sorcery in more
detail. | Isaar |
|---|
| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-09-14 | Completed lab assignment 8,Some have
completed their assignment befor so gave
them some practice problems. | Students were facing problem in type
casting like they don't understand when
the result of any subexpression is integer
or float | Aditya mishra |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-18 | Graded Lab Assignment 3 | 1. Moodle backend doesn't work with the "vector.h"
library that was taught in class, so we had to ask
students to switch to the STL's <vector> library
which has a different API, leading to some confusion.
2. We need to know what g++ version and
compilation flags are used on Moodle. I saw many
cases where a student's code works on her machine
but doesn't work on Moodle.
3. We can also keep some test cases visible (while
keeping some hidden) to give the student some
feedback on why their code is failing. | Prashant |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-09-18 | Graded Assignment 3 | There was a confusion regarding Stanford's
Vector and STL's vector functions. This was
cleared in the lab as well as by the Piazza
Post. Also, the constraint of vector size in
the assignment is 10^4, while students are
inserting and erasing from vector at an
arbitrary index which will be O(n)(They won't
realize this). Another loop outside makes it
O(n^2) which may be giving timeout for many.
Therefore, either the concepts of complexity
must be taught or constraints must be made a
bit linient | Saket Dingliwal |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-09-20 | Helped students with basic difference between STL
and SPL vector. Also helped students with vector
of vectors | 1. Some of the test cases should be made visible
while others should be hidden. It helps students
to understand where their code is failing
2. Question 1 was still giving run time error for
O(n*n) solution
3. Since the students are new to coding, it will
be better if we give them to write the entire code
(including main) as anyways they have to write the
main function for local testing | Shradha |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-19 | Graded Assignment 3. Explained them about the iterators,
pointed out differences between STL and SPL functions. | Many students were getting timeouts, due to which there
was a lot of chaos towards the end. It can be specified in
the question what time complexity solution to be given. | Mahima |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-25 | Graded Lab Assignment 3 and Ungraded lab assignment 8 | Many students are getting tripped up because of
modifying the vector they are iterating on. Could
this be covered in class?
In nthPascalTriangle, some students were getting
segmentation fault because of assigning a large
array on stack. They need to know about stack vs heap. | Prashant |
|---|
| Thursday | Ses2 | 2018-09-27 | Students did Assignment 10. Many students printed
vector directly without using for loop. Students
were doubtful about whether to write the code or
logic for question 1 and 4. So we told them to
write the code. | None | Shradha |
|---|
| Friday | Ses2 | 2018-09-28 | Solving Assignment 10 and clearing doubts on
assignment tasks/ problem statement | Nothing as such. People were trying to come up
with algo. for questions. | Ankesh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-10-01 | Students solved practice problem set for minor 2. | vert few attended the extra lab.
most of them were asking problem from file
handling . | Aditya mishra |
|---|
| Monday | Ses1 | 2018-10-08 | Explained vector< vector<Type> > equivalence to
Grid<Type>. Few i/o stream doubts. | The assignment seems lengthy, almost none were
able to solve even the first question. Maybe
extend the deadline.
Also when stanford containers are explained it
would be better if equivalent stl containers are
explained too. | Sourabh |
|---|
| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-10-08 | Graded Assignment questions were explained to
students. They were able to complete one question
and some were able to do 2 questions. | Ask the students to use vector of vectors to solve
the problem involving grids. You will have to
explain them the concept. | Phaneesh |
|---|
| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-10-09 | Discussed Graded assignment 4, vector of vector
and its correspondence with Stanford grid library.
Almost all students were able to finish at least
one question. | The lab is challenging enough for the ending weeks
of the course. Since this lab involves writing
bigger codes, students will be more clear with
concepts of scope, nested loops, memory allocation
etc. | Shubhani |

| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2018-10-09 | Discussion on the Graded Assignment 4. Issues
related to vector of vectors were resolved. Some
confusion related to file I/O and string streams
were also discussed and resolved. | Some of the students were not able to understand
and appreciate taking input in vector of vectors
and their relevance to grids. Some students were
confused with the stream abstraction when they
were trying to read the file multiple times, with
the same stream, without closing and opening the
stream again. | Vaibhav |

| Wednesday | Ses1 | 2018-09-10 | Graded assignment 4. Almost all the students were clear
about basic file reading/writing. Everybody was able to
complete the first question. | Students write the entire code and then try to debug
instead of doing it piecewise, which makes it time-
consuming for them as well as TAs. Encouraged them to
debug the code at every step. | Mahima |

| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-10-12 | Graded assignment 4. | Most doubts were related to handling of vector of
vector and *fstream objects. Some students were
still somewhat confused about difference between
`push_back` and `operator[]`, especially with the
added complexity of vector of vector. | Abhishek |

| Monday | Ses2 | 2018-10-22 | We discussed the need for debugging and different
ways of going about it. | There were students who were still working on
their graded assignment 4. So there wasn't a lot
of debugging that was done in lab. That probably
will not be the case in sessions after the
deadline. This week's lab work doesn't take a lot
of time so we could actually revise previous
topics or give the students some extra debugging
practice. | Phaneesh |

| Tuesday | Ses2 | 2018-10-23 | Most of the students were still struggling with
debugging of graded assignment 4. Only one or two
started the ungraded assignment 12. | | Saket Dingliwal |
|---|
| Wednesday | Ses2 | 2018-10-24 | Discussed the GDB and balanced parentheses
problems. Discussed any other doubt in general. | Some students are not very clear with compilation
using terminal. We discussed the gdb tutorial in
detail and tried to clear their doubts side by side. | Vaibhav |

| Tuesday | Ses1 | 2019-10-30 | Students did partially graded assignment. | Please create a sheet so we can assign marks for partially
graded assignments. | Shubham Jain |

| Friday | Ses1 | 2018-11-13 | Lab assignment 14 | Some students faced the infinite recursion issue
and could not understand the problem; demonstrated
the issue using gdb. | Abhishek |
