JULY.17.06 |
Since
this is only a 5 week course and you need at least 3500 points
for a "A", you need to earn at least 700 points per week,
50% of which must be projects from Online Quizzes (step #5).
You can earn points by studying computer vocabulary, of which
there now are (3) ways:
1.
New: "Complete-the-Definitions" lessons, such as
https://auciello.tripod.com/vocab02.html, etc, listed
at
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex700.html.
(counts as ONLINE work)
2. New: Select words from the 852-word
vocabulary list at
https://auciello.tripod.com/vocab852.doc and
rewrite their definitions, and submit them to
https://auciello.tripod.com/vocab852.html.
This method has you studying terminology, then rewriting
then submitting definitions. (counts as ONLINE work)
3. "Start
Disk". This is kind of embarassing because I am
always talking about "avoiding legacy", old-technology,
and I am still using this system from the 90's that I wrote in
dBase and DOS! (what is that?) (Emily take 100
points, you got me on this!)
Originally
programmed for my daughter to help her with Graduate Record Exam
vocabulary (it worked -- she got her Master's, later a law
degree). It uses the format of presenting complete
sentences, in a timed procedure, making the user match
words with their definitions. It is kind of fun. It is
fast and instructive! But, it is purely text-based!
(No visual learning which is what I am about now.) It was
soooo good that it is hard for me to replace it, but I am trying
with the new vocabxxx formats (#1 above). Pick up a Start
Disk from me in K302 any Tues morning, or contact my CIS
TA, Renee, at
reneedaltoncista@yahoo.com or contact me,
joseph@auciello.net to
get a copy. Later, I will instruct you to email me your
disk during finals week so I can verify the quizzes that you
took and submitted for points.
Your quiz results
will be uploaded automatically to my website, in the current and
next version ... so the beat goes on ... the old just keeps
getting upgraded. email me for 50legacy points, if you
understand. (does not meet the requirement that 50% of
your work must be from ONLINE quizzes)
IN
ANY CASE, there are a max of 2000 points available for
Vocabulary from any (mix and match) source per class. You
can't obviously use the same points for two different classes,
of course, but with over 6000 possible vocabulary points, you
can find a way! And of course this puts a lot of
vocabulary on my Virtual Classroom for you to learn!
Go
for it. Show me what you can do! Be well.
Work smarter. Prof. A. Out. |

Enrollments are being accepted for CIS 700 (0158) and CIS 701
(7965), both Online, starting July.17. If you assist any
one to learn to how to do the course, showing them the
"Six Steps to Success" found at
http://auciello.tripod.com -- showing them how to do
Attendance / Participation and the Online Quizzes -- they can
receive 100 startup points. Show them how to
submit 100startupXXXXXX points where XXXXXX is your last name.
-
There are new quizzes with a new format! This "new
kid on the block" hopefully, with its controllable scrolling
text, its "radio buttons", hint feature, and
"tight integration" of terms and definition are features that
will optimize your learning rate! It is meant to replace
the "legacy" Start Disk quizzes, which are still good for a
while. The new lesson quizzes, called "Technical
Vocabulary" are listed near the top of
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex700.html (CIS 700
ONLINE QUIZZES) and
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex701.html (CIS 701
ONLINE QUIZZES). Its direct link is
https://auciello.tripod.com/vocab01.html -- use its comment
feature to tell me your reaction / comments. Be well.
Work hard and smart. Prof. A. Out.

EMAIL #06. ACHIEVEMENT LIST TODATE"
DEAR STUDENT,
Topics:
------
Also
there is a "way cool" quiz on Colors on the same page that you may take!
According to a short attorney friend of mine who is an Engineer, and write
Patents: She said: "Dad, don't let them slide, make them work. They will
appreciate it later that you prepared them!" Ask me if I listen to my
daughter? So, crank it up, and show me and yourself what level of work you
can do! Head for the 99th percentile of your career field!
I am
working so hard on lessons of Web Terminology ... which hopefully will come
together soon .... By the way some of you are making helpful comments on the
lessons. Keep it up. Do you know what "Zenning" with the material means?
Do you know that I care? That I am worried and stressed when I see mediocre
performance? It is a very, very competitive world, and you fail, then I
also fail, and I hate failure ... Like my daughter, when I am challenged with
a project, and not successful, I just keep re-doubling my efforts until I hit
success! Sometimes I write 30 versions of a program before I feel that I
"got it right"!
Show
me what you know. I am looking for excellence, achievement, professionalism
here ... If you need encouragement, see me in K302, this Wed, 8-12noon for
conversation and a cold drink! Ask me about have having "wireless access" on
campus?
What
do I always say when signing out? Go ahead and say it for me. Prof. A.
Postscript: Did you know that you can withdraw, and keep your points, and
roll them forward to the next class, and even keep submitting?

This email
is about business and I have to "preach" a bit. The business is that
your points are organized and listed at
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt (click on the link to view
your points), and there is a lot of work posted. Of course, if you
want an "A", you must post 3500 or more with at least 1700 points earned from
the Online Quizzes. email me, right away,
joseph@auciello.net, if you do not
understand.
I have
been blessed with excellent TA's who are making a lot of contact ... Thanks
Charlene and Renee! You may email them --
c149359@yahoo.com,
and renee2004@yahoo.com
with questions or for help.
Yo, I
need to talk here ... I am getting stressed with worry about you, my students,
in this global market, the global economy. Adding to my stress is that the
educational system seems to be going downhill precisely at the time when it
should be accelerating to catch up with the Euro and Pacific Rim, and India, and
Indonesian economies!
I feel
responsible not only just to maintain quality and critical thinking, but to push
you ahead with 'robust technology'!!! I am so concerned that
sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and say "what more can I do for
these grasshoppers, so they can be successful in the future?"
The
answers are, whether I can teach you everything or not -- are for you to develop
the art of "hacking", of 'discovery', or empowerment, so that you
can light the rocket engine inside yourself, and 'take off' in learning.
... so that you can "Zen" with your subjects, and figure out things, and get
knowledge yourself! This is how professionals do it!
Part
of the 'hacking' stuff ... I am making a multi-media birthday card, based
on my slide show, with dancing images, videos of dancing babies, Beatle's songs,
Birthday music, dancing cactus, etc ... and I needed to record a song ....
Finally, I figured out, after some 'hacking' that Windows has a built in Sound
Recorder, which I knew, but what I did not know was that I could record
internally what I linked to!
I am
saying that I found some really good Happy Birthday music by googling for "Happy
Birthday Spanish", found a nice, swing, soft-jazz version ... then I opened the
Sound Recorder, found under Accessories - Entertainment, just pushed the Record
Button, and recorded a .wav (dot wave) file, which I saved and
played on the Card. I plan to show you the Javascript that will play music
when a button is pushed!
This
was such a great experience that I will give you 100record points if you can use
the sound recorder, either with a microphone or the internal input line!!!!
Save the file, so that if I need to verify your points, you can attach and
email it to me! Most important, that you "hack" your way to discover
how to do this!
I want
to say in closing: You need to be running fast just to keep up with
the economy. You have to be in the 90th percentile of what you do to
be successful! email me to discuss this. ... I need to talk more about
this!
So be
well. be smart, work hard and smart! I need you to be smart!
Regards, Prof. A. Out. |

Good Morning. "What's going on, Mr. A.?"
(you ask)
"What
are your worrying about now?"
Time
out for a story ... we used to call my daughter the "Walking Complaint Dept." (WCD).
She was always noticing, seeing, talking, commenting, criticizing .. Finally,
after 20 plus years, I
am getting that her complaining was about the fact that "things were not right;
they were not being done correctly. That Dad and brother Mike were
'screwing up' in some ways." Guess what? She was mostly
right! Dad had to 'take it up a notch' and improve, which I did.
Now, her powers of observation and other talents, have led her to be a Patent
Attorney where she works on the latest, state-of-the-art inventions, and gets
them patented! She checks everything 10 times! and has
said: "Dad, give them interesting stuff, and make them work
hard! I respected the instructors who taught me the most!" Dad
really listens now when 'Blitzkrieg' speaks! I hope
that helps you understand where I am coming from.
The first issue is Quality and Access of Materials. (1)
I will
give you a Quick Start Guidebook (QSG) with START DISK, and CD when you come by
to K302, next Tues, anytime, 9 -12. You can also download it at
https://auciello.tripod.com/masterbook.doc
(2)
DOING THIS COURSE IS EASY. DON'T MESS IT UP!
Please
answer these questions: what is the name of the website, my Virtual
Classroom?
How
many steps? Do you know how to post attendance and report work?.
What
percent of your work must come from doing Online Quizzes?
I
trust you to be honest, and assume that you have character and integrity?
Do I
grade you in part on your honesty?
Can
you name 3 ways to contact me?

Who earned an "A" and a letter of recommendation? Please use
the codes for points the same way that L.T. did. L.T. is
awesome!
===========
(4) Please check that you
are enrolled by checking the Student Information System as
www.lattc.edu -- If not, do it
now for CIS 700 (0158) and CIS 701 (7965) starting July, 17!
============
(5) CLICK
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt RIGHT NOW. THE
DROP DATE FOR LOW SCORES IS COMING UP VERY QUICKLY. IF I DON'T THINK
YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT, TO BE FAIR TO YOU, I WILL DROP YOU, SO YOU
GET A WITHDRAW WITHOUT PENALTY. THEN, IF YOU LIKE, PLEASE
RE-ENROLL IN THE JULY.17TH CLASSES, AND KEEP WORKING TO GET A 'HEADSTART' ON
THAT COURSE!
==========
(7) WHEN YOU HAVE READ THESE 3
EMAILS, PLEASE CONFIRM IT BY SUBMITTING THE CONTACT FORM AT

EMAIL #02. •
IF YOU DID NOT GET EMAIL #01, IMMEDIATELY EMAIL ME ANOTHER EMAIL ADDRESS.
POSSIBLY, CLEAR YOUR INBOX, AND PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY.
I want to talk to you a
little here ... I am concerned about your education, what the future holds ...
but I have 'gotten' the insight "Build it and they will come!" ... I
think that there will be another economic boom, and if you "play your cards
right" by being prepared -- specifically, get a domain name, I use
tripod -- yahoo also has them. Learn to upload (post) to your domain name.
Domain names can be
free (yahoo, tripod, etc) or as inexpensive at $5.00,
the hosting can be as
much as $80 per year, or free (yahoo, tripod) if you use a name like
daltonre.tripod.com, as opposed to daltonre.net (paid) which
can supply you with an mail address like
renee@daltonre.net (which is very
professional, and you can keep your work there and build a basic home
page, look around my site for 'model' home pages.
Internet Explorer has a
way of using the FTP command -- just type
ftp.xxxxx.com into the address line
where xxxxx is your domain name, and amazingly it will be accessible from your
desktop, and you can just copy and paste work to it. I am going to ask
Robert Oliver to help me make a demo of this!
• Next item, this
is about what is happening to me ... so if I can explain it to you, if I
can be the 'model' and you can learn from it .... I have been
diligently, obsessively following the principle "Quality Creates
Marketshare" and I am about to begin to try to market a scrolling slideshow of
automobiles,
http://govirtual.us/toy.html
You may note that the
boxes, rectangles are not attractive, so the latest version (not shown) is more
'visually friendly' ... a point is that Visual is the ACE. Content and
format are both KINGS. The more perfect the content, down to the
individual words, and the more perfect the delivery system, the "format",
the greater its chances for success!
To get involved in this
activity, ... if you can get, say, 10 quality images with accompanying
text, crisp text, then I will work with you to make a presentation!
email me to contact me. I can give you 1000 points for this project.
Also, you can build a
PowerPoint, and come close to this .. whatever. THINK VISUAL. THINK
COMMUNICATION. THINK QUALITY!
LET LOOSE YOUR TALENT.
BE WELL. PROF. A. OUT.
PS. DON'T FALL BEHIND
ON POINT, READ BELOW. |

EMAIL #01 •
New CIS 700 / 701 Students. This first week complete
1. Enrollment (Step #1) for 100enroll points,
2. Intro Quiz (#2) for xxx earned points, xxxiq01,
3. at least 10 Start Quizzes at 25 each [get Start Disk
from me, anytime any Tues. Morn, in K302/K309] or work, by hand, the Start
Quizzes in the Quick Start Help Guide, downloadable at
https://auciello.tripod.com/masterbook.doc .
4. Also complete any two ONLINE QUIZZES in Step #5 for a
weekly total of at least 600 points, on track to make 3000 ("B") or 4000 ("A")
points. [if you create a Portfolio, showing 3500 points, you will also
earn a "A".]
• I will be in every Tues Morning -- 8 to Noon in K302/K309. Stop by
for coffee, conversation, inspiration, and help. Leave messages at (213)
763.7268. Also listen for messages on same number. Of course,
you can (should) email me (frequently) at
Joseph@Auciello.net and at
cyberprof@hotmail.com (use both to help ensure delivery).
• Here are the students who are
currently enrolled, if your name is not on this list, and it should be,
please enroll, asap, in CIS 700 (0158) or CIS 701 (7965) starting July.17,
but you should start doing the work now, to spread it out, and get a "headstart".
• I am teaching CIS 700 (sect# 0158) and CIS 701 (# 7965) starting July 17,
and enrollment is open for those classes. If you help someone get started
in any of my courses, you get 100assist points, helping them understand how the
course works, and the Six Steps to Success (which at 6am on a Monday morning
sounds so "lame", but believe me, I wanted to make it as easy (seamless) as
possible. Understand?
• I need email addresses from the following students. If you help them
get an email address, give yourself 100email-help points, also 25help-send
points when they email their name, phone numbers, email addresses to me at
Prof@AUCIELLO.NET or they fill out
the "Enroll Form" (Step #1).
• FYI: I am planning to put more Computer Applications in Math
on my website. You may start working the huge project that will "break the
math barrier" for you by interactively entering and verifying formulas in the
https://auciello.tripod.com/701-math-trig-stat-ops.html project that
will be sooo good for you. Math is critically important as a thinking
tool, and Math by Computer will enhance your ability to learn Math,
and do "critical thinking / problem-solving"!
• I am extremely interested in assignments that make you 'think and
problem-solve' -- because when you develop that skill you become 'empowered'
with the tools to pass courses, and be successful academically! I
really mean this! So, look for "Critical Thinking" projects (or do some on
your own for extra credit)!
As always, Prof. "A", Auciello. Be well. Work smart and
hard! Show me what you know! Out. |

Dear
Student:
I am
transmitting this document (3) ways:
(1) in
HTML format below which looks this (pasting image)
(2) in Plain
Text format (if this section does not look like the image,
scroll below for the text format.
-----------
The
last time to post work is Thurs.June.8. 50% of your points
must come from ONLINE QUIZZES. If not, you will be
"downgraded." I expect that you study for quality and
knowledge.
Understand that this is as of May.17, so of course it does not
reflect your submissions since then!
Note:
-
50% of all points must come from
Online Quizzes! So if you are working for an "A" which is
4000 without showing portfolio, then ____ (how many points --
email me,
joseph@auciello.net
the answer) must you earn from Online Quizzes, which is Step #
__ (look it up).
-
-
There is a new visual format for
https://auciello.tripod.com/
-- I heard that it is "too busy" so please could you view
http://govirtual.us/bphs1956.html
which is less busy, and email me for 25visual points, which
format you like and why.

Dear Student:
It's Sunday Night, and
"Exclude Day" with hope for repatriation / reinstatement / redemption!
I am going to break
the pattern and not talk about the Avian Flu (cheers heard round the
internet!) ... but instead, for a change, talk about improving your
Information and Internet Technology Skills:
Topic A: Active X.
Go to google. Search for "Active X". The quotes makes the search a bit
faster by searching for everything in quotes. Understand that it permits
advanced web features like Multi-media effects, etc. Look it up.
Read about it, and submit 50activex points!
Topic B: Consumer
Reports. When I opened Consumer Reports, which my wife had just bought
for me, the article "Computer Problems and How to Fix Them Yourself"
jumped out at me! These are 'baby' problems, but if you start your
hacking-problem-solving going, you can work up to solving larger ones!
Click
www.ConsumerReports.org
click "Computers and Electronics" then "Easy Fixes for Computer Problems."
Read it and submit 75consumerreports points!
---------------------
Checking grades.
I download the A/P file -- deform7830.html.txt -- process it, sort it, and
post it back on the website! Check it now!
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt Note
alphabetized names with scores ascending, with dates and explanations.
If I don't believe someone's score, I just drop them, and have them prove
points to me before I reinstate them!
Then I access the
class roster on the college website. If a student has a low grade, I
drop them today, last drop to give a "W", rather than give them a D or F
later on! With a "W", they can re-enroll, which I encourage, and
roll their meager point total forward, and keep working while enrolling in
CIS 700, section 7960 --
https://auciello.tripod.com/700-out-summer06.doc and
CIS 701, section
7966,
https://auciello.tripod.com/701-out-summer06.doc both Online courses!
Look
at both of these. These are good, high-quality handouts. What else?
When you assist any of your friends to enroll, both of you get 25assist
points, for showing them how to submit points!
Closing question: Name one other web browser, besides Explorer and
Netscape? 25browser points.
Closing thought: There is a higher grading source: it is your
future that grades you! The future will grade your current performance
or lack of it!
I was
talking with a student at the Student Senate conference, and I realized that
the skills that I put into his / her head, are what will make a difference
on the next campus or job! You have a big responsibility to
yourself, and I have a huge responsibility, and I don't intend to
screw it up, so I will push and push you, as much as I can, to urge you to
high-performance and success! If you know what I mean, award
self 25success points.
Be
well. Your Prof. A. Out.

Dear Student:
Just
talking here: You know that Jim McCracken and I got some large contracts to
teach TQM and related to industry (well, you know it, now), and since I was
writing about it, I (we) had to practice it. (It was so funny; we were not
doing what we told others to do! And when it was pointed out, and made
clear by our friends and family, we had to "re-engineer" ourselves!)
Now, I have added "robust technology" to Quality, and I am getting top
students who are "devouring" my course and "out-performing" me! I love it!
This is
exactly the way to work! High-Quality, High-Performance! With a lot of
'feedback' / corrective action / status reports to you, the 'customer'!
So,
check your scores below -- they are as of April.07 -- and do the following
checklist:
1.
Check your enrollment by going to
www.lattc.edu -- STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM -- Bs sure that you are
enrolled. If not, email me immediately!
1a.
7966 students are in the 2nd week of 6 weeks, and should be on track with
about 1200 points (600 per week -- 6 week course -- to get 3500+ -- "A"
range.)
2. Not
7966: If low, below 1000, think about dropping now, and re-enrolling for my
summer courses (I will teach 700 and 701 this summer!) I will have to drop
students with low scores in about 2 weeks anyway! And keep on doing the
work, and you can 'roll your points' forward into the next class!
3. If
over 1000, and want to stay enrolled, make sure that at least 50% of your
points come from the Online Quizzes!
which are #5 on the
famous "Six Steps" above.
4.
Everybody has to do steps #1 - 5, and the correct set of ONLINE QUIZZES in
#5!
5. See
the A/P report --
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt and be sure that
your points are
explained (100email) and they accumulate. (I worked sooo hard on this
grading system -- I am a programmer) -- it's good quality, and allows me to
see what you are doing, allows you to submit points for credit that you
think are credit-worthy, and allows me to check your submissions, and in a
sense, "grade you on how you graded yourself" -- thus we work in a "honor
system" which builds your professionalism, and my software monitors all
this! Part of the High-Quality, High-Performance classroom!
Closing
... If "social separation" goes into effect, in the event of a Flu breakout
-- the news says some birds are returning from Asia to Alaska this summer,
and in late summer (August), other birds from Alaska will take the Pacific
Flyway (like a Route 5 for birds) here in Calif on their way to the border
and beyond -- then it is absolutely imperative that you adjust yourself so
that you can do a lot of school work, work, etc via the internet. Do you
'get' what I am talking about?
On the
other hand, the flu, when it comes may only affect chicken farmers, and may
be able to be 'localized' -- maybe, but I think it is best to prepare for
the worst, and expect the best!
I plan
to show students soon how to make letterheads like this, usually in both 701
AND 757 M-W, and I plan to make a template to give everyone!
Be
well. Work smart.
Prof. A. Out. |

ALL CLASSES: WE JUST WENT THRU AN
INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE WHERE THE 701 CLASS AND I STARTED MAKING 3-FOLD
BROCHURES. I MADE THE STATEMENT THAT IF YOU PRESENT YOURSELF
DIGITALLY AND VISUALLY, USING "HIGH-IMPACT", RICH-MEDIA
PRESENTATIONS, THEN YOU ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO BE
SUCCESSFUL, USING BUSINESS CARDS, WITH A LOGO, BACKGROUND,
EMAIL AND WEB ADDRESSES, BROCHURES, LETTERHEADS, AND WEB PAGE!
WOW! DO YOU 'GET' WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT??
FOR STARTERS, DOWNLOAD
https://auciello.tripod.com/3F-757.DOC SAVE, MODIFY
IT WITH AT LEAST YOUR NAME ON IT, INSTEAD OF MY NAME, FIGURE OUT HOW TO PRINT ON
BOTH SIDES, AND PUT IN YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR 200BROCHURE POINTS! SHOW YOUR
LIGHT! BE SOMEBODY, VISUALLY AND DIGITALLY!

Dear
Student, since it could be my fault, me, the guy who writes about "Total
Quality", I could be in error in not establishing contact earlier with
you. I have used regular mail, email, and phone calls, but now, for the
last time, I will try again. Without points, there is no game. This
game is to put points on the scoreboard by using Step #4 below! Points
are based on work done. No work. No grade. And worse, I may have to
drop you.
Note,
disregard this list, if you can go to the A/P form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt -- and show at least
600 points!
Famous "Six Steps to Success" at
http://auciello.tripod.com
CIS 700: Best that you do Online
Quizzes, #5, and the Start Disk, also click
https://auciello.tripod.com/700projects.html
CIS 701: Same, but preferably take
extra projects from
https://auciello.tripod.com/GRADE.DOC
CIS 757: Check two new home page
formats: Cindy (
https://auciello.tripod.com/cindy.html ) and Shawnte (
https://auciello.tripod.com/shawnte.html ) and email me a list of the
characteristics from each one that you want on your website for 200build
points. Do the online quizzes. Start your website.
Don't
hesitate to email me --
Joseph@Auciello.net -- or to see me. In fact, personal contact in
this Cyberworld only improves the relationship!
For
50Viking points, what is the fastest reported speed of a Viking Warship?
For
50tuskegee points, how many bombers escorted by Tuskegee Airmen were shot
down by the enemy?
Be
well and work smart. Prof. A. Out.

Dear Student:
FYI: I am spending time discussing global economy and
competition, and, dear students, the world is changing so
rapidly right under our noses, and you will have to compete
on a global playing field, and other schools in other
countries are practicing with 'hardball' ... they are playing
hard. So I need, more than ever, to crank it up, myself,
for you. Understand that it is because I am concerned about
you that I push you!

Dear Students:
I
just finished the Fall grades. I spent extra time
verifying them. It is a problem specific to online classes
-- the student and the instructor don't meet -- so a student
might not 'get' the robust-technology,
learning-community, Total-Quality-Management,
full-speed-ahead-to-technology 'smack' that I preach.
In
semesters past, they did, when I had fewer online students
and more face-to-face contact. This time, there were many
names that I could not connect with, and, apparently, some
of them did not connect with me, either! So I had an
instance of a student reporting a lot of work that he/she
did not do. As dumb as it sounds, this caused me to
triple-check every entry for every student on the system
(written up as #13 on the
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html quiz.)
I did this because I wanted to verify the
information before I lowered his grade. Your points, the
entire point system, is a “contract” between you and me:
You do the work; the compensation is the grades. So it is
an important relationship, and I work hard to keep up my end
of the contract. So before I lowered his grades several
notches, I went over everything, as I said, 3 times, just
to be sure that he/she failed their part of the contract!. The point here is – I assume honesty,
integrity, but I do check. It makes me sad on several
levels, when I come across a person cheating! There is a
world out with people of honor, whose word is an oath, and
I want to encourage an old-fashioned environment, so that
you could be fortunate enough to live and work in it.
Thus, I accept your word, as you do mine (but I have
incredible capacity to check everything that you do). I
hope that this makes it clear.
The
cheating, (the fraud really) really bothered me: it is so
'contra' to what I teach and try to stand for. It is so
destructive. For sure, it does not come from a holy, or
sacred place. Or a high level place, that strengthens an
individual and society!
Flat
out, it is easy to spot fraud in technology. It shows up
real quick. And no one has the patience for it, to try to
help out the 'perps'. So, they are quickly dismissed,
blacklisted, and forgotten. Cheating at this level means
that you are pretty much destined for failure, unless you
can make a 180 degree turn-around. Reading my 'Total
Quality Management' stuff should help.
I
am also concerned about how 'cheating' became part of a
students' personal qualities: i mean he/she had to learn it
from someone, somewhere, and then it gets worse as i realize
that he/she was brought up in an environment that was set
for them to fail! The very forces that were supposed to
help them grow up and succeed were guiding the students to
failure -- like lemmings following the leader off the
cliff. Momma mia!
Do
you get that 'cheating is its own reward!' that the
'consequences of an act' are built into that act?
There
was only one case of major cheating, and several smaller
others. The small ones that occurred infrequently could, by
a stretch, be a mistake in submitting points. (be careful to
be able to back up what you submit) So if it was
incidental, I accepted it as accidental. Submit points
only after you have completed the work, and have evidence
for it!
I
have a quality grading system. It is part of what I teach
-- Total Quality Management! -- so my system tells me who
did what, when, and to what degree, for
how long, and it
also has some other detectors built in. Really, mostly,
this has not been a problem. Just recently.
Bringing deception to technology is like shooting yourself
in the leg before a race. Examine yourself, as I said,
read, and adopt the 'TQM' principles --
https://auciello.tripod.com/14tqm.html -- that I wrote
about. Do 'self-examination'. If the tqm stuff does not
work, follow the principles of 'Zero Quality Management'
--
https://auciello.tripod.com/zqm.html
-- both found on 'page 2' of my website. (Just kidding
about following the ZQM principles.)
You
can earn 100 points each for printing out, and stating "I
agree" or "I disagree' to each principle, and signing it,
and putting it in your project notebook (that I want to see
at the end of the course).
I
feel better having gotten that off my shoulders. It is all
about High Performance, Empowerment, Total Quality, High
Technology -- any thing less, and you are just wasting your
time and my time!
---------
Not
here? Want to be? Enroll in CIS 700 (also sect# 7960) for
the spring semester.
We
are working, Ethan Burrall, Theron Dennis for a Cyber Cafe,
that will help launch you into a high-tech broadband world
of video, podcasts, etc ... Awesome stuff. Look at my
https://auciello.tripod.com/hdde.html quiz.
===========================================================
BELOW
IS INFO SPECIFIC FOR CIS 700 (7960) ONLINE STUDENTS:
0. THE ATT/PART FORM HAS BEEN UPDATED. FORMER
STUDENTS, NOT ENROLLED, WERE REMOVED. CHECK IT.
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt
1.
What is critical is that you get Information Technology
skills. Almost nothing else matters (in this course)!
Become 'technology empowered'! Zen (internalize) this
course. Get into it! Get as many points as you can!
Record (and get rewarded for) those points!
Therefore,
start hitting the "Six Steps to Success" at
http://auciello.tripod.com
Do
all 6.
I
have been doing a lot of programming that you will see --
recent lessons I wrote are:
http://govirtual.us/avi.html
(worth 200 points)
A
really important one for you, part of the javascript series
is --
https://auciello.tripod.com/jsqu02.html
-- in fact, I want
you to take this, fight your way thru it, it is so
important to take your math and programming skills up a
notch!
Email
me all the time. Ask questions. Nag me (in a nice way)
before I nag you.
You
will also be hearing from Ethan Burrell, who is helping
Theron Dennis start an Internet Cafe. He is also my TA.
You
must put / keep putting lots of points on the scoreboard
which is the attendance / participation form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html
Also,
read #13, near end, of
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html
-- it talks about how your work is verified by this system,
by my programming.
I
really want you to light your own fire about learning!
There are huge opportunities today, good colleges are
looking for good students! Also, there is huge competition
internationally for jobs, so you have to be better than good
-- very good to excellent -- to make it!
================================================
I really care. Make me proud of you.
Be well. Keep in touch. Prof. A. Out. |

The best way
to start, as you know, is to do the "Six Steps to Success"
found at the top of
http://auciello.tripod.com -- If you are going to enroll,
I suggest that you start doing the work now, so it won't be so
hectic in the future! Your having experience in taking Online
classes is a plus in this matter.
3. FYI:
I posted a website on Avian Flu Prevention at
http://govirtual.us/avi.html (a Powerpoint file that you
can from the web) that gives information on how to prevent the
flu and some of the links give information on treatments!
Has PODCASTING, STREAMING VIDEO, SCROLLING HORIZ AND VERT

Dear Student:
It is early Sunday Morning, but I
can't complain because there is "no crying in computers" ... I am
just making sure that you click
https://auciello.tripod.com/contact.html and get the
information, and submit the form! Also:
1. You know that a Drop Date
without Penalty (drop without a W) is coming up, and that I need to
see at least 500 points by this Thurs for me to feel comfortable
that you are working. Understand?
2. For me, learning has mostly
always been fun. I mean the goal is to become Professional, to know
your craft very well, at the 99.99 percent level, but learning new
things has always been exciting for me, so I hope that you also are
getting 'turned on' by the Internet, this course, the exciting world
of visual communication, and Handheld Digital Devices for Education,
iPODs, etc .. Go ahead and take the mandatory quiz --
https://auciello.tripod.com/hdde.html
This is an important week for me:
Lots of important things -- Birthdays, appointments, etc ... I would
like some of that excitement to rub off on you! Be well. Prof.

Wed Aug 10 |
As some of you know, I take terrific pride in my course -- its
technology, its reliability, its security, its accuracy, its
Quality. For some reason, I am driven onward and upward to
continually improve and innovate (sounds like one of my speeches) .. I
feel it inside of me. It bothers me when I don't hit quality.
It actually gets to me! But the good news, for me, the
instructor, the course manager, is the joy I see when some students
actually out-perform me! Gadzooks! One of the
last kids who did this is a Patent Attorney working for a premier law
firm, working on patents for E-Bay, Intel, H-P, etc ... There is
some material about Cyndi, my daughter, on the website that she helped
me with ...
So, while I dislike playing 'Point Police', I am forced into it.
Some students want to just 'skate', to gloss, and they challenge the
instructor to make them deliver. Thus I become a 'Point
Policeman'. But, the joy of working with points, and not
personality, allows me to turn on wizards like Bang who today
turned in a book that I swear I could sell in the bookstore for $75!
I 'flipped' over its quality, and she really loves the stuff.
Can you say 'endogenic'? She 'got the power within'.
The course lit her fire, and what ever she does in the future will
probably also be at this World Class level! So, if I have to
make students 'toe the mark', at least, I am rewarded by those who
take the point system and 'run for touchdowns'!
Tonight, I had to make some tough decisions. Based on fact, on accurate,
reliable, information -- no 1400 pts, no enrollment -- and I dropped
some students that it hurt me to do! I WILL RE-INSTATE THEM
IN A MINUTE, IF I AM WRONG, AND THEY SHOW ME ABOUT 2200 POINTS, WHICH IS
WHERE EVERYONE SHOULD BE RIGHT NOW!
ALSO, IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST, I SUGGEST THAT YOU KEEP
WORKING, BUILDING POINTS, AND RE-ENROLL IN ONE OF MY CIS 701 CLASSES IN
THE FALL ... ONE IS CLASSROOM -- 7-9 MW K302 -- AND THE OTHER ONE IS
SECT 7966, ONLINE AND I WILL WORK WITH YOU!
THE FOLLOWING LIST IS A LIST OF THOSE CURRENTLY ENROLLED, BASED ON MY
SEEING AT LEAST 1400 PTS TONIGHT, 6PM, ON
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt FORM -- AS I
SAID, IF I MADE A MISTAKE, CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY OR SOONER!
ALSO, JUST BECAUSE YOU MADE THE CUT, DON'T RELAX TOO MUCH, I WILL
PROBABLY MAKE NEXT WED, AUG 17, THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT POINTS, AND I
WILL GIVE GRADES ON WHAT I SEE AND CAN VERIFY ...
I
REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET, THAT BECAUSE I HOLD YOU TO A HIGHER QUALITY
STANDARD, THAT I AM HELPING YOU! I HOPE YOU 'GET' THAT IT IS
BECAUSE I CARE AND WANT YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I KNOW HOW TO BE
SUCCESSFUL: IT IS SWEAT, TEARS, CONCENTRATION, COMMITMENT, GUTS,
AND BRAINS -- AND IT PAYS BIG REWARDS, TOO! BE WELL.
PROF. A. OUT. |

Wed
Aug 3 |
MAKING THE 2ND CUT.
ON OR ABOUT AUG 8, I WILL
EXCLUDE THOSE WITH SCORES < 1400 BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN THAT,
PROBABLY YOU WILL GET A 'D' OR 'F', AND I HATE GIVING
THOSE, SO I WILL GIVE YOU A 'W' INSTEAD. IF I AM
WRONG, AND THAT HAPPENS ABOUT 100 TIME A DAY, I WILL RE-ADMIT YOU
IF YOU SHOW ME PROOF OF LOTS OF POINTS.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT ... THIS 5
WEEK COURSE IS FAST, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER, YOU CAN FALL
BEHIND FAST ... SO I SUGGEST THAT YOU KEEP WORKING AWAY, AND
SUBMITTING POINTS, AND IF I DROP YOU, GO AHEAD AND ENROLL IN
SECT 7966, STARTING SEPT. 5, AND I YOU CAN KEEP YOUR POINTS ... JUST
KEEP BUILDING THEM UP ...
IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN MAKE
THIS CUT, YOU CAN, OF COURSE, DROP YOURSELF, ... SAME
CONDITIONS AS ABOVE APPLY.
FOR 50 POINTS,
WHICH SHIP WAS FASTER -- VIKING WARSHIP OR ROMAN GALLEY?
50 POINTS: NAME OF THE CHINESE
SEARCH ENGINE STOCK THAT WILL GO PUBLIC SOON ON THE NASDAQ EXCHANGE?
WHAT IS ITS CODE? |

Sat
July 23 |
MAKING THE 1ST CUT!
If you are not enrolled, hold off, because I am making the 1st cut on
Monday. Enroll for the Fall, but work ahead to build points!
To stay in the class, you
must:
1: show at least 600
points on the A/P form -- click below to view it --
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt (I might accept
less, depending on other circumstances).
2: complete Step #1,
https://auciello.tripod.com/enroll.html, (enroll form), and
Step #2,
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html, (Introductory Quiz 01).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Danger of
"Falling thru the Cracks in the Ice" -- Since I
will start dropping students who have low points this Monday,
it is only fair that I tell you, again, and again! Performance =
enrollment; No submissions, no entries on the
Attendance-Participation Form = Exclusion! email me
and I will explain why I am cracking done hard ...
HOW DO I KEEP FROM GETTING
DROPPED? 1. FIND THE SIX STEPS, DO #1 ENROLL,
DO #2 INTRO, MASTER #3 (ENTERING POINTS), AND START #5 CIS 701 ONLINE
QUIZ INDEX!
READ ALL THE NEWS ... READ
ALL THE A-GRAMS. FIND AND TAKE THE QUIZZES UNDER CIS
701 ON THE 2ND PAGE,
https://auciello.tripod.com/nextpg2.html , which I will redesign on
July 23 to make it load faster.
Also you can try to download
the workbook,
https://auciello.tripod.com/701book.doc and find
assignments in it to complete and print out, and submit points for!
Keep printouts in a Portfolio for me to verify. Your system may
not be able to download the 1MB workbook, which is also sold in
the TT bookstore!
Of course, there are over 80
quizzes on the 701 Start Disk that you can do, at 25 points each, when
you pass them, which you can tell if the programs does not nag you to
retake the quiz. I will verify these points when you bring
me your start disk for me to grade. Also, do the worksheets,
the printouts, for the lessons, and store them in your Portfolio
Notebook to help verify your work.
The most important is last
-- Your developing the skills to solve problems on how to use the
computer and internet as a tool, to use the web for research to develop
your critical thinking skills, and to develop a process where you
can use "Help" and thinking skills to get answers from the system ...
this is the "Sina Qua Non" -- that for which there is no equal -- this
is the litmus test for 'technological empowerment', which is what
I reserve the 'A' grade for those who reach it by dint of their
developing 'hacking', problem-solving skills, by their using the
computer and internet as tools themselves to extend their information
technology skill set! (email me with an example if you know
what I am talking about for 100empowerment points!) ...
Strengthen yourself by working harder and smarter, and
understanding that Quality Work creates Opportunity and Marketshare!
(Deming). Prof. A. Out.

I just sorted the Attendance /
Participation results: Now it shows how the points go up,
based on your submitting your work! Note how Melina
Tran is building up points. Look at the projects
done by others to get ideas! Click
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html.txt to view
your scores, noting that those with less than 600 by next Monday
may get dropped!
Sorry, I made a goof.
Mr. TQM made an error! The INTRO QUIZ (
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html ) was not posting results
to the web. I fixed it. Would you mind, please,
retaking it? You may take it several times; only the
highest score counts! |

There are Six Steps to Success (this is the 3rd step), that are
listed on
http://auciello.tripod.com (click this link to see them).
You must have Steps 1 and 2 completed before Wed. 4pm, keep reading the
NEWS (this step) every day, learn how to use the Atten. / Partic. Form
(step 4), and be clicking on Online Quiz Index (#5)!
This course is
about finding assignments, doing them, printing them out, pressing the
Submit Button for Online Quizzes, then submitting points through the
Atten. / Partic. Form! Only what is on the A/P form that I
can verify, and posted (when you hit the Submit Button) can I see.
(Later on, you can show me your portfolio, especially if you are going
for an "A").
I did the Six Steps so that it is easy for you. If you can't
see and do the Six Steps, then there is almost no way that you can pass
this course! There is no other way.
How to earn points? (1) Do the Online Quizzes (#5); (2)
Run quizzes from the 701 Start Disk; (3) click
https://auciello.tripod.com/GRADE.DOC and select projects
from that list; (4) Under the headings CIS 701 on both page 1 and
page of my website, find assignments (projects are everywhere, just
start looking!)
Since by Friday, I will start dropping students who don't show at
least 600 points, you can get those points efficiently by doing the
Online Quizzes, or running 24 quizzes on the Start Disk. Do
what is easiest for you; but always look for the hard stuff, and drop
back if you have to!
I will be in next Mon and Tues, July 25, 26, in K302 from 9:15
to Noon so you can pick up a Start Disk and talk with me!
You can also call Tracy the Dept Secretary at 213.763.7252 to arrange to
pick up a Start Disk.
100 point question: Listen to the song played at (213)
763-7268, email me its name, for 100song points. Also
which of the 3 dancers at
http://auciello.tripod.com is in rhythm for 50dancer points, and
what is the speed at which the lyrics match the music, for 50match
points? Also, who is Ted Nelson? Dr. W. Edwards Deming
for 50nelson and 50deming points?
I want to talk with you ... technology has changed the landscape of
how I teach, how you learn, how we communicate. I may never meet
some of you, and you might really "get into my head", really 'zen' this
course, become immersed in the TQM, Virtual Learning Community,
Robust Learning, Visual-Interactive-Virtual Applications stuff
that I do! Further, later on the Internet Radio Station /
Cyber Cafe! That is the price of progress. I
miss the personal contact, really miss it. But, now, I am starting
to have very large classes, and I am really taking my course up several
notches in efficiency and effectiveness! I really am
becoming a Cyber Professor (one of my email addresses is
cyberprof@hotmail.com -- and
I am working more at home, and spending less time commuting.
Computing time is up; commuting time is down. And this is
the Future. If I can do it, if I can get you to work this
way, we are more efficient, though, pensively, we need to acknowledge
that we are giving up some valuable human and social contact! I am
training you for the future! Ya Wohl! Si! Claro!
Pronto!
Also, since I have taken most of the bugs out of the course, I will
be stricter on you. You must earn a substantial number of points
each week or face being dropped. I am working at home, using
FrontPage, on a blazingly fast computer, connected by lightning cable,
taking orders from my wife, and having my son on the phone, ... so it is
a great world (A Brave New Technological World) and welcome to it.
The rule is constant diligence and pushing the edge for learning.
Continuous Learning is a key concept.
The workbook is a 1MB file located at
https://auciello.tripod.com/701book.doc and the book of Start
Disk quizzes is at
https://auciello.tripod.com/701startbook.doc
Or if you like, purchase them at the Bookstore.
Also, as soon as you finish reading this, click
https://auciello.tripod.com/contact.html
and submit it, for 100contact points, and you will be graded on the
how many hours elapse from the time I send out his message until you
respond!

This is a list of all the lessons that the students in section

Dear Students:
Foreword: This email is in html. If you want to learn this, sign
up for my CIS 757 WEB DESIGN and INTERNET PROGRAMMING CLASS, next
semester. You too should have a visually-impacting email form!
The way to do
this course is to work a lot most of the time! Keeping in touch,
pressing that "Submit Button", blazing all over my Virtual Classroom!
This is so important that I am expecting you to "keep on top" of this
course, and for these reasons, I need, and you need, to step up the
volume of work done!
Specifically:
1.
https://auciello.tripod.com/bestparm.htm contains an approach
driven by the 'creative' side of my personality, what little there is
left of it! Kick it up on this assignment: 100 points
for answering the first 3 questions! 100gv. Do it now.
Click it and come back ... Back from bestparm.htm: This is the
future: Note the multi-media, the art, the style, panache (whatever that
means). Learn to add these skills to your skill set! Move to
a Visual World. Email me if you liked it!
2, Flat

about 1200 points by now! Hit those ONLINE QUIZZES!
3.
To keep better communication with you, you must submit the contact
form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/contact.html right after you
read this email! I emailed this at 702 hours (a standard that I
use), and I am timing how long it takes you to read this, and respond
vial the contact form, which you should edit, fill out, and submit.
4.
I redid the web site --
http://auciello.tripod.com -- please let me know if it is
clearer and you can find "Revelation in Redmond" for 25rir points!

I will be in tomorrow, Monday, open 9 to noon, K302, for office hours.

Hi! Let's
go to work, and take care of your points and grade, and let's get the
course over with fast than the San Antonio Spurs on a fast break.
Do, right now, the Six Steps to Success, then literally "live" on the
Online Quizzes 701 Page (#5), and knock them all off! I will be in
K302 for Office Hours every Tues, so come in to see me. But,
mostly, keep doing the work and building points and submitting them thru
the A/P Form (#4). Be well. Yes, I will be changing

Welcome,
early birds, section 7965. My advice is NOT to get started
now. Take a few days off, ride a bike, walk, watch movies,
exercise ... I am saying this because I am a bit 'burned
out' and need several days off. So I am "projecting", but,
if you must -- and this is not 'reverse psychology' here -- go
ahead and follow the "Six Steps to Success" on my Online
Classroom,
http://auciello.tripod.com
For sure,
learn how to check in from the intro quiz -- iq01 --
Then, since this course is all about points, go ahead if you
feel up to it, and click
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex701.html where over 3500
(= "A") points await you!
Also,
for sure, right away, click the enroll form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/enroll.html so I can get good
contact information about you!
My
preferred email address is
joseph@auciello.net
so email me there .. Look for about 2 emails per week. If
not, start emailing me ...
Be
well and continue working smarter. Out. |

Welcome. As you probably know, the Virtual Classroom
operates on a Learning Contract basis: If you earn 3500
verified points, you get an "A", etc.
To start, please complete the enrollment form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/enroll.html
-- (that gives me reliable, backed-up contact information.
If we lose contact, you may not get all the information.)
Next, learn how the Virtual Classroom works by taking the
Introductory Quiz --
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html
When you finish this, submit your score to the Attendance /
Participation Form --
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html (as
instructed by the Intro Quiz.)
The list of projects is in (2) locations: (1) an Index of
Online Quizzes is at
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex701.html and
(2) a Table of all CIS 701 Projects, is found at
https://auciello.tripod.com/GRADE.DOC
(there are about 12,000 points that can be earned here, and
you just need 3,500 for an "A")
For course information, click
https://auciello.tripod.com/701out99.doc
(contains a Word file that describes the course. A more
formal course outline will be given to you later.)
You may do the work in any order (there are some mandatory
projects for you to do in order to earn an "A", but you can
start anywhere you like) -- just start earning points. The
VIVA Online Quizzes are awesome! Also, please see me MTW
7:30-11:30 in K302 to get a "Start Disk" that contains 2000
points worth of quizzes. (An abundance of learning material
here!)
Keep emailing me, and, for sure, keep hitting that Submit
Button, for that is how I keep track of what you are doing.
No Submit. No Points. No Grade.
Also, I would like you to read and pick up the message that
I am trying to give about Total Quality Management, and
Robust High-Technology, and Virtual Learning Community; look
on the site for them. This philosophy will serve you well in
your career!
Be well. Prof. Auciello. Out.

CIS -- 0156 MW 7-9. The goal is to submit points based on
work completed. You can do practically any
assignment on this website. Later, I will ask you to do
some specific assignments, but since what each project teachers
overlaps, it will be generally AOK for you to "dig" in where you
are comfortable, find projects that "speak" to you to work on.
If this helps your learn, then it will spread to other projects,
and you will be on your way! But certain projects
have to be done up front, such as:
https://auciello.tripod.com/enroll.html,
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html,
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex701.html, on which
you will see a list of projects, start w. any. The
latest and best quizzes are File Management, Windows, and
Web Quizzes, go ahead and try them .... JA. Out.

Dear Student, this message will is also posted, with other
important items, on

Important items:
Xbelow shows Attendance /
Participation (A/P) being reported by these students. If your
name is not here, figure out fast how to use the A/P form which
is
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html
I spent a lot of time in developing Intro
Quiz 01 --
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html
-- which explains and explains how to report Attendance /
Participation. Please meet me halfway on this -- this is how
grades are developed. You can go back and submit points for
work that you did previouosly. Don't worry about the date.
Just put points on the scoreboard for everything that you do in
this class, and make them accumulate -- If you had 25 and you
earn 200iq01, what is your new total that you should enter?
(20ec) -- extra credit points, if you 'get' the right answers!
When you
successfully submit your points on the A/P form, it will say
"Thanks, your form has been submitted. -- have a nice day"
(Kidding about the 'nice day' stuff.)
This becomes
part of a file that I turn into a grade book -- I verify all
assignments the last week of class -- and I can see how you are
doing. Ask me if you want to know more about this.
I put together a
Critical Item Checklist to keep you on track. This course has
to be about "Quality" -- I wrote a book about that -- look it up
on the web for 50tqm points. So, I am trying to give you a
'bullet-proof', 100% quality, zero errors checklist on how to
succeed in this course. Can you please help me deliver this
message of Quality and Technology? Please. For 25 points --
25global -- why is this important in a Global Economy?

A new lesson-quiz -- Web Quiz 01 --http://auciello.tripod.com.webqu01.html
-- has been created. Now, in addition to the 100 points or
so that you get for passing the quiz, you can earn an additional
200 points for explaining how you did the work! |
|
|
|
JAN.14.05 |
I updated
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq0-1.html -- look at it.
FYI:
The CD is just a backup of this website, so it is only critical
if you can't connect to the web.
The "Start Disk" is very important. I am trying to be
sure that everyone has one. It contains quizzes that are worth
2,000 points, almost enough for a "C".
Here is the email that I sent out today. If you did not
get this, email me asap and email yourself to be sure that your
email is working!
===========================
|

All CIS 700 Students:
Take Introductory Quiz 01 --
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html
It contains new
information, such as how to download the start quizzes, and has been
upgraded to 200 points. Take it again even if you already did
it.
It gets you started. After that, start something on
Index of Online 700 Quizzes --
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex700.html
Do about 2-5 quizzes /
projects before next Tues.Jan.18. Since you need 3000 points for
a "B" by Feb.03, you should earn about at least 500 points this
weekend.
If you have the Start
Disk, (I will drop some off today at your school), you could do 20
quizzes (at 25 points each), and be on track. email me if you
can't get the start disk working! At the very least, you could
download and print
https://auciello.tripod.com/701startbook.doc
and start doing the sentence matching, in preparation for testing the
start-quizzes, right?
Be well. Work
smart. Out.

I am writing for emphasis! Ask
me if I am worried about some of you? Yes! For sure.
Somehow, some of you DID NOT "GET" THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO
TURN IN 4 FORMS TO YOUR COUNSELOR OR THE "R" BLDG AT LATTC!
This is a disaster! The (4)
forms are: (1) LATTC Enrollment, (2) Supplemental Enrollment
that needs your parents' signature, your counselor's
signature, your HS ID, (3) Assessment Waiver, (4) Add Card
signed by me that contains CIS 700, WINTER 05, #7960, 3
UNITS.
And to be enrolled, I have to
receive this (or your counselor) by Noon Tomorrow!
OK. Anyway, here what you have
to do before Monday. Complete at least (1) quiz:
(or buy it at LATTC bookstore.)
WRITE ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
BE WELL. WORK HARD AND SMART. PROF. A. OUT

|
|
|
Jan.12.05 |
What is really important is
-- Did you turn in your enrollment packet to your
counselor or the LATTC ADMISSIONS OFFICE?
You need (4)
documents:
(1) LATTC ENROLLMENT
FORM, (your signature)
(2) SUPPLEMENTAL
APPLICATION
(form YS-1). (Needs
parents', school and your signature.)
(3) ADD CARD -- signed by
me. Counselors have them.
(4) ASSESSMENT WAIVER
FORM.
TURN IN PAPERWORK TO
COUNSELORS ASAP. IF NOT SOONER!
THEN, START ON THE
QUIZZES BELOW.
THE BOOK FOR THE CLASS
CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM

ATTENDANCE FORM?
SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO. ANY PROBLEMS, IMMEDIATELY IF NOT
SOONER, EMAIL ME
.......
Dec.26:
There is a problem with getting the email addresses of the
students who want this class. Could you call up your friends or
email them and have them email me at
Prof@Auciello.net so that I can help to
get them enrolled? Do this right away! Please, I need your
help. There are about 60, and I only have a few addresses!
You may go ahead and start working. Anything you do now will be
recorded and will save you time in January.
------------------------------
Dec.20: Let me tell you about the course. Look at
http://auciello.tripod.com
-- CIS 701 (Business Applications on the Computer) and CIS 757,
a very cool course in FrontPage, Web Design, JavaScript, etc.
are my Primary Courses.
So I
can give you Extra Credit for any work you do on those courses,
just for your learning, but this course (700) is about
(1)
"computer concepts (OK) with emphasis on the physical components
of a computer system (bit basic);
(2) hands-on
introduction to operating systems with emphasis on Windows (XP)
and DOS (legacy but good!).
(3) Plus an
introduction to programming concepts" using JavaScript.
(Awesome!).
For the Overview and Hardware portions, I wrote 80 Quizzes that
are on a Floppy Disk that are worth 25 points each. The quizzes
are in the back of the 700/701 Applications Workbook, sold at
the LATTC bookstore. Or you can download them from
https://auciello.tripod.com/701startbook.doc --
Look them over.
...
You really can't start on them until you receive the '701 Start
Disk' which I will pass out the week of Jan 12 when you are back
in school. If you like, try to match up the questions and
answers. It will all be done from a program on the FD that can
run on any IBM compatible computer. Some Macs will also run it,
if they are set up for it.
For the Windows portion, I will write some On-Line quizzes,
using my Virtual-Interactive-Visual-Applications (VIVA)
technique --
https://auciello.tripod.com/iq01.html is an example. I
know that teaching you how to find the answers, how to think
critically and to solve problems, is the greatest thing that I
can do for you, so this vacation I will write some quizzes about
Windows, Windows Features, Using the Help System, etc, and I
will clue you when they are ready. For DOS, I will give you
reading material with examples for you to try, show you how to
get help for DOS, and give you a short DOS Batch File to study.
DOS topics are also on the 701 Start Disk.
For JavaScript, we will use very simple HTML code, enough to
allow us to use JS, and I will embed it, so that we can run it
and test it, and modify it, using Internet Explorer. If I got
some good T.A.s from your school, I would give them upload
access to one of my sites, where we could post any HTML/JS that
you wrote, and, of course, then you would be on the World Wide
Web! The portal of your cyber career! (Please have any such top
students in programming and Internet contact me asap! Please. I
will figure out some compensation for their help!)
I think that you can start the course now. I will give you
credit for work done now.
Go
ahead and take it and earn points, which you can post on
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html -- the
Attendance/Participation form. (The INTRODUCTORY
QUIZ -- iq01 -- tells you how to use the A/P form.)
Don't be afraid. Email if you want me to go over with you. I or
my TAs will help you. We want you to pass this course. Counselor
McGee, Head Counselor Holmes, and I all deeply believe that in
order for you to succeed, you must be Computer Desktop and Web
Competent.
You may also do all the a-grams on the site for 25 pts extra
credit each. It is all about learning, and you earn points when
you learn, so go ahead and show me what you can do!
Finally, I don't have everyone's email address, so if you know
someone who signed up or wants to sign up, forward this email to
them, and have them email me at
Joseph@Auciello.Net
with their name, email and phone #. Keep in touch all the time.
Write me for 25 points, if you know what CQII means. I will be
in further contact soon.

Fri.Dec.17
Counselor McGee and I are trying to get the word out about the
CIS 700 Online Class, and I would like to ask you if you could
forward this email to other students who might be interested in
enrolling. The class is for 3 college units, and for HS credits
(I am not sure if it is 5 or 10).
We
plan to start with an assignment on Jan. 5, with mandatory
meetings Wed afternoons after school, Jan 12, 19, 26, and Feb 2
for 30-50 minutes, where I will help you to make sure that you
are getting the work done which builds points which are the
basis for A (3500), B (3000), or C (2500) points. (more later)
1) To make this happen, try to enroll Online thru the LATTC
website.
DO ONLINE ENROLLMENT AT

Another link:
http://www.laccd.edu/student_information/sis_logon.asp?campus=t
(link,
or copy-and-paste, or type in the above address)
I will provide you with a '701-start-disk' that contains 80
quizzes that take 5-15 minutes each to do at 25 points each. So,
you acquire 2000 points just from these quizzes. Also, I will
give you a CD that is a backup of my website, in case you have
trouble getting Online.
2) Pick up forms to sign from Counselor McGee. If you can't do
that, just email me, asap, with the following request:
Dear Prof. Auciello, I would like to enroll in your CIS 700
Online Class. My name is xxx xxxxx, my email is xxxx@xxxxx.com
as you can see, my ID is xxx-xxx-xxxx, and my phone number is
(xxx) xxx.xxxx

This course will be about empowering you to acquire the IT
skills for your career, and helping others do the same.

Re: Getting Started in CIS 700
======================================================
Welcome. This course is set up to help you gain additional
Informational Technology Skills. I want to work in a Virtual
Learning Community environment where we all help each other to
become more technology-empowered! Team work is encouraged. With
the rapid shift to a Technology-Based Society, it benefits all
if we attempt to leave no one behind. I will be on campus every
Wednesday after school (details later) to meet with you, answer
questions, grade quizzes, give lectures, etc, on Jan 12, 19, 26,
and Feb 2.
Specifically, you must do the following:
1. Email me so I can get your email address. Include name and
tel. #.
2. Enroll at LATTC. Complete the papers that Counselor McGee
will give you. (we will supply the Section #). Fill out the
Assessment Waiver.
3. Starting Dec 26, and before Jan 12, check your email for
messages from me. If you do not get email from me, immediately,
if not sooner, email me at Joseph@Auciello.Net. You can also
check NEWS at
https://auciello.tripod.com/NEWS.HTML to keep up.
4. Purchase "CIS 700/701 Workbook" by Joseph Auciello at the
LATTC bookstore, under $10. (The title may say CIS 701, but the
Quiz material in the back is for CIS 700 (Computer Concepts). I
will add a section on JavaScript Programming to my web site, so
that you may download it!
5. Start accessing my website --
https://auciello.tripod.com/ -- no password required,
and exploring ... Just explore for now. There will be specific
assignments posted during class.
6. Plan to be at the 1st meeting, orientation.
7. After Christmas, you will receive instructions on how to
report Attendance and Work Completed online. During the term of
the class, you must post attendance electronically. I will send
you information by (1) email, (2) by NEWS on my website. You
must maintain constant electronic contact with me by email or by
posting attendance on the web. Be well. Never hesitate to email
me. Prof. "A". Joseph Auciello. Out.
============
I would appreciate your helping to get the word out on this
course, today, and during vacation. It just came together at the
last minute. The right way to do things is to have sufficient
'lead time'. I am partly to blame here. Thank you in advance for
your efforts. Be well. Prof. A. Out.

CIS 700 #7960 -- Winter 2005 On-Line Class. The section # for our class is
7960. If you can enroll On-Line, give yourself 100-enroll on the new Attendance Participation Form
https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7830.html
This form is vital to this course! It is the way that I can keep track of what you do (or don't do). Every day, starting with the first day of class, you
must use this form to record Attendance (25 pts per day, 4 days per week) and, of course, whatever projects, quizzes that you complete.
You must press the 'Submit Button' a lot in this class! ... I designed this attendance system. I know time, location, and duration of your work in this class! Which
is good, because then you and I both have evidence of your work in this class, and it justifies my awarding you a top grade!
I know that I am redundant, but I put a lot of work in writing the On-Line materials for this course, with the expectation that you will learn from them, and
possibly understand where I am coming from ... Maybe even helping me to help lots of students like yourself cross the
Digital Divide ...
For students at the DMHS, I will be on campus sometime every Wed afternoon after Jan 12. You can reach me anytime by email that I check daily. If we still have trouble communicating, I
will give you my pager no. Flat out, we must be in contact -- because this course is about your continually doing work, continually reading my emails, checking with this page,
and even noting from the Att/Part Form what your classmates are doing! You can take every quiz repeatedly until you hit the Max score. You can even submit
points for any Computer or Web Learning Experiences that you have outside the class!
Because I am a writer (grant writer) and a Programmer (16 computer languages), I created a 'ton' of materials (150MB) on this site.
Go thru them. Hack them. Go everywhere. I will give you extra credit for learning!
Another important thing is that my partner and I, at California Technical Training, used to give seminars on Quality, and the High Performance Workplace, (read the TQM stuff for 100TQM pts) so I am part of that
world, and I have the strictest requirements for quality, for zero errors. It really works! Quality creates Marketshare! So part of my 'propaganda' and 'hype' will
be to drag you into that world. My daughter listened to me, and is today a Corporate Patent Attorney, submitting patents for breakthrough technologies! Cyndi blew past me
like I was standing still! The expectation is that you will also pass me, as I bring you to my level, and give you the inertia to go beyond! Do you understand what I mean?
Of course, in closing, you know that the work for this course is in
https://auciello.tripod.com/olindex700.html> olindex700.html contains all the point-earning exercises for this course!
The expectation is that you will get solid skills, learn to work 'smart', get the 'Quality' message, get the 'Learning
Community Message, empower yourself, and help others to get empowered, and "put lots of points on the scoreboard", like the Lakers do sometimes!
Be well. Your Cyber Professor. Prof. A. Out

usually add a few more students. Understand,
though, that the class is "performance-based" -- No
Points, No Grade. Browse around this site, and
figure out, if you can, how this course works. There is
a ton of info here. |
