Course Description • Javascript & HTML5 • Artwork- A bit of photoshop • Coding skills, hardcore coding skills- We are using the basics • Robots! (Maybe) • Engineering and problem solving- With LEGO! • More Coding!
Next course? • Specialist High Skills Major • COOP- See Mr. Mazer for the exciting details! • Grade 11 Comp Sci- More involved coding • Grade 11 Engineering- Bigger, smarter robotics. Autonomous systems. • Built out of steel using CNC machines, 3D printers
Course Requirements • No Prior knowledge needed, we will cover everything from the beginning
EVALUATIONS • Term Work (Tests, Assignments, etc)- 70% • Assignments- Little daily assignments • Written tests- Write some code, explain some concepts, the usual. • Big projects are generally open ended, if you have a great idea for a project let me know. Maybe we can use it! • Culminating- 10% • Open ended, you write a proposal for a project. I OK it. You make it. • Exam- 20% • Too bad, had to be a down side somewhere.
Missed Work • You are responsible for any missed tests / assignments • If you miss a test, be prepared to write it the minute you get back • If something extra special happens, talk to me and we will work something out
The Intertubes • Video games- Leave them alone, if you want to play a game, make one! • Youtube for Music- Use head phones, if I can hear it, so can the person next to you.
Lates & absences • If you arrive late, stay outside until I’m done the lesson or I let you in, just wave to let me know you are there. This way there are no interruptions. • Frequent lates / absences- Phone calls home, if you aren’t in class it is going to be VERY difficult to get a good grade
Food & Drink • This space intentionally left blank.
Lab equipment • IF something is broken when you get to class, let me know. DON’T just fix it by breaking the computer next to it. • DON’T break my stuff, leave the cables alone • If you insist on breaking things, you will lose you computer privileges
Where does the work go? • Save everything on YOUR student drive • Make sure YOU can login • Make a folder on your drive for this course and keep it organised (that means sub-folders) • Eventually, your big projects will go online
