Assignment Overview

There are basically three "groups" of assignments in this course:

1. myITlab Exams/Grader projects.

These are done mostly on your own - get trained by watching/doing the training for each chapter, then EITHER take the "Project based "exam OR do the "Grader" project [if one is available].

2. Capstone projects

You download a word doc with instructions - and possibly additional files. Following the instructions,  you create or modify the Powerpoint/Excel spreadsheet/Access database/Word document, then upload your final files[s]. This is also mostly done on your own, but often in class. I'll be working through these in class - HOWEVER, it might be in a non-specific way....i.e. I will demo the CONCEPTS the capstone requires, but not actually doing the capstones for you.

Taking notes is highly recommended, and will save you some headaches & time.

3. Mini-projects

So called b/c I couldn't come up with a better name. {any suggestions?} The Computer Parts project is done totally on your own, but the Alice and Useful Thing are presentations you'll do in class. We'll be spending some time with Alice - it isn't something you'll totally be figuring out on your own.

Let me know if you have questions, and keep an eye on the calendar!
