1. If necessary, make a new folder on your desktop with your name.
2. Put all your work in this folder, except any projects we are working on today.
3. At the end of the period, put today's projects in this folder also.
4. We may copy our work to a centralized server. (to be determined)
Over the next week, they will upgrade all the computers in this classroom. When doing an upgrade, it is always possible we could lose your work. So we want to back up your work before the upgrades start.

Fortunes
A bird in hand is safer than one overhead.
A closed mouth gathers no foot.
A day for firm decisions!!!!! Or is it?
A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a Unicorn.
A witty saying means nothing. ~ Voltaire
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are worthless.
All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly aurifers.
Almost all good computer programs contain at least one random-number generator.
Becoming an overnight success usually takes years.
Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum.

PM Grades
There was an error in the Infinite Campus setup where your grades were
not being calculated correctly. The scores for the Academic assignments
were not given the correct weight. After correcting the setup, most
grades went up, because most of you are doing great work on the Academic
assignments.
A+ > 100 = 2 A+ < 100 = 2 A or A- = 4 B = 5 C = 1

Computer Programming
Contestants demonstrate knowledge of computer programming, describe how programs and programming languages work and describe the purposes and practices of structured programming. The contest may include a computer programming problem consisting of background information and program specifications. An appropriate (successfully executable) computer program from design notes and instructions will be developed.
Related Technical Math
On a written test, contestants demonstrate skills required to solve mathematical problems commonly found in the skilled trades and professional and technical occupations. Skills demonstrated include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers, fractions and decimals; applied word problems; percentages; ratio proportions; averages; area; volume; metric measures and traditional (Imperial) measures and trigonometry.
