| Schedule by week or unit | Information to cover Please note that the first assignment is at the bottom of the list posted here. You should do the work in order! I may add to the weekly schedule during the course of the week, so please check back multiple times. Please keep copies of all work you submit until you receive your final grade at the end of the semester. Play computer means to figure out the results yourself by evaluating the data rather than running the query. Remember that when I teach in class, I record all my classes and capture notes on the Smartboard in the spring and fall. The recordings (audio) and the Smartboard are available for all students to use under Audio and Smartboard. This semester you should use the information from 2019 and some from Spring 2020. |
|---|---|
| HELP schedule | I will try to set up some optional class Zoom meetings that you can attend. Check the week of information to see the times and dates. But first
you need to tell me some days and times that work for you. There will be tutors available for this class. You can check with the tutoring center or contact me for times and days. I will post the information when I get it. If you want to meet on Zoom with me, you can email me with a couple of times you can meet and usually one of those will work. I will send out the information to contact me on Zoom. I will post availability but you can also set something up with me. |
| Week #14 Week of May 12th |
I am not tooooo far behind in my correcting so you can pass in a couple of things ( 1 or 2) on Thursday. Maybe even three if we talk. You will loose late points. |
| Week #13 Flex Week of May 5th |
INFORMATION: This week you should continue looking at VB. There will be no assignments next week.Check back for the required status sheet that will let me make sure I have everything you have sent. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: We are continuing with the Visual Basic examples using the same address we used last week.Visual Basic Programs to download and unzip TOPIC VIDEOS: Input, work areas and loopsArrays - compare JS and VB Write and read files TOPIC VIDEOS and Other information on arrays: This is information for the assignment on arrays:Video on arrays Array in html Array in Visual Basic SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: And more Visual Basic (11/19/19 11:00) Accompanying audioAnd more Visual Basic (11/19/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation And more Visual Basic (11/19/19 12:30) Accompanying audio And more Visual Basic (11/19/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Arrays, read/write VB (11/26/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Arrays, read/write VB (11/26/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Arrays, read/write VB (11/26/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Arrays, read/write VB (11/26/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Write a html program using JavaScript and then write the same program using Visual Basic. For Visual Basic, pass in pictures of the screen showing the code and the running program like you did last week. For JavaScript pass in the html program.The assignment is to take in a state code from 1 - 6 each code standing for a state (you decide which code goes with which state). Set up an array for the state names. Using the code extract and display the state name. CHECK BACK for the REQUIRED STATUS SHEET Required Status Sheet Extra Credit: Extra Credit Quiz Makeup/Extra Credit Visual Basic program Do not pass in the programs - pass in pictures of screen of the program running and picture of the code. You may do part of the programming assignment. There will be no final exam, so homework, projects, quizzes/tests etc. are 90% of your grade. If you want a final exam, you can contact me and we can discuss how it will work. You would need to contact me by this Thursday so you will have time to do it. Note that the Status Sheet is required and I do not calculate your grade until I get it. It is your insurance policy and mine as well. If you say you passed something in and I don't have it, I will contact you to straighten it out. Homework is due on Monday, May 12th, but I will take a few things up until the last day of classes, Wednesday, May 14th. I would appreciate them coming in sooner so send them as you complete them.If you owe a lot, I absolutely need to get most of them in the next week and not a load at the end. I have been sick so I am a little behind - sorry! Check back! |
| Week #12 Flex Week of April 28th |
INFORMATION: If you need help, don't forget to login to the tutoring center or contact me..We are going to look at Visual Basic and that is the last real topic for the semester. We are starting Visual Basic this week. The current version is VB2022. Most of the examples are from previous versions but they work, it is the interface that has changed. The first example goes into version 2022 and there is a video to accompany it. Download Visual Studio from Microsoft Use Community edition. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Visual Basic Programs to download and unzipTOPIC VIDEOS: Make first Visual Basic using version 2022Make first Visual Basic program using previous versions of VB Two introductory Visual Basic programs IF Visual Basic program If where one thing has to be true and either of two others More IF examples in VB SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: Intro Visual Basic (11/12/19 11:00) Accompanying audioIntro Visual Basic (11/12/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Intro Visual Basic (11/12/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Intro Visual Basic (11/12/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation More Visual Basic (11/14/19 11:00) Accompanying audio More Visual Basic (11/14/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation More Visual Basic (11/14/19 12:30) Accompanying audio More Visual Basic (11/14/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Visual Basic AssignmentYou should pass in a picture of the code you wrote and a picture of the form and then a picture after you run the program. In some cases you may want to run with different data a second time to show what is happening. |
| Week #11 Flex Week of April 21st |
INFORMATION: This week we are going to go back and take another look at databases, but this time we are going to use multiple tables. This is a brief introduction to the concepts so that it will make a little sense when people talk about a relational database and 3rd normal form. There are entire courses on this topic, so again my goal is familiarity.EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Normalization (3rd normal form)Student 4 table database Student 4 table data needed We will work on this database. TOPIC VIDEOS: Introduction to relational databasesExample of an order relational databases Access Student Database 1 to 1, 1 to many and I think the Spring versions have a little more information, but I would look at all of them. Relational database (4/16/19) Accompanying audio Relational Database (4/16/19) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Relational database in Access (4/18/19) Accompanying audio Relational Database in Access (4/18/19) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Relational database continued (4/23/19) Accompanying audio Relational Database in Access continued (4/23/19) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Databases (10/31/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Databases (10/31/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Databases (10/31/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Databases (10/31/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Donation database you need to doAs always, check back... |
| Week #10 Flex Week of April 14th |
INFORMATION: This is mainly a CATCH UP WEEK, however I am putting up the Portfolio Project which is not due unil May 5th so you can get started on it.CIS Alum Panel April 10, 2025 - recording audio only ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Portfolio Project to start (must be done using HTML that you write): I want you to start creating an online portfolio. For CIS majors you can work on this throughout your time at Bristol and develop a portfolio to help you when you are looking for a job. For now we are going to do a basic start. You should make a title page with basic information and a link to a second page that should contain a menu with links to a database that you upload, two JavaScript problems you have written and other work for this or another course. You can certainly incorporate your introductory page from week #1.The index or first page should have basic information. The second page should link to at least four things that you have done. You can put the work in the root of cisweb or you can put it in a folder. The address should be cisweb.bristolcc.edu/~yourusername/folder or directory if any/name of the page. Remember that the port is now 220. If it is an html page then it has a .html extension. The database has a .accdb extension. Check with me if you have problems. I want this by May 8th The Portfolio should be uploaded like you did with the web page written in HTML. |
| Week #9 Flex Week of April 7th |
INFORMATION: CIS Alum Panel on Zoom at 12 noon on Thursday, April 10th. I will send the address to your Bristol email. Please try to come, it is highly recommended by many students who have attended.CIS Alum Panel April 10, 2025 - recording audio only This week we are going to wrap up JavaScript and we are going to take a little break from learning coding and look at numbering systems. For those of you that bought the optional book, there are some logic examples that you should reference. If you did not get the book some research on logic flowcharts and pseudocode might be helpful. Numbering systems and code This handout covers binary and hex well, but it was written over 20 years ago and the code information is historical and not current. We will look at 8-bit ASCII code which is not covered and look at the link below. Reference for ASCII You can start looking this week, but the assignment on this will be next week.(my mistake I wanted it this week but you can choose either due this week or next) EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: A few examples of conversion using binary, decimal and hex.SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: Numbering systems (10/22/19 11:00) Accompanying audioNumbering systems (10/22/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Numbering systems (10/22/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Numbering systems (10/22/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASCII and portfolio (10/29/19 11:00) Accompanying audio I forgot to turn on the recorder so I would suggest using the Audio and Smartboard from the 12:30 class. I did try to record some things from the beginning in a separate recording, but not so good...

I know there are a lot of models out on the web. I want you to write your own code. If you do code that I have not covered, you need to explain what you did and how it works. You are playing against the computer which should be a random number. I did a random number example in the guess number program. Note that you have an extra week to do this. Extra Credit: A loop in the Rock/Paper/Scissors program so that the user can choose to play again. There are problems with document.write in a loop because of browser changes, the choice of playing again is extra credit and will require some research - also I recommend alert as opposed to document.write) |
| Week #8 Flex Week of March 31st |
INFORMATION: Remember that if you get something returned with errors that means you do not have a grade and you need to fix and resubmit.If you are far behind, you need to make a decision about dropping the course or continuing. Wednesday, April 2 is the last day to withdraw from classes with a W. If you do not withdraw and are not passing at the end of the semester I cannot withdraw you so I will have to give you an F unless there are extenuating circumstances that we have discussed and agreed upon. This week we are going to continue with JavaScript so please continue looking at the rest of the examples under the JavaScript. Eventurally you should look at them all up through and including the series of Guess Game scripts/programs. The book if you bought it is a reference book, check out the logic explanations. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Look at the JavaScript examplesFor now we are skipping arrays but you should look at the rest. TOPIC VIDEOS: Final totals etc.Math facts programs Math facts continued Guess game programs Review of programs and comments on Rock, Paper,Scissors SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: More JavaScript (10/10/19 11:00) Accompanying audioMore JavaScript (10/10/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation More JavaScript (10/10/19 12:30) Accompanying audio More JavaScript (10/10/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Draw the flowcharts or write the pseudocode for JavaScript Assignment 2.JavaScript Assignment 2 - write the code in JavaScript and pass in running versions of each problem. Check back as always! |
| Week #7 Flex Week of March 24th |
INFORMATION: Be sure you have gone over the JavaScript notes posted the week of March 10th. I posted them early to make sure you had some time to look at them. This week you will get your first JavaScript assignment. I think doing a help session would be a good idea. I am going to sugggest Monday at 8:00 PM. Let me know if that works or if you have other times to suggest, let me know.ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: First JavaScript assignmentFlowchart and Pseudocode test This is a test. I will accept it late, but late points will be subtracted. The flowcharts are my (not so successful) experiment with a drawing toy! Let me know if you have questions. Remember it is a test so no working with anyone but me (that includes tutors). As always, check back. |
| Vacation Week Week of March 17th |
Enjoy your vacation but not so much that you don't do a lot of catch up if you are behind. I will be around for questions most of the week although toward the end less so. Note that your Career and Mentor paper has been assigned last week. It would be good to contact your mentor! |
| Week #6 Flex Week of March 10th |
INFORMATION: This week I plan to post a mentor assignment. The mentors are alum that are available to you to ask questions about their job and working in computing. You will be asked to write a paper incorporating information from your mentor.Remember, the information on logic is posted under week #5 Flex and you should go over it carefully if you did not do that last week. . In working with computers, logic is one of the most important skills that people in the field need to feel comfortable with. NOTES/EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: As always, be sure you listen to the videos. They go over the topics. For backup there are the Smartboard and audio from a previous class which are the lectures that I delivered in class - a lot of students find those very helpful.Start the week by looking at the logic components and then move on to JavaScript. We will continue with topics like if and loops next week. Some of the material on JavaScript will definitely be continued next week. Be sure to go over the Topic Videos on JavaScript and the examples and again I recommend the Smartboard and audio from last year. Our goal in the next few weeks is to be able to use logic to figure out how to solve a problem and then write a script/program with JavaScript. The next topic is the introduction to JavaScript and above all else, I want you to understand the examples so that you to can write the code. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Please look at the JavaScript examples at this address.Specifically look at the examples up through if statements and next week we will move on through finaltotals.html and maybe beyond.. POWERPOINT PREPARATIONS: IF flowchart, pseudocode powerpointLoop notes powerpoint TOPIC VIDEOS: Explanation of the Logic Powerpoint assignmentExplanation of the IF statement Powerpoint presentation Explanation of the loop Powerpoint presentation Introduction to JavaScript Decisions in JavaScript Decision where one thing has to be true and either of two others Debug JavaScript in Firefox Loops in JavaScript SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: Logic ifs and loops (9/26/19 11:00) Accompanying audioLogic ifs and loops (9/26/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Logic ifs and loops (9/26/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Logic ifs and loops (9/26/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Inclass ifs (10/1/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Inclass ifs (10/1/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Inclass ifs (10/1/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Inclass ifs (10/1/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Intro JavaScript (10/3/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Intro JavaScript (10/3/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Intro JavaScript (10/3/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Intro JavaScript (10/3/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation JavaScript if and loop (10/8/19 11:00) Accompanying audio JavaScript if and loop (10/8/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation JavaScript if and loop (10/8/19 12:30) Accompanying audio JavaScript if and loop (10/8/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Logic PowerPoint assignmentCareer and mentor paper: The mentors are professionals who went through the CIS program at Bristol and are now working in the field or continuing their studies. They have generously volunteered to be an email mentor to discuss career and skills with current students. This assignment will need you to interview your mentor. I want you to write a paper about careers in the computer field. There should be two parts to the paper: The first part should be an interview with your mentor about the work he or she does in the computing field or if your mentor is continuing studies in computing, ask about the degree program he or she is in and what they would like to do when they complete their studies. You should also ask your mentor about the soft skills they find are important and why. Your paper should contain information about your mentor's job or degree program with several quotes from your mentor. The second part should be researching a career in computing that interests you and writing about what the job involves and the skills that are needed. The paper should include notes citing your sources (I would estimate that you need at least a couple of pages to cover the goals well). In addition, send me a list of the questions you asked your mentor. The paper is due on April 24th by midnight. If you have trouble contacting your mentor, let me know and pass in the mentor part late (the research part must be on time to get full points). If you are too far behind on work and you need to send me a lot of work, I may not send you a mentor until you are more caught up and proved you are participating in this course. If you do not get a mentor this week and you think you should have be sure to contact me so we can figure out any problems. I want to also note that a group of alum will hold a online panel discussion later this semester on Zoom (April 10th at noon), you can use that in your paper as well but it should be an add on! |
| Week #5 Flex Week of March 3rd |
INFORMATION: As always I am available to set up a Zoom meeting with you or with a group! I think it would be a good plan to have one about logic. So I am suggesting Monday at 8:00PM.We are going to start looking at logic this week. Logic is truly the key to successful computing, it is at the root of instructing computers. The optional book is a reference book so, if you got it use it to help you understand logic. The first thing to do is the Practice exercise. I would listen to the video for the first one and make sure you understand and then I would try the second one alone before listening to the video. Finally you also want to go through the logic concepts and the file processing video. As always I suggest listing to the audio along with the Smartboard from the previous classes. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: This week, we will go over some of the principles from the readings above and start looking at logic. We will work on the practice exercise below. Note that there are Smartboard and audio about these examples as well as Topic Videos.Practice exercise Practice continued TOPIC VIDEOS: Topic Video to go with example 1 in practice exerciseTopic Video to go with example 1 in practice exercise (youtube version) Topic Video to go with example 2 in practice exercise Topic Video to go with example 2 in practice exercise (youtube version) Topic Video introducing some logic concepts Topic Video introducing some logic concepts (youtube version) Topic Video to go with file processing in practice continued Topic Video to go with file processing in practice continued (youtube version) Video introducing the 30 question assignment below.

In this after #6 you can just write the message to cut down on the writing.Another Logic Assignment Check back! |
| Week #4 Flex Week of February 24th |
INFORMATION: If you would like to set up a Zoom meeting to go over anything, please let me know.When you send the Access, it may look like it is not getting through. I am probably still getting it - I just have to move it from Outlook to process. Sending a zip file can help. Please pass in one assignment (all parts of the assignment) in one email so if there are two assignments/quizzes for a week I want separate emails. Make correcting easier. If you have a question make that clear in the subject. Please get in touch if you have questions - I really do not want to see anyone fall behind. I want to look at SQL (Structured Query Language) this week. I am including some references that will help and I suggest you do some research on your own. Introduction to SQL W3Schools on SQL Inventory database and explanation: Inventory database Some SQL examples Let me know if you find a typo. Reading - there is not a required text but there is reading that will add to your knowledge base and that is required. The readings below should be done sometime in the next few weeks. Ideally by the end of March. If you bought the optional text, read chapter 1 and then check out the material that goes with the work we are doing. Compiler definition Types of software Memory and RAM Programming Process Pseudocode and Flowcharts If statements Loops Data types Note taking Skills for college success include knowing how to do effective note taking. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Inventory database and explanation:Inventory database Examples of SQL with logic flowcharts using Inventory database Examples of Access queries done in class: Query examples from 11:00 class (not sure which semester) Query examples from 12:30 class (not sure which semester) Review of Access put up October 3rd 2020 - corrected version Oct 5th Accompanying video Review of Access user interface and SQL - put up 2/18/2022 TOPIC VIDEOS: Access review put up October 3rd 2020Access review (youtube version) Video about group project Review of Access user interface - put up 2/18/2022 Review of Access using SQL - put up 2/18/2022 SQL queries SQL queries (youtube version) SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Fall 2019: The Smartboard and audio that introduced SQL is part of the listing from week #2.Queries using SQL (9/19/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Queries using SQL (9/19/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Queries using SQL (9/19/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Queries using SQL (9/19/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Access Database assignment to query with SQL: You need to send me the Access database and a list of the SQL queries you wrote so that if the queries get "Microsoft fixed" I can see what you wrote. I also want you to send me the output that was generated. Remember, the queries have to all be done in SQL. This is not a group project. You need to write the SQL and not have it generated - I am looking for simple, straight forward SQL, the kind I did in my examples. It needs to be done individually. Softskills database to query with SQL So I want two things: the database and a printout showing the SQL code and the resulting output.Group assignment was posted at the end of week 3 so if you did not see it, make sure you do. You should have gotten an email assigning you to a group. Check back. |
| Week #3 Flex Week of February 17th |
INFORMATION: If you are interested in setting up a Zoom help session, please let me know.Downloading Access is under last week - if you have not done it, please give it a try and contact Sabrina or me if you have problems. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Example I used in video Bristol serverExample I used in video my server TOPIC VIDEOS: Introduction to using AccessIntroduction to using Access (youtube version) Access from Smartboard with flowcharts Access from Smartboard with flowcharts (youtube version) More Access Queries More Access Queries (youtube version) SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES FROM Spring 2020 and Fall 2019: There were two sections of the CIS120 last Fall (11:00 and 12:30)and each had two days of Smartboard and audio. I am showing them all so you can choose what to watch. Note also that you should look at the introSQL part next week.WinSCP and intro Access (9/10/19 11:00) Accompanying audio WinSCP and intro Access (9/10/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation WinSCP and intro Access (9/10/19 12:30) Accompanying audio WinSCP and intro Access (9/10/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Access queries and intro SQL (9/12/19 11:00) Accompanying audio Access queries and intro SQL (9/12/19 11:00) Accompanying Smartboard presentation Access queries and intro SQL (9/12/19 12:30) Accompanying audio Access queries and intro SQL (9/12/19 12:30) Accompanying Smartboard presentation ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Check back for a group assignment.This is a group assignment: You will get an email for your group designating a group leader. You can work with email or set up a Zoom account where you can work. The goal is to talk it over and figure out the answers. If you do not get a group assignment, contact me. I do not want you to divide up the questions, I want everyone contributing their thoughts on each problem. You have two weeks to do this so due Monday March 10th. This assignment involves the user interface and logic - it does not get into SQL. This is NOT an assignment that can be resubmitted. Note: On the flowcharts in the assignment, sometimes the word Technology is cut off and you see Course instead of Course Technology. DB assignment DB assignment (html version) Answer sheet for project Book Database to use in answering questions This is an individual assignment: Access Database Assignment on BCC College Resources. Access Database Assignment on BCC College Resources Sometimes it looks like what you are sending has a problem - I can usually handle it so send it and I will check. Access is not supported on the Mac but Bristol labs are available. This assignment must be done using the Access user interface covered in the notes and examples. It should not be done with SQL - next weeks assignment will deal with SQL. It is acceptable to leave some data blank and makeup some data, but you should find some data on your own as well. There have been questions about the plan to use code in the past. The plan to use code is simply you saying whether you plan to use that resource. You can have a Y, N, M for yes, no, maybe or you can decide on your own codes. Feel free to make up data and leave some fields blank.The goal here is mostly testing the Access so look at the queries and see what fields are tested and therefore needed and try to make a pattern of data that works. |
| Week #2 Flex Week of February 10th |
INFORMATION: I am willing to set up an optional Zoom meeting to go over uploading and or Access. If you are interested, give me some potential days and times.This week I will have you load your page up to the server and then we will start looking at the concepts of a database and how to create one in Access. Loading the page to the server is complicated so please get in touch with me or the tutor, Sabrina, if you are having problems. Access is part of Office 365 and the instructions to download it from Bristol are below. Download Access database If you have problems let me know - I do not get the student version. Please look up a definition of a database and specifically one using Access. Here are some suggestions: What is a database Intro to databases What is Access Again, there is a lot happening this week so do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need help. Check back always to see if things have been added. TOPIC VIDEOS: Loading up your page has some complications, so I want you to spend some time looking at the video notes.Upload html page to cisweb Another on uploading using WinSCP Note that I need to be in the virtual machine to connect to cisweb via winscp and apporto gets me into the virtual machine Finally when you have it uploaded onto cisweb, you need to figure out the address to give to others to see the file or files you upload. There is a very short video on that. See page in browser If you get confused (I did too!) I want you to have time to work with me or the tutoring center. If you wanted to do more with WinSCP you should look at the notes I left under Older Notes on WinSCP and cisweb. OLDER NOTES ON WINSCP AND CISWEB: Before we started using Horizon. These are notes about some of the things you can do when you are connected to cisweb. In my notes I talk about cisweb.bristol.mass.edu. Things have changed and you should now use cisweb.bristolcc.edu and the port number should be 220. You can also check the notes on the Smartboard and the accompanying audio as well as the notes below. Again: To load things up on the Internet, we use WINSCP. Please read the WINSCP and cisweb information: (note that in my examples I use cisweb.bristol.mass.edu as the host and 22 as the port, we are now using cisweb.bristolcc.edu as the host and 220 as the port. Here is information about using cisweb and WINSCP at BCC Talks more specifically about portfolio We will be looking at making a portfolio later in the semester. Remember the host is cisweb.bristolcc.edu and the port is 220. ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Assignment: Upload your web page(s) and images introducing yourself to the cisweb server and send me the address.Don't forget that you need all the pages if you have more than one and all the images you used. Quiz #1: Quick Quiz that is due next Thursday (February 20th). I DO NOT accept late quizzes. Always check back to see if anything else has been posted! |
| Week #1 Flex Week of February 5th |
INFORMATION: Woops...This is a flex start course and I should have had the start date February 5th. Sorry! Lots of information this week!Intro to Spring 2025 CIS120 Intro to Fall 2024 CIS120 Intro to Spring 2024 CIS120 Intro recording from 9/4/2024 Each week, I will post information at the start of the week. Please check back several times during the week because I may add information and/or assignments as the week progresses. Check the help session for support! If you are just starting as a CIS major, I recommend that you double check your schedule with me if you have questions. You should have gotten login information at your Bristol email acount. Please be sure to check for it. We will use it at various points in the course. Please check the examples, the topic videos and the other resources posted at my site that I list and that relate to what we are covering. There are lots of resources at my site, some that we will never use. Please use the resources I tell you to use about the current topic beinging covered.When this course runs in class, I record my lectures (under Audio) and capture my notes and examples using Smartboard. These are available some from the Spring of 2020 but mostly from the Fall of 2019. I strongly recomment you look at them as well. We will look at HTML/HTML5 and CSS this week to develop a web page. Please look at the samples under Examples and reproduced here. So, to summarize. This week look at the examples under EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT and the explanation of these examples under TOPIC VIDEOS. You should also try out the SMARTBOARD AND AUDIO NOTES so you can hear the lecture and see the notes from the class.

So assignments for this week are due Thursday, February 13th since the course starts on February 5th. I would try to get it in sooner because their will be a couple of assignments the second week of classes. Your assignment for this week: HTML page to introduce yourself (needs to include CSS) I should clarify that you should use a lot of the HTML in the examples so you should use things like lists, tables, images, CSS etc to get the best grade. The HTML code needs to be code you write, you should not use a tool that generates code. Even if in the real world you decide to generate code, you need a basic understanding of how it works and you get that by writing your own code. If you use extra HTML that you research and use to create the page you need to explain the commands for extra credit. Also extra credit for having more than one page and linking them. Note: You do not need to put your web page(s) on line the first week. We will do that in the future. |
