Pull request overview
This PR bundles several “UI polish stretch goals” into the StudentProductivityApp, including new settings-driven personalization, bulk assignment deletion, and a first pass at assignment notifications (plus build tooling bumps).
Changes:
- Add a unified settings dialog to set display name, choose theme mode, and sync Canvas assignments.
- Add “Clear” (delete all) action on the tasks/schedule screen and introduce notifications infrastructure for upcoming assignments.
- Update build tooling versions (Gradle wrapper / AGP) and adjust a few UI layouts.

- These RadioButton IDs are set to AppCompatDelegate night-mode constants. MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM is -1, which equals View.NO_ID, so the "System" option won't behave correctly (RadioGroup.check(-1) clears selection and clicks may not register as expected). Use generated view IDs for the radio buttons and map the selected button to the desired night-mode value separately.

| [SQUEAKING] [RUSTLING] [CLICKING] ANA BELL: All right, so welcome to the first lecture of 6.100L. That's our new number. My name is Ana Bell. That's two separate names, first name Ana, last name Bell-- super confusing. But I've been a lecturer here in the EECS Department for probably almost 10 years now. And I've been doing the intro course for a while. I'm really happy to be teaching this full semester version of 6.100A. So today what we're going to do is go over a little bit of course administrative information, | ||
|
|
||
| 00:00:49 | ||
| and then we'll dive right into some thoughts about computers, high level how they work. And then we'll start going into some Python basics. So we're going to get coding right away. So I highly encourage you, since you're in this class, to download the lecture slides beforehand, to take notes, and run code when I do. Some of the lectures are interactive. And we'll have breaks, so there'll be a place where you can take a break to actually do some coding. And that's important-- | ||
|
|
||
| 00:01:18 | ||
| I call them "you try it" breaks. That's important to make sure that you're actually practicing what we are learning right at this time. The main idea for lectures is, yes, I will do some teaching, but there will also be opportunities for questions and for you guys to try some programming right on the spot. Even if you don't finish writing a program that we start talking about, I will finish it, and we can all talk about it together. And I'll show you some pitfalls and things like that. | ||
|
|
||
| 00:01:46 | ||
| There will be lots of opportunities to practice in this class at various degrees of granularity. And then there's also lots of opportunities that I have in the handouts to do extra practice at home and through a bunch of different resources as well. The reason why I stress participation and practice is because part of the reason you're here is you want to learn how to program. You don't know how to program yet. And programming is actually a skill. it's like math or reading. It's something that you have to practice. | ||
|
|
||
| 00:02:18 | ||
| You can't just watch me type in a bunch of lines of code And then when it comes time to do the quiz, you automatically know how to do it. You need to do it often, more and more so that it becomes sort of second nature. So the three big things you'll get out of this class are knowledge of concepts, obviously-- we're going to learn some computer science ideas-- programming skill, and problem solving-- problem solving skills. Lectures and exams basically help you with your knowledge of-- test your knowledge of concepts | ||
|
|
||
| 00:02:50 | ||
| and help you get knowledge of concepts. Finger exercises give you the programming skills. And the problem sets help you with problem solving. Basically, if you're given an English version of-- a problem in English, how do you go from that to thinking about what computer science concepts can I apply? And then after that, how do I take those computer science concepts and actually do the programming? So what are some topics we'll be covering? We will be, at the core of it, learning computational thinking. | ||
|
|
||
| 00:03:25 | ||
| So in the future, when you encounter a problem, your first thought shouldn't be, How do I mathematically solve this? or, How do I brute force or manually solve this problem? How can I apply computation to help me solve this problem? And throughout these lectures, you're going to see some examples of us applying computation to a problem you might have already seen and maybe solved mathematically, which is pretty cool. Obviously, to get that, we're going to learn the Python programming language. | ||
|
|
||
| 00:03:55 | ||
| Once we get the basics, we're going to see how we can start to structure our code to look a little bit better so we don't just have a bunch of code dumped in a file. We're going to start to organize our code and see how we can make it neat, readable, and modular. And then towards the-- not in this lecture but in a couple of lectures and as a theme throughout this class, we're going to look at some algorithms. They're not super complicated, but they're kind of the base algorithms for a bunch of algorithms | ||
|
|
||
| 00:04:26 | ||
| you might see in the future if you decide to take more CS classes. Lastly, towards the end of the class, we're going to see algorithmic complexity, which basically means we're going to start asking or trying to answer the question, how do we know the programs we write are efficient? We can write programs, but how do we know that they're fast, and how do we know that they don't take up all the memory in the computer? So things like that, comparing different algorithms that do the same thing against each other. | ||
