  • Check the questions/solutions in this document and then Technical Support Forum on Moodle. If you can't find the solution, send an email to [email protected].

  1. Teaching.Codes Plugin displays 'Nothing to show'

    • If you have a Macbook with M1 chip

      • Make sure that you install PyCharm 2021.2.2 for Intel with Rosetta 2.
      • Then follow the next steps in Installation Guide
      • You may also have to disable SIP following this link.

    • Otherwise,

      • Make sure you do not extract the Teaching.Codes zip file.
      • Download the Teaching.Codes zip using Chrome instead of Safari.
      • Then, reinstall the plugin by following Teaching.Codes guide

  2. I can't see the button names in the plugin

    • Change the theme by following these steps:

      • Inside PyCharm, for Windows, click File-->Settings; for MacOS, click PyCharm-->Preferences and find Appearance&Behavior on the left.
      • Go into Appearance under Appearance&Behavior
      • Change Theme from Intellij Light to something else. (Darcula seems fine.)
      • Click OK

  3. Teaching.Codes plugin disappeared

    • To open the plugin, click View > Tool Windows > Teaching.Codes

  4. I have deleted the contents of Main.py

  • Restore it from Main.py.txt under corresponding question's src folder

  1. I can't see the Question description
  • Open the Question.html under WebContent in a browser
  • Right click on Question.html file
  • Click Open in Browser.
<img src="figures/HTML_Browser.png"  style="zoom:50%;" />
  1. If there are multiple questions and you see the same description for both questions or still blank page.

  • Right click on Question.html file

  • Choose "Show in Explorer/Finder". This step open the folder that contains the html file.

  • From the folder, open the html file.

  1. I can't see the Exam Results

    • Log out, and log in to the Teaching.Codes plugin.
    • Select the class from the Navigator. Wait a while for the class to load.
    • Click the ExamResults tab. When you click Open under a question, if nothing is happening:
      • Click the Projects tab on the left of ExamResults
      • Then, go into ExamResults once again. Now, when you click Open, you should be able to see your results.

  2. What counts as cheating:

    • Information exchange between students: Giving and Receiving information to/from your colleagues both count as cheating.
    • Using codes from any source other than the materials of our course: You can consult internet or books to learn and improve your programming skills. But you shouldn't use any material that is not your own work in the projects and exams.
