The burden of keeping in
CONTACT IS YOURS. BE SURE THAT YOU EMAIL ME ONCE PER WEEK WITH YOUR
email address, backup email address, and phone number. BE SURE
THAT EVERY CLASS DAY YOU CALL 213.763.7268 for messages, and check
your email, and look for new a-grams ON THIS SITE. TO GET AN
"A" OR "B", YOU MUST PRESENT CONCLUSIVE PROOF TO
ME THAT YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK, AND IT IS IN YOUR PORTFOLIO, WHICH I
WILL ASK YOU TO SHOW ME IN PERSON OR FED-EX TO ME, BY
ARRANGEMENT. AGAIN, THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS UP TO
YOU. YOU MUST CONVINCE ME THAT YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK TO THE
QUALITY STANDARD TO RECEIVE AN "A" OR
"B"! (do you understand what I am talking
about?)
Because I try to practice
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT and
INNOVATION (CQII), this course has evolved to the level that it can be
taken OnLine with no or little personal contact w. the Instructor.
From a tech point-of-view, this is progress, making it transportable;
from a Quality of Instruction p-o-v, it raises concerns about ensuring
that you, the customer, receives sufficient 'guided learning' to in this
subject that is so critical to your education and career. Flat
out, the standards of this course -- skills in using Word, Excel,
Internet Browsers, graphics editors, etc -- have to be met, else we fail
the "quality standard."
We learn by doing in a structured environment. You need
to run the applications software listed above to pass this course. You
need to
meet
certain performance-levels to pass this course. You need to be
'interacting in a virtual and visual environment. (Also, you
should have got the significance of 'hyper Bell Curve' -- the relationship of
optimal technology, performance and quality -- email me for 50opt points if
you 'get' this.).
Meeting this performance-levels or demonstrating your skills
in the skills areas in a Virtual environment, meant that I had to develop new
"teaching-guiding-testing-tracking" software which the quiz
above --
https://auciello.tripod.com/exqu01.html
is the prototype.
I plan to have another lesson-quiz
https://auciello.tripod.com/woqu01.html running soon.
(Not in time for 7966).
You take the quizzes by actually opening up EXCEL or WORD on
your desktop, and trying-testing-interacting with the program while you are
researching answers to the questions of the quiz. You will have 2
windows open, and switch back-and-forth as you are involved in
"learning-doing-testing".
Thus, hopefully, you understand why these quizzes are vital to your education,
and why max effort should be expended to complete them at a high level.
There are many lessons on my site to help you learn these topics.
I expect that these will be done also.
These lessons will be downloaded, modified from the original,
done to a world-class presentation quality level, signed, and put in a viewbinder (portfolio) that I can authenticate during the last week of class.
If you are out-of-the area, I will have you Fed-Ex to me, and hold your grade
until I see it. It is about verification. and if you think
about it, I am holding these standards for you and your benefit.

continuous. Thus you may continue to access
