Your assignment IS NOT to get grasshopper working.
Your assignment IS:
- to TRY to get grasshopper working, and
- to WRITE DOWN exactly what happened, so I will know things like:
- what went wrong?
- how far did you get?
- what questions you were asked?
- which steps gave you trouble?
- what error messages did you see?
- what folders did you save things in?
- what were the names of files you clicked?
- etc. (= and so on, ...)
- what went wrong?
- You are not required to write down everything that appears on the screen. (That would take hours!)
- But you are required to say more than just "I could not get it to download" (for example). That does not help me to solve your problem, which is to get you running this at home.
The writing is as important as the trying. In some ways it is even important than actually getting grasshopper to work, becuase:
- It will be evidence that you tried (and I need evidence to give you a grade).
- It will help me understand what went wrong.
- It will be your own very personal notes about how to install some software, which you can use in the future if you need to install something like this again.
You must place your homework sheet into the assignment box at the beginning of ICT class on the day it is due. If you cannot not get grasshopper to work you will still get a good grade if you submit a good report. But a bad report will earns a bad grade, even if you get grasshopper to run perfectly.
