Q001:
     CIS 701   QUIZ 01   PROF.  AUCIELLO
    
     EXPLANATION:  
               
          This lesson-quiz represents some 'break-through'  thinking:
          For example, we are working on the premise that the student
          is a  committed and  active  'participant' in the  learning 
          process; and work is migrating to the Web that can delivers 
          instruction, provide 'forums', enable critical-thinking and
          and research, uses 'peer-learning' principles, and provides 
          'positive-attendance' and highly interactive, participative 
          environment that can function synchronously  (real-time) or
          asynchronously (anytime, anywhere)!

          Therefore, these quizzes are non-threatening. The rules are
          that you must respond to each question,   and that you will
          compare and  discuss  your  answers with other  students or 
          instructor, ("team learning") and keep re-taking the quiz
          until you feel that it is at the '100%' level.  You will be 
          graded on your last and best quiz.

          To say it another way, I am using some Form-to-File Web
          Technology to give you Read and Write access to a shared
          file (virtual discussion group based on assigned topics).

          Your IP address and date submitted are recorded along with
          your choices.  Each time you submit, you can view the
          answers of others, and even print them out!   You are
          expected to build on what you read, and do more thinking
          and research and submit responses in your own words.  In
          other words, learn from what you read, and improve on it,
          and make it yours.   Finally, at the end of the lesson,
          -- when you know that you understand it -- say "Mr. A. --
          I got this lesson, thank you -- and type your name.

          We will start now:  it is meant to be an extension, an
          enhancement, a digital alternative to class instruction,
          a forum-group, an online seminar, and opportunity to 
          improve on the High Performance Classroom concept. 

          Please add value, and earn extra points for improving 
          the system.



   1) Talking about Grading ...

      4500 = A.  4000 = B. 3500 = C, etc.

      For every class day that you sign in and read the posted
      information, you will receive 50 Points (Max 200 / week).

      For each Project that you do, that is printed out and 
      put in your Project Notebook, 100 Points (as many as you
      can do). These Projects demonstrate your Computer / Internet
      and document your grade. "PUTTING POINTS ON THE GRADE-SCOREBOARD."

      For Helping Another Student to complete His / Her Project,
      50 Points per day (Max 200 / week).  Document these points
      on the Extra Credit Worksheet (posted on our website).

      There are some old-type,  DOS-Based Quizzes (That I have not
      yet converted to a Web-Language).  You will earn 25 Points
      for each quiz passed for maximum of 1000 points. 

      There are over 100 Projects posted under  "CIS 701 - D.E."
      FIND THEM, AND START ANYWAY, AND DO AS MANY AS YOU CAN IN
      ANY ORDER THAT YOU PLEASE.  (SOME  STUDENTS DO THEM ALL, AND
      KEEP COMING BACK TO GET THE NEW ONES.)

      When you think that you understand the grading policy, and
      the 'team concept',  just write:  "I got this, Mr. A."

Q002:  Answer this question only when you have
           all the materials.

             to see the power of multi-media to communicate.
