After that, I must give you the grade based on points that you have earned.   If next week, you are showing < 1200 points, I will drop you for your own good.  Else you would likely earn a "D" or worse!   Also by dropping before the deadline, you will get a "W", and you can enroll or I can add you into my next course with your carrying forward your points! I have gone through the ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION LIST (A/P), cleaning them up, so you can see what your point total, your point history.   Please click on the following to see your point total -- At this point, if you didn't know how to view your point total, this indicates a "severe breakdown of communication" between us, and must, repeat must, be repaired asap if not sooner! https://auciello.tripod.com/deform0156.html.txt https://auciello.tripod.com/deform0158.html.txt https://auciello.tripod.com/deform7966.html.txt https://auciello.tripod.com/deform0160.html.txt   2.  PARTICIPATION FORMS:  701mashel.htm.txt ALL OF THESE ARE FORMS THAT CREATE A FILE. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE THE .txt  EXTENSION.  THAT MEANS WHEN YOU COMPLETE THEM, AND PRESS 'SUBMIT', THEN .txt FILES ARE CREATED THAT I CAN VIEW AND CHECK YOUR WORK.  YOU MUST DO ALL OF THE a-grams (of course), AND ALL OF THE QUIZZES SUCH AS THE 701 SERIES, AND THE 757 SERIES, AS APPROPRIATE.  ALSO, https://auciello.tripod.com/701mashel.htm and https://auciello.tripod.com/757mashel.htm   701q1.htm.txt 757mashel.htm.txt a-gram1.html.txt a-gram2.html.txt a-gram3.html.txt a-gram4.html.txt a-gram5.html.txt a-gram7.html.txt all-01.htm.txt dequiz02.html.txt excelquiz01.html.txt iq02.html.txt page2.html.txt sept2001.htm.txt wordquiz01.html.txt  Please ensure that your name is on each of these text files.  GIVE YOURSELF THE APPROPRIATE CREDIT FOR COMPLETING EACH ONE.  THIS HELPS WITH YOUR GRADES, of course, THAT ARE BASED ON WHAT YOU REPORT AND I VERIFY BY LOOKING AT YOUR PROJECT NOTEBOOK AND/OR WEB PAGES, AS APPROPRIATE. WORK ON THE ABOVE LIST AND QUIZZES!   3.  MOUS Learning Materials:   Everyone has a different learning style.   One style is a 'never-ending, hacking, experimenting' style that leads to huge gains, but lacks structure. Every style has its own merits.  While I would like you to "live" inside these pages, and click and navigate all over the place, and take all the knowledge that you can from these pages, it is not realistic for some students who want specific lessons, objectives and dates, to which they are entitled.  For the "hackers", let it fly ... go everywhere, and report it!  For the other types, work with me on this -- this week, you should start the MOUS lesson material.  Can you find it, and start doing all of the first 2 levels of WORD?  I am eager to take you deep into Excel, which I love even more than WORD, and help you use  math and logic to solve problems and really boost your math skills! This is getting close to "Critical Thinking", so while we are at,  find the Critical Thinking Lesson on putting an "electrical charge on the leading edge of a wing", and let your brain and your imagination "take off" and tell me where that leads you!   I went far with this -- done by a distant relative of mine from Argentina who works for the _____ (this is a clue, so you go figure it.) GRADE PROGRAM FOR 701 START DISK:   totally, absolutely working on station #3 in K302.  I will show you how to score your disk.  This verifies your points. Be well. -------------------------            ========================================================= CIS 757 Please refer right now to https://auciello.tripod.com/757mashel.htm to view the information on "Forms"    Repeating from a-gram9 ....  "A":  over 3000 points AND an outstanding HomePage that scrolling text, slide show, sound, music, a form, and email button. Ask me about adding Video Clips. The "form" program is working:  It is at https://auciello.tripod.com/page2.html  Download it, modify it, personalize it, and make it work as part of your Home Page. Pls come in for help asap for this project worth 400 points. I am happy about several things: What Rudy Bernal is doing to post your home pages.  Pls keep this up. This week I intend to make sure that you get: 1.  the "hover"  applet code   (fphover.class, fphoverx.class)  Sometimes, if you do it right, you can download them from my website just by typing their names. Then download a web site that uses them, make adjustments, and Voila!,  you got it.   I intend to go over this, this is my responsibilty to get it to you. 2.  Next, and I have not subjected this to my usual "3 time" test, but there is the code for a form on nextpg2  (page2).  Find it, modify it.  It appears that you will need a web site with a cgi-bin folder (I can give you access to one, see me).  Having forms work usually leads to money. 3.  Also, I want to encourage you to get commercial -- get a D camera, go make flyers, make slide shows.  Then ask me about slide show videos.   Think Visual.  Think commercial! 4. Ricardo Torres, LATTC student, and a writer / publisher asked me to sponsor the Online Literary Magazine, Club We the People.  Please help make this successful.  currently parked at  http://clublatinosundos.tripod.com   Extra credit for working on this. A handout which is essentially a Javascript Language Reference Guide will be passed out this week.   It is expected that you will begin reading it, highlighting it, etc, and relating it to the JS work that we do.  Javascript is the portal language to awesomely powerful languages for client and server side applications on the Web.  Get into it!   The handout is based on the below link: http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.5/reference/ix.html Also, to "kick it up a notch",  I am giving you the source code for an Upgrade Model Home Page -- https://auciello.tripod.com/shawnte/ind-shaw.html Essential enabling skill:  Learn how to download and use fphover.class,  fphoverx.class applets! Be well.  Prof. A.  out.   ===============================================   Q   PRESS the "Submit Data" button below
