Update Wednesday March 25

Clarification on code assignments

There was some confusion about the Personality Quiz assignment and how it fits into the overall scheme of things. This is because the PM class almost finished it but the AM class just barely started it.

If you are running Xcode on a Mac, your highest priority is to finish the Personality Quiz. Then you can move on to certain Unit 4 assignments. Completing the Personality Quiz will take some time. I can cut you some slack on other assignments if you finish the Personality Quiz.

If you do not have a Mac, you can't complete the Personality Quiz or any other Xcode assignments. So I've given you some JavaScript assignments to sharpen your skills.

I gave you a lot of assignments to keep you going for a long time. But I'm only expecting you to do two JavaScript assignments this week or the Personality Quiz or two Unit 4 assignments, depending on your setup. The other three assignments are Assistive Tech, Usability, and the Status Report.

Next week, you'll do more coding assignments from the same list, either from Unit 4 or from the JavaScript textbook.

Clarification on Adobe Illustrator

In order to get the free deal on Adobe Illustrator, you need to have a metroed.net email address. I thought we already had those. They are going to issue email addresses for you today. Don't try to sign up for Adobe until we get you those new email addresses. If you already tried to sign up, you probably got a 7-day or 30-day free trial, but with a metroed.net email address you can create a new account where you can get a 2-month free trial.

Your code from the classroom

I have a list of students who want specific code from the computers in the classroom. I will start sending those out today. If you don't get what you asked for by 3:30 pm today, send me another email. If you didn't request anything yet, send me an email letting me know what you need.

Do you have a Mac and Xcode?

  • AM class: Talia, Geno, Konan, Hira, Derek, Vivian.
  • PM class: Brenda, Jason, Daniel.
If your name is not listed above, and you can do Swift coding on a Mac using Xcode, let me know right away.

This video is about 75 minutes long. Watch the video and write me one page telling me what the movie is about that proves you watched the entire video from beginning to end and you understand it. You cannot receive extra credit unless you also complete all the other assignments.
