Math Quiz Grades

Math quiz is graded as follows.

If you got all 5 questions correct, and turned in the day we did it in class .... 12 points (extra credit)

If you got 3-4 questions correct ... 10 points (full credit)

If you got 1-2 questions correct ... 5 points (half credit)

If you got 0 questions correct or you did not turn in the quiz .... 0 points (no credit)


PM class did not do as well as AM class. A couple people got 12.

12 points .... 2 students
10 points .... 8 students
5 points .... 6 students
0 points .... 9 students

Most of the people who got 0 points did not take the quiz at all or did not turn it in. If you took the quiz and you got 0 points, you should think seriously about whether you belong in this class. This class is for people who have already taken algebra and geometry and are prepared to use them every day in this class.

Infinite Campus Login

There are instructions for logging in to Infinite Campus on the materials page. 

Your user name is your first initial dot last name, all lower case. For example, Susie Student would be s.student.

Your password is your birth date in mmddyy format plus your first name. For example, Susie Student might be 081502Susie.

In some cases, there may be someone else in this school with the same last name and first initial. In that case, you'll need to add a number at the end of your user name.

SVG Code Starting point

Use this code to get started using SVG:

<svg width='600' height='400' viewBox='0 0 600 400'
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
    xmlns:xlink= "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

    <!-- the clipping paths and masks will go here -->

    <defs>
    </defs>

    <!-- the shapes and stuff will go here -->

    <rect x='0' y='0' width='600' height='400' fill='beige' />

</svg>

Theobromine Molecule

Today's assignment is to draw this Theobromine (chocolate) molecule in SVG.

Draw the colored image on the left. The line diagrams on the right are just to help you understand what the atoms are. There is nothing here you don't know how to do yet.

I suggest doing it like this:

1. Create a new blank file in Brackets and name it "theobromine.svg" or "chocolate.svg".
• OR duplicate your existing benzene.svg file and rename it to theobromine.svg.
2. If starting with a new blank file, put in the SVG template, as described elsewhere on this blog. 
3. Change the width, height, and viewbox to a square of suitable size. I suggest at least 400 x 400. You could do 600 x 600, 800 x 800, or even 1000 x 1000 or 1024 x 1024.
4. Add the hexagon side first. Use the polygon vertex calculator. You'll need both spheres and lines. When the hexagon side is done, group the lines and spheres together.
5. Add the pentagon side next. Use the polygon vertex calculator. Again, you'll need to resize, rotate, and translate it until it maches up one edge of the hexagon. Put the hexagon in a group.
6. Add the extra line to make double bonds where required.
7. Add the extra atoms hanging off the hexagon and the pentagon. 
8. Make the circles blue or purple (nitrogen), red (oxygen), dark gray (carbon), and light gray (hydrogen). 
9. Note that the hydrogen circles are a little smaller. 
10. Put the entire molecule in a group so you can put another transformation on it.

Requirements:

1. The poster must have a caption that says Theobromine or Chocolate (or both). 
2. The whole molecule should be nicely centered on the poster, the caption centered, and the molecule sized to look nice with suitable margins around the edges.
3. All the spheres and lines must have the appropriate gradients.
4. Use a suitable background color if you like. 
5. The poster should be suitable for use as a scientific drawing in a textbook or on a web site. This means you should not really take artistic license such as weird backgrounds, movement, weird colors. Stick to the standard.
6. You should put your name in the poster. It should probably be in the lower left or right corner, and small. 
7. Also be sure to put a comment in the code that has your name and today's date.

Written Assignments

You can upgrade written assignments at any time by turning in a new printed copy with the old version (or versions) attached behind.

The reason for this is that we want you to have every opportunity to improve your English skills.

Web and Programming Assignments

Don't bother turning in a technical assignment if you got 80% (usually 8 points) or more on it. I can revise your grade upward, but then I'll have to assess a late penalty.

The lesson is: turn in all your technical assignments on time.
