Dr. Barrett Lecture # 1 Introduction to Computing and Multimedia Faculty

Introductions

While technology can and does bless lives, “never forget that while we have computers, cameras, microphones, fiber-optic networks, clouds, and satellites, we have failed if we do not rely on the Holy Ghost.” - President Henry B. Eyring

Today Labs, Homework and Quizzes Grading Calendar and due dates What you will need to get started Class format Policies Learning Objectives and Outcomes Groups A Problem

I Remember: 10% of what I read, 20% of what I hear, 30% of what I see, 50% of what I see and hear, + 70% of what I discuss with others, 80% of what I experience by doing, 95% of what I teach others.

Therefore, CS100 will be … Hands-on, lab assignments – learn by doing Interactive in class (some work in groups) Thinking assignments Homework, quizzes, analyzing, sharing in class

Labs: 70% of Grade Lab 1: Introduction to Computer Lab - 1 % Lab 2: Personal Website - 3% Lab 3: HTML Order Form - 4% Lab 4: Javascript Graphics - 5% Lab 5: HTML Order Form with JavaScript - 10% Lab 6: Image Editing with Photoshop or GIMP - 10% Lab 7: Editing Sound with Audition or Audacity - 8% Lab 8: Movie Editing with Premiere, iMovie etc. - 9% Lab 9: Family History I - 10% Lab 10: Family History II - 10%

Lab Pass-Offs Lab assignments can be found on the CS100 website –Completed Lab assignments with a 'Date Modified' timestamp on or before the due date receive full credit. –Any lab assignment completed after the due date will automatically lose 1 point (10% of its value) per school day. (After 2 weeks, an assignment has no grading value!). –Lab assignments are 'passed off' by a TA during regular TA hours in 1121 TMCB or 1150 TMCB.

Late Policy All assignments due on date posted – “ Date Modified ” timestamp. Any assignment submitted after that loses 10% per school day. After 2 weeks the assignment has no value.

Cheating Talk to anyone you want about how to do the assignment Work with your assigned group We will make it clear which assignments should be done with your group and which you should do the work yourself Copying or having someone else do the work is considered cheating and a violation of the University Honor Code

Pornography Zero Tolerance “Crash and Tell”

Homework: 15% of Grade 8 Homework assignments Paper and pencil and/or keyboard Assigned and reviewed in class Due on the date indicated on the Calendar To help develop algorithmic thinking and problem-solving skills Will be able to drop 1 (lowest) homework score

Quizzes: 15% of Grad 7 Quizzes Multiple Choice, Closed Book, Work alone Given on Canvas – review in class Will need to be completed by midnight on the due date. Keep students current with new concepts No re-takes or make-ups on quizzes unless prior arrangements are made (or sickness and extenuating circumstances) Will be able to drop 1 (lowest) quiz

Your Grade: Lab Assignments:70% Homework:15% Quizzes:15% =100% No Exams! No Final! And that’s final! The Lab Assignments are cumulative, as are Homework Assignments and Quizzes.

Schedule: See Web Page

Grading Scale A A B B83-86 B C C73-76 C D D63-66 D EBelow 60 Do not grade on the curve. May curve down. Never curve up.

Questions about what you need to get started?

Class Structure/Format

Class Format: Highly Interactive Prayer/thought Questions from HW, Quizzes, Life; Peek at new technologies 1.Introduce: Topic/Problem/Question 2.Explain: concepts/principles, tools needed to solve problem 3.Demo: use of the tools, software Students follow interactively on keyboard 4.Practice: Give a specific task/problem to solve - the one posed at the beginning - Some tasks groups, some solo 5.Evaluate: Walk around: help, discuss problem/solution. Share: Project examples of student work on screen 6.Re-practice: In class, Homework, Labs

Lecture Material You will be responsible for the Lecture Material on your own, outside of class, in groups. Lecture Material will appear on Quizzes We will use the first few minutes of class to hit the highlights and answer any questions you have

Laptop in-Class Policy Use while we are doing interactive demos together or while working on an in-class exercise/problem or sharing work Laptop lids are down otherwise! Please no ing or working on assignments during discussion/lecture. It is too distracting to other students.

Learning Objectives/Outcomes The Central Goal of CS100 is to foster Computational Thinking in the understanding, creation and use of algorithms to solve problems. This will be done by - Understanding Data Representation - Using a variety of Computer Applications - Writing Computer Programs

Questions about Learning Objectives/Outcomes?

Create Groups Count by 3’s

A Problem Work in your group and put the numbers in the stack in order On your mark, get set … Call out when done

A Problem How much time? What was your algorithm? Can you think of a more efficient algorithm?
