Classroom Mentor

  • When you post a question or comment, you can expect a reply within 24 hours (i.e. communication isn't Live).

  • So any technical questions that you have will have to be posed in a way that is clear, so that I can answer them directly (i.e. if I need clarification on any parts of your question then they will be difficult to answer, and will lead to a frustrating time lag for you).

    • Include a link to the quiz, where relevant.
    • Include any code, where relevant.
  • Classroom mentors do not review projects before submission (We can clarify questions that you have about the requirements or review comments but we can't pre-review projects). Once you are happy that you have met the requirements (laid out in the project Rubric), then you are ready to submit your project.

Posting Code in the Chat Window:

  • On separate lines, before and after your code, you put three backticks (which are beside 1 on a QWERTY keyboard ` 1 2 ) - which looks like (See the footnote for other keyboard layouts 1):

    alt text

  • To move to a new line, in the chat window, use Shift + Enter at the same time.

  • Note: Any spaces on the lines with 'backticks' will produce very odd formatting.

  • For example:

    alt text

  • That is, the individual steps are:

    1. Type three backticks.

    2. Press Shift + Enter at the same time (to move to a new line).

    3. Copy and paste your code directly into the window.

    4. Press Shift + Enter at the same time (to move to a new line).

    5. Type three backticks.

Posting Code on an External Site:

You can post your code at http://pastebin.com/ - No Login is required

  1. Go to http://pastebin.com/

  2. Copy and paste your code into the window in pastebin

  3. Select the appropriate syntax highlighting (type the first few letters of the language).

  4. Click Create New Paste and copy the URL and post that URL in the chat window

    alt text

(Note: There are many different external sites that allow you to post code. Feel free to use the service that you prefer).
