As of Feb-22-2001:

Get 701-Map Assignment. Using Paint (Paintbrush), modify / personalize map in some way. (100). And/Or go to Yahoo, get map of your zip code, copy, and paste to Word, crop it, use Textbox to\ show location of local library (100). Take at least 10 quizzes per week. Operate the Grade Program.

As of Feb-15-2001:

At this point you should be able to take quizzes on your ‘start’ disk, and be able to grade them in K-307. Please use these quizzes to expand your knowledge, and do at least 10 per week at 20 points each.

You should have an email address. See the 701 help file on ‘getting an email address’ if you have to. Sign up with hotmail, or yahoo, or whatever provider you choose. (100 points for sending me email to cyberprof@hotmail.com)

You should also at this point be able to download ‘Total Quality Management’, "Deming’s 14 Principles", and comment on them (short comments), stash in your viewbinder. (100 points each)

You may also do the same with ‘Principles of Total Communication’. (100)

Earlier we covered creating fonts – see 701-fonts -- you can do that assignment (or any assignment on the list, right?) (100)

Hopefully, you have your picture, and try to insert it into a word document. (image with text – 701-image). (100)

We did an assignment where our last names were looked up using ‘goto’ or ‘google’, and printing the results. (100)

Also, you can earn 100 points by winning at solitaire, and explaining your strategy, and using <Print Scrn> and copy to paste your winning array of cards into a document, that along with the statement of strategy will earn you points.

All work must be put in your viewbinder, and available for me to check. Also store your work on a floppy, not the ‘Start’ quiz disk. (you should own about 4 extra floppies and a carrying case at this point). Save your work by clicking file -- Save-As (select A:) or just type in the name in the file location box:

A:\701-sol.doc

So, at this point, you should have a start disk, be able to send email, pull assignments from the web, look at the help files, and ‘check-in’ files (these also can earn credit), and navigate the page and read the assignments posted, and you should know about working in a ‘team environment’.

Some students may opt to develop a home page, so bring in photos and I will check you out on using the scanner.

Cis 757:

As of Feb.22.2001: We took Ilda's page as a template, and distributed it. The template includes picture, music, resume, hobbies, career, likes, Music-Art. Upload it to your site. All links should work perfectly. Be sure hobby, likes, career are done. Be ready to insert link from my page. Be able to FTP.

As of Feb.15.2001: You should have some html reference guide: either download one from our class page, buy the ‘quick start’ for 3.95 (bookstore) or pick up any html textbook.

You have to be able to look up topics -- for example the syntax of the ‘mailto:’ command.

You should be well along with your homepage: main page (index.html), and career.htm, hobbies.htm, and likes.htm. I have passed out several templates in class. Use whatever you like.

You should have a web address. Some students got space on tripod.com.

You should be a bit familiar with uploading files to your site, using FTP (see me) or a file manager program. Uploading skill is vital.

 You should be able to use some image editor: MS Photo Editor, of Liveview, Graphics Workshop, Adobe.

You should have put together some art works with music, and linked them on your index.html under Music-Art.

(this assignment came out real well, and take a look at what some of the students came out with. High Creativity run on High Technology! Literally, a ‘nice show’!)

We will be looking at the javascript in "scrolling banner" shortly.

You should be able to handle, text color, background color (understanding how some color can complement each other more), music, and images.

Soon it will be expected that you will have an operating home page with the mentioned career, hobby, likes, and art-music links, and have it uploaded, and provide me with its link so i can list you on the the class page!

There are 15-20+ ‘757’ projects on the page. Go ahead and move ahead as you can.

Coming up, we will use FrontPage on our homepages. You can get ready for that by starting now, and/or getting access to the program.

The class requires some type of "slide show" so you may start investigating that now. I have several slide shows on my page.

Also, we will add video to your page, coming up.

Mostly, work the assignments labeled ‘757’ and to be sure that you get credit, print them out and put in a viewbinder as well as posting them on your site.

CIS 790:

Feb.22.2001: Find Temperature Conversion in 790. Compile the source code. Prove that it works from Cent to Fahren. Then carefully modify it to accept Fahren and output Centigrade. (100) Look up any Instructions you don't understand. Take snapshop of output paste it and source code into Word. Save this doc for posting it later on your website. (100)

Feb.15.2001: This week we worked on assignment ‘1d’ -- "Hello, World" applet.

At this point, you can use the java compiler. You can edit java source files, and compile as a .class object, insert that into html and test it, right? You have to be at this point or see me right away.

We have compiled several assignments: amatha3, ahd hwloop. (100 points each).

This week we discussed how to create colors using the color statement where values of red, green, and blue were created. (100)

You should also be aware of the structure of a java program: library links, global definitions, init(0), paint() procedures, and event-trapping.

The most recent assignment asked you to comment each line of code in hwloop.java. (100)

Earlier we did an assignment in javascript. You may submit this for 100 points.

Practice if you can, understanding java error messages: I will be giving a debugging assignment shortly.

You need to have some java ref material. Get a text for ref and/or a Quick Start guide.

Just so that you have the entire range of the course in your hands, go ahead and download all of the projects listed under ‘790’, and you can use them for reference help.

You should know what is an applet, a bit of html, how to edit, compile, run, how the ‘cache’ works, how to do make minor changes, and program structure. You should also understand ‘looping’ – from the Hello World assignment in javascript.

For those who want to move ahead fast, there are some programming projects on the page. Arrays, files, and event-trapping are important topics.

There is also a Slide Show assignment that is challenging.

I plan to add music to applets soon.

There are ‘animation’ projects on the page that like any project, you can work and submit for credit.

Loretta got her picture on one of the programming assignments. She did it in html. Look for the html code to do it, on a recent handout or on the web. (100 points)

There are over 25 projects on our page. You can do take on any or all of them. Usually they contain the instructions on how to do them.

Essentially, Java is an extremely powerful language, especially because it can run on the web! Work it slowly, build on the program templates provided. Save your programs using consecutive names, hwloop1 ... Hwloop2 ... Move ahead carefully, methodically, testing one new feature each time.

 You should also get a home page, as you will post your assignments on it, per the course outline.
