Q001:
     CIS 757   QUIZ 03   PROF.  AUCIELLO

     
     

          EACH QUIZ IS WORTH 200 POINTS.

          WE NEED A LITTLE DISCUSSION ON HOW TO DO THE ATTEND / PARTIC.

          HERE IS THE FORMAT:

          0123.CHAPA.ARNOLD.2001.06.12.550.(att+ast+lakers+701q1)

          RESPOND TO EACH QUESTION:

   -->    DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT A '.' (PERIOD) SEPARATES EACH FIELD?
          
          THE ASCII COLLATING SEQUENCE MOVES LEFT TO RIGHT, WITH 
          LETTERS (65-90) RATED HIGHER THAN NUMBERS (48-57), SO
                    A-Z                               0-9

          0123.CHAPA.ARNOLD.2001.06.12.550
                     SORTS HIGHER THAN
          0123.CHAPA.ARNOLD.2001.06.11.550    

   -->    DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?  ("DON'T UNDERSTAND" IS AN OK ANSWER
                                     THIS IS AN ADVANCED CONCEPT.)

          YOUR PORTFOLIO-NOTEBOOK DOCUMENTS YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
          YOU SHOULD HAVE PLASTIC SHEET COVERS.

  -->     DO YOU HAVE A VIEWBINDER WITH PLASTIC SHEET COVERS?
          IF NOT, WHEN WILL YOU HAVE THIS?
          (AS A CLASS PROJECT, WE WILL BUY A BOX OF 200 AT COSTCO
           TO GET THE BULK DISCOUNT -- ELSE THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.)

          THE ATTEN / PARTIC FORM SHOWS A RUNNING TOTAL OF YOUR
          ATTENDANCE AND TOTAL POINTS TODATE. IT IS A VALUABLE
          VERIFIABLE RECORD OF YOUR PERFORMANCE.  IT IS A GRADE BOOK,
          SIGN-UP SHEET, AND A STATISTICAL DATA BASE THAT MAPS, TRACKS
          YOUR PERFORMANCE,  AND CAN BE USED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION
          IF YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE FALLING BEHIND,  IT ALSO RECOGNIZES
          SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE.

  -->     RESPOND WITH 'AGREE' OR 'DISAGREE' AND A COMMENT.
          
               

Q002:  NOTES ON THESE QUIZZES:

           EACH OF THESE QUIZZES IS WORTH 200 POINTS, AND THEY ARE
           REQUIRED!   THAT IS, YOU CAN NOT PASS THE CLASS WITHOUT
           DOING ALL THE QUIZZES!  (ABOUT 5 OR 6 OF THEM -- I WRITE 
           1 PER WEEK). 

           THE IMPORTANT CONCEPT ABOUT THESE QUIZZES IS --
           THAT YOU AND YOUR CLASSMATES SHARE A COMMON VIRTUAL CLASSROOM,
           AND YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO READ WHAT THEY SAY, AND BUILD ON
           THEIR THOUGHTS TO CREATE YOUR OWN.  LEARN FROM EACH OTHER,
           THINK ABOUT YOUR RESPONSES, AND STATE YOUR OWN 'SMACK' --
           SAY IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS -- PERSONALIZE AND INTERNALIZE THE
           INFORMATION -- MAKE IT YOURS AND WRITE IT DOWN!

           ========================================================


           ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

           1.  WHAT BACKGROUND COLOR SHOWS OFF BLACK TEXT THE BEST?

           2.  SHOWS OFF BLUE TEXT THE BEST?

           3.  IS THERE A RULE OR SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE FOR THIS?
               IF SO, WHAT IS IT?
             
           

Q003: 

          START757 QUIZZES:

          HERE IS GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS:

          THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THESE QUIZZES ONLY REINFORCE
          A CERTAIN TYPE OF LEARNING -- SHORT MEMORY, QUICK
          RESPONSE [NOT, DEEP, PROFOUND, CRITICAL THINKING!]

          THEY HAVE A CERTAIN USEFULNESS.  USE THEM TO ACQUIRE
          INFORMATION.  BUILD UP YOUR QUICKNESS.  DONT FALL IN
          LOVE WITH THEM.  QUICKNESS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH
          CRITICAL THINKING.

          THE GOOD NEWS IS -- 

          MY DAUGHTER CYNDI USED MY SET OF VOCABULARY LESSONS
          (CURRENTLY NOT SUPPLIED) TO PREPARE FOR THE GRE, 
          (I MADE 50 LESSONS WITH 10 WORDS EACH),,
          AND HIT HIGH VERBAL  SCORES AND WENT TO ONE OF THE
          BEST GRAD SCHOOLS.

          I PASSED THE DMV EXAM WITH 0 OR 1 ERRORS AFTER TAKING
          AND PASSING MY OWN  DMV EXAMS.  ( YOU TOO CAN USE THEM.)

          THESE EXAMS ARE A CARRYOVER FROM 'LEGACY' PROGRAMMING --
          ASK ME WHEN I WILL CONVERT THEM TO THE WEB -- MAYBE LATER
          THIS SUMMER.

          BUT, THEY ARE CLEAN, HELPFUL (ESP. WITH THE PRINTOUT)
          AND GO A LONG WAY TOWARD BUILDING READING COMPREHENSION
          OF TECHNICAL MATERIAL.


          ANOTHER PLUS:  THEY WILL HELP PREPARE YOU FOR THE MICROSOFT
                         FRONT PAGE CERTIFICATION EXAM.  DONT TRY THIS
                         EXAM WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO USE FP, THOUGH.

                         THEORETICAL KNOWELDGE ALONE WILL NOT PASS THIS
                         EXAM.


          ANY WAY, THERE ARE 150 QUIZZES; YOU NEED TO PASS
          50 @ 20 POINTS EACH FOR A MAX CREDIT OF 1000 POINTS.

          I WILL SET UP A COMPUTER TO GIVE YOU A GRADE SUMMARY SHEET
          (GRADE YOUR QUIZZES BY COMPUTER). BUT YOU KNOW IF YOU PASSED
          A QUIZ IF YOU DONT GET THE 'RETAKE QUIZ' MESSAGE.

    --->  YOUR COMMENTS, PLEASE.          
   

Q004: MOVING AHEAD:


          GO AHEAD, AND DO ANY OR ALL OF THE PROJECTS IN THE

           2)  ASK ME TO USE SOME HIGH-QUALITY PHOTO PAPER
               TO DEMO ITS SUPERIORITY.

           3)  PRINTER NOT WORKING?   LOG OFF AND BE SURE THAT
               YOU ID THE COMPUTER  AS   'K-304'  (IT CONNECTS
               YOUR STATION TO THE 'PRINTER-GROUP')

           4)  ASK ME FOR SOME EQUIP.  REPAIR FORMS.  PLS FILL THEM
               OUT IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS, SO THE TECH CAN FIX THEM
               LATER IN THE DAY.
               
   --->    RESPOND TO QUESTION 1.  COMMENT AS YOU LIKE.

Q007:  BUILDING WEB SITE:

           1)  SIGN UP WITH TRIPOD (OR ANY OTHER FREE SERVICE)
               AS A MEMBER TO GET A WEB LOCATION.


           2)  SEE IF  'FTP' IS ON YOUR COMPUTER (GET HELP WITH
               FTP FROM ME).  LEARN TO UPLOAD YOUR FILES.

           3)  FINISH 'CAREER', HOBBIES, LIKES PARAGRAPHS.
               (USE MODELS IN VIRT-CLASS 'STUDENTS' PAGES)

           4)  BE READY TO UPLOAD THESE ALONG WITH yourname.htm
               (to be renamed 'index.html') ALONG WITH OUR PICTURE.
         
   --->    HOW FAR ALONG WITH THIS ARE YOU AT THIS TIME?
