About MagercisesA Magercise is a flexible exercise designed to provide help according to the needs of the student. For example, some students will simply complete the exercise given the information and the task list in the Magercise body; some students may want a few hints while others may want a step-by-step guide to successfully complete a particular Magercise. Students may use as much or as little help as they need per Magercise. Moreover, since complete solutions are also provided, students can skip a few Magercises and still be able to complete future Magercises requiring the skipped ones.Magercise ContentsEach Magercise has a list of any prerequisite Magercises, a list of skeleton code for you to start with, links to necessary API pages, and a text description of the Magercise goal. In addition, the following information is available via five buttons:
Magercise Design GoalsThere are three fundamental magercise types:
Where possible, the programmer shall be relieved from chores that are irrelevant or unrelated to the technique or concept under examination. Where reasonable, a common thread shall run through the magercises for each lab section. Given the constraints of the technique or concept under examination, the magercises shall be made as interesting or useful as possible without presenting an overly-complex programming problem to the student. Magercises shall execute via the web unless a particular concept related to non-web execution is required or the browser does not support the capabilities yet. In addition, magercises that must access Java features or library elements causing web security violations are not executed on the web. |
