I’ve been really busy with evaluating student coursework in two courses. Some of this work was postponed in Feb/March since I participated in the international MSc program selection process then.
I have been considering posting shorter news like things or just small snippets of work I have been doing. Just to keep this blog alive.
So here is a screenshot of something I did in between the course evaluations — potentially a new exercise to be used in the Data structures and algorithms course next Fall. A small utility that converts plain Finnish text to braille symbols.

The job for the students is to generate the braille version faster than the naive lookup table looping implementation they get ready, using hash tables.
Another thing I did was for a course on GUI design & programming:

The purpose of this stupid card guessing game was to demonstrate how to implement a simple GUI test automation and execute the tests in simulator environment.
That’s it for today. Now back to evaluating those student programming assingments…
