Intro Quiz -- 1500

2. CIS 701 Students: The "701 Start Disk" contains 80 lessons that when passed will earn you 25 points each. How many points is that? Bring me the disk to be graded in K302.

4. If you are not getting emails from me, clear out your inbox, and send me your email address, include your name. Go ahead and create a 2nd backup email address and send that also.

CIS 701

For this week, the assignments are simple: CIS 701, all classes, keep working on your business card.

https://auciello.tripod.com/buscard3.doc

I preach what is called "Digital - Virtual - Presence", thus it becomes essential to establish yourself with a card with a cell #, email address, and even a Home Page on it. For 25pts (25dvp), what does having such a card say about you? (I apologize for the dumb question.)

I have the glossy photo paper now, enough for this week. Please try to buy more at Fry's electronics. If you pay more than $4.00 for 20, you are paying too much. Look for sales!

How to make the card is also explained on https://auciello.tripod.com/701mashel.htm

(No. 19) Read if you need it. If you don't, please write a your step-by-step analysis of how to do the project for 25mashel points.

CIS 757 A student asked me if we were doing "Business Card 101" -- that was very witty. No, I would say "Not". I just want you to get images ready for the Big Event -- the famous

https://auciello.tripod.com/SLIDSHOW.HTML

This week, I will introduce the source code behind the slide show, and show you how to insert images and text! I really want you to get "immersed" with this "Visual Communication" project. I suggest that you develop it and market it as a photo album commemerating events, and even earn some consulting money. Prepare to insert your card as an image, and possibly another image, a clean head shot of yourself, crisp image. I want to see some High Performance on this, please!

701 Students: Last week we worked on Business Cards. Click https://auciello.tripod.com/701mashel.htm then #20 for help. The MW and TTH classes "went to town" on this. Jeff, for example, created a beautiful business card, with a blue art background, in vivid color! It was Art and Business! (We need Photo Glossy Paper. Fry's Electronics, sometimes has it on sale for in packages of 10 for $2.00. If you bring in glossy paper that we can use for the Business Cards, the class will re-imburse you.) We will continue this project this week, making sure everyone gets his/her cards done. From this project, you should be learning how to load a template from my Virtual Classroom, how to save it to a floppy disk (important), how to insert a photo which you have edited with Photo Editor, how to "wrap text" around the picture, formatting, fonts, color, World-Class Presentation Quality, and the ultimately practicality of defining yourself in the Digital Age with an email address, and (later) the address of your personal website on the card! Following the practices of Learning Community, let's make sure every student gets this done this week so that we can move on. I am very pleased with what I have seen so far!

Also, continue with the 701 Start Quizzes. You should be doing about 10 per week. Bring the disks to me to have them graded. I have a Grade Program on my computer. They have to be graded and verified by the end of the semester, but you can still record the points, 25micro-00, if you pass the quiz, which you can tell if the program does not ask you to repeat the quiz.

Also, keep searching the web site for anything that is interesting to you, and that might be worth points when you do it. Keep continually learning.

FOR CIS 757 WEB STUDENTS ONLY: Since the class is about Internet Programming (usually meaning JavaScript / Java Applets) and Web Design (building Web Pages), I want to go in both directions. (1) I want you to learn Programming in JavaScript (JS), because that separates amateurs from Professionals, and (2) I want you to expand your talents to working with Color, Sound, Music, Images, Video (multi-media). So this week, we will do

(200-COL-LOOP) click and download it, to learn JS basics and also "757 Tables with Music and Images"

You should get a Study Guide on JavaScript and HTML, the plastic sheets that cost about $3, (Fry's has them) and/or use Google to find a JavaScript Book on the web, and download it. If you get stuck, we will do this in class.

Also, start looking for examples of good Web Pages, and earn up to 500 points credit for printing them out, and attaching your comments about the features that they have. (100-FedEx for their web site).

All students: I need to ensure that all students are receiving email with the link to this document. If you know a student who is not getting this information, see me or TA and make sure that their email info is put on the MASTER file. Please.

Point #2 -- Put CIS in the Subject Line of any email that you send me. (If you think you know why, email me the answer for 10 EC points.)

Point #3 -- Please, no inappropriate email addresses. Not appropriate for business.-- No Sex, Drugs, RocknRoll, in your email addresses please.

Point #5 -- There are projects worth 100s of points easily available -- Here is the first one --

3. Principles of Total Quality Management https://auciello.tripod.com/14tqm.html Defines the Operating Environment for our Classroom and the Workplace. Important.

4. Introduction to Quality, Total Quality Management, and Statistical Process Control https://auciello.tripod.com/itqtqmspc.doc (50-itq) Read it, Sign it. Put in Viewbinder.

7. You must sign in to the A/P every class day. Or at any time, you have more points to record. They must accumulate.

8. On Page2, take Required Quiz #1 (100-all-01) https://auciello.tripod.com/all-01.htm If you don't know, just say so, I am looking for feedback here.

9. Also on Page 2, there are (5) 701 Quizzes [and (5) 757 Quizzes] -- 701Quiz 01, 701Quiz 01a, 701Quiz 02, 701Quiz 03, 701Quiz 04 -- They are worth 50 pts each, not 100. It is very important to start taking these quizzes now.

10. And there is a new type of Lesson-Quiz -- Virtual-Interactive-Visual Application -- such as exqu01.html and woqu01.html. These require absolute concentration and having the application open and running in another window to test each answer, and are very difficult to pass. Tell me if you get an 80 or above.

I am closing AGRAM2 with saying, repeat after me, QUALITY, ACCESSIBILITY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY, Visual Communications, SCOREBOARD, and PERFORMANCE-BASED. 10EC points if you understand my meaning. Be Well. Prof. A. Out.
