JULY 1, 2004
Soon I will be excluding
students with Low Points. The good news is that I will give
you an ADD CARD on the first day of the next summer session (July
19) #7965 and carry forward whatever points you have earned to
date. PLEASE READ THIS A-GRAM CAREFULLY.
I am
inundating you with information only because I care,
... you are part of the 'information loop', thus you
have more chance for success. Right?...
I am
working away in the pre-dawn hours .. revising this a-gram. Two
topics -- (1) I preach Continuous Quality Improvement and
Innovation ... so I have to practice it, so I revised this a-gram.
25cqii -- Give another example of CQII. from any world, automotive,
electronics ... 25deming -- if you can relate it to Dr, W. Edwards
Deming. (2) I give you 15ec points because I erred --
the previous version was poorly organized. I accept the
responsibility, and I fixed it.

======================
IN ORDER NOT TO BE DROPPED FOR LOW SCORES, UNDER
1000, PLEASE CHECK YOUR SCORE.

STATING
THIS IN A LOGICAL WAY:
there are
a number of ways to take this course, arranged in descending order
of quality -- with a GAIN vs RISK TRADE-OFF.
1. BEST
WAY --
-- COMING
TO ORIENTATION, 1ST 2 DAYS OF CLASS;
-- GETTING
BOOK;
-- 701
START DISK, CD, AND LEARNING TO RUN
THEM.
--
LEARNING TO USE ATT/PART FORM.
-- HAVING
ACCESS TO AN 'ONLINE COMPUTER' SYSTEM FOR AN 'ONLINE
CLASS'.
-- DOING
WORK ON START DISK OR OTHER WORK.
--
SUBMITTING SCORES, ACCUMULATING THEM, READING
A-GRAMS.
--
EMAILING ME CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS, WITH A BACKUP ADDRESS
(PREFERRED),
-- PLUS
MAILING ADDRESS PLUS PHONE NUMBER.
--
CHECKING FOR MESSAGES ON 213.763.7268. LEAVING PH # IF
NEEDED. AND
-- CALLING
IN OR CHECKING A-GRAMS IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING EMAIL FROM ME AT
LEAST 2 / WEEK (possibly because your inbox is
full).
--
BUILDING POINTS. PUTTING IN NOTEBOOK. PRESENTING IT AS PROOF, FOR
FINAL GRADE.
FOLLOWING
THIS WILL HELP GUARANTEE YOU "A" OR "B" -- LOW
RISK.
=====================================
2. LOW AND
MEDIUM QUALITY -- EXTREME / HIGH RISK.
METHOD.
-- MISSING
ORIENTATION. LATE IN GETTING START DISK. BAD COMPUTER
/ INTERNET AT HOME. NO BACKUP SYSTEM. NO EMAIL OR FULL
INBOX, NO PHONE, NO MAILING ADDRESS, NOT ACCUMULATING (DETAILING)
POINTS. GIVING MORE EXCUSES THAN WORK. NOT
KEEPING YOUR WORD. NOT KEEPING IN CONTACT. TELLING
LOTS OF STORIES (worse than me). NOT SUBMITTING WORK, NOT CHECKING IN 4
TIMES / WEEK.
( YOU WILL
PROBABLY LOSE USING THIS MODE, BECAUSE GRADES ARE BASED ON POINTS,
AND POINTS HAVE TO BE EARNED CONTINUOUSLY AND REPORTED
CONTINUOUSLY. THE ATT/PART PROGRAM TRACKS YOUR SUBMISSIONS
BY DAY, TIME, DOWN TO THE MINUTE. IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE http://deform7966.html.txt
LISTING, YOU HAVE SLIM TO NO CHANCES OF PASSING.
)
THIS
COURSE AND ALL MY WORK IS CUSTOMER-BASED. RECENTLY, I "GOT"
THAT MY CUSTOMER AND YOUR CUSTOMER IS YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYER WHO
WILL DEMAND A CERTAIN SKILL LEVEL. THEREFORE IT IS MY TASK
TO LEAD YOU, TEACH YOU, GUIDE YOU TO THAT SKILL LEVEL. THIS
IS MY JOB. COME SEE ME, AND FLAT OUT ASK ME FOR
HELP!

========================================
....
A bit of 'cybersmack' from Prof. A:
Really, I want to give you assignments that will strengthen
you. Feel free to give me some feedback on how they are
working for you! "Communication between honest people
generally creates value and solves
problems."
Finally, I am starting to really
implement the technology I learned at the Microsoft Innovative
Teacher Seminar in 2002. I develop lessons, transfer them to Frontpage, massage them, refine and test them. Save them,
then FTP them to my website. I expect a huge increase is
learning as more timely, relevant lessons are posted on the Web,
where your future
is!
LAST WORD. YOU MUST BE SIGNING
IN, DOING WORK, REPORTING POINTS, ELSE TO PREVENT YOUR GETTING A
LOW MARK, ....
LET'S GO
DO IT! BE WELL. PROF. A.
OUT.
"I have read this. I got it, Mr. A."
