Practice Independent Challenges

Week 2

The week 2 challenge is an intro to Object Oriented Programming. It will require students to build two classes that interact, as well as use an enumerable.

Example: Potluck

Week 3 | Midmod

Instructions:

• For the Mid Mod, no tests will be provided. You will be expected to TDD all work (which means creating all _spec.rb files and corresponding .rb files). See Pets and Customers README for more details.

Example Assessment:

• Pets and Customers: the entire repository
  • Iterations 1 - 2
  • Iterations 3 - 4(choose your own adventure):
    • Option 1: Groomer
    • Option 2: Day Care
    • Option 3: Veterinary Clinic

Additional Practice

For additional practice in a similar format to the week 2 IC, the World Cup challenge will require students to build three classes that interact. It will also involve a more complex enumeration problem that can't be solved with a single enumerable. Students will also need to access a Hash. While a slightly different format than the midmod, this is a good exercise for practice if you finish the practice assessments above.

Example: World Cup

Week 4

The week 4 challenge will involve three classes with only partial specifications. Students must think algorithmically to build an Object Oriented solution that solves the problem. Students will also be required to build a hash.

Examples: Boat Rental | Colorado Lottery

Weeks 5 and 6

The week 5 and 6 challenges are a test of a student's knowledge of OOP and Ruby mechanics. They will involve two or three classes that interact, iterating over a hash, and several methods that can't be built with a single enumerable.

The week 5 challenge will be a practice for the final in week 6.

Examples: Reunion | Museo
