Regrade Requests

If you believe there’s an error in grading (be it a lab, apt, or assignment), submit the regrade request form within one week of the grade being posted.

Late Submissions:

• APTs should be submitted by 11:59 pm ET on the due date. A 24-hour grace period allows you to turn in APTs the next day. No submissions are accepted after that.
• If unforeseen circumstances hinder your course progress, please fill out the extension request form.

Troubleshooting APT Issues:

1. File Naming: Ensure the file name is correct. It’s case-sensitive and should end in “.py”.
2. Function Naming: The function should start with def, ensuring it’s named correctly.
3. Initial Test: Start with a basic return (like return 0, return "", or return []) to verify that the function and file naming. You won’t have the correct answer, but you should see grey and green boxes.
4. Return Type: Check if you’re returning the correct data type (e.g., integer, string, list).
5. Time Limit Exceeded: If facing this error, add a print statement, like print("Starting function"), at your function’s beginning. Run it to see if it displays.
6. Unusual Imports: The autograder can only use the libraries we have covered in this class. If you have unusual import statements (e.g., from StdSuites.Text_Suite import word), remove them.
7. Debugging with Python Tutor: If your code isn’t working as expected, copy it into Python Tutor for an in-depth analysis. If you have complex one-liners, break them down to understand intermediate results. For instance, change x = stuff.lower().find('x') to:

   temp = stuff.lower()
   x = temp.find('x')
