  • Assignment 3 1/21/2015
    Assignment 3 1/21/2015 The University of Wollongong School of Computer Science and Software Engineering CSCI124/MCS9124 Applied Programming Spring 2010 Assignment 3 (worth 6 marks) • Due at 11.59pm Thursday, September 9 (Week 7). Aim: Developing programs with dynamic memory and hashing. Requirements: This assignment involves the development of a database for a cinema. The program is designed to look up past movie releases, determining when the film was released, the rating it received from the Classification Board and its running time. To accelerate the lookup, a hash table will be used, with two possible hash functions. The program will report how efficiently the table is operating. Storage will be dynamic, enabling the space used by the program to be adjusted to suit the datafile size. The program must clean up after memory usage. During development, the program may ignore the dynamic nature until the program is working. As an addendum, the assignment also involves the use of compiler directives and makefiles. Those students who use a platform other than Linux/Unix will be required to ensure that their programs comply with the specifications below. The program is to be implemented in three files: ass3.cpp contains the simplest form of main function, hash.h contains the function prototypes of the publicly accessible functions, where the implementations of these functions will be placed in the file hash.cpp. The first two files should not be altered, although you may write your own driver programs to test your functions during development. The third file contains the stubs of the four public functions, plus a sample struct for holding the records, usable until they are changed for dynamic memory.

Adams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: James Trier, Ph.D. Cheryl Mason Bolick, Ph.D. Heather Coffey, Ph.D. Deborah Eaker-Rich, Ph.D. George Noblit, Ph.D. © 2011 Reid L. Adams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Reid L. Adams: Pop Culture and Pedagogy: Taking Up School Documentaries in Teacher Education (Under the direction of James Trier) In the forward to Reading Television , Fiske and Hartley (2003) write that television programs ”constitute a gigantic empirical archive of human sense-making, there for the taking, twenty-four/seven” (p.xviii). In addition, this “gigantic empirical archive” also includes fiction films, video games, documentary films, commercials, news media, radio, Internet, and many other forms of mass-produced visual media found in popular culture. In this dissertation I explore a particular piece of this contemporary archive. I suggest pedagogical projects based on a cultural studies analysis of “school docs,” a particular genre of documentary films that I have defined and catalogued. This genre includes such documentary films as: Hoop Dreams (1994) , Mad Hot Ballroom (2004), OT: Our Town (2002) , Stupid in America (2006), Waiting for Superman (2010), and The War on Kids (2009). The pedagogical projects that I conceptualize are intended to explore issues and topics relevant to teacher education coursework; specifically issues and topics associated with the teaching of Social Foundations of Education.
