Quarter 1 Due Dates

These assignments are due weekly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 1 - October 17-21 (Due Friday,October 21st, 2026) (5 hours)

We will be having our CyberPatriot class after school on Tuesday if you are interested.  Dates will be posted soon.  The class will be most Tuesdays, but the contests will be held on Thursday (or Friday if there is a conflict).  There is a cost.  This class is taught through Community Ed which is where you will need to sign up.  I will have the class listed soon and I will post the URL.  We will learn how to stop the hackers and keep our computers and network safe!  All OS commands and scripts will be taught in class.  Although we will be doing some coding, I will teach that as well in class.  No prior experience is required!

Inappropriate Language will not be tolerated in my classroom, which includes the lobby area, whether it is directed towards me or another student!  Last year we had a lot of problems with this from several students.  I have been told that this is just the language of kids today! Think before you talk!  Would you use this language around your parents? Grandma? At church? I will be sending messages to your parents.  Again, I know that most of you are polite and respect my rules, but the few that don't will be addressed!

• Turn these in to lrosier@eanesisd.net

• YOU MUST BE logged in with your eanes email account!!!

• Late Points will be assigned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• These assignments must have a DATE on them.  You can NOT turn in stuff that you did last year or during the summer!!!!!!!!!

• I also need to see your link for codecademy.com https://www.codecademy.com/profiles/lynnrosier (so capture the entire profile screen showing this info).

• Don't forget to put Week # and Period x on your subject line.

• Also don't forget to write a paragraph describing what you did,  and percentage or line numbers, and attach your source code or profile screen.  Do NOT just say "I learned PHP.  Write a paragraph stating precisely what you learned.  For example:  I learned about for loops, while loops, and how to call methods.

• Make sure that you turn in your code or documentation for online codecademy screen shots with a date.

• For codecademy.com or online courses, I need your profile screen (with your name on it and dated)! Other online courses MUST BE APPROVED.

(Click on the icon in the upper right.  A menu will pop up.

Choose Profile from the menu.  This is the screen that I need.

Make sure that your name is on it and the date.

Also, give me the number of hours.

For example, if you did 20% of a 25 hour course,

    .2 x 25 = 5 hours

All online courses must be MEASURABLE, and must

have a weekly amount of hours shown.  A dated certificate or dated screen shot can show me this information.  It must have your name on it and a date-time stamp!  FOR ONLINE COURSES, YOU MUST HAVE A CERTIFICATE OR dated screenshot with the amount of time!  This is NOT the amount of time you spent, it is the expected amount of time.

• I do NOT accept solutions for old contest problems!  The solutions have already been posted!

• Your course work must be MEASURABLE. (120 lines of code or 5 hours).  You can NOT take online courses that do NOT have an associated weekly time.  It must be done within the marking period.

• Your source code should have an output screen to help show what it does (along with your paragraph that you write).  You also must put your name on your source code file. You must submit your source code in a text file (NOT a doc file, etc.) 

Here is the form to sign up for the Computer Science clubs.

Remember to write a short paragraph explaining what you did (5 points). 

I will no longer be accepting solutions for old contest problems!  The solutions have already been posted!

ALSO, screenshots must have the date in the filename and must be attached, not embedded.

The screenshots must also show the URL.

ALSO,  you cannot turn in programs that were given to you in club!

• Week # on your email Subject Line and your CLASS PERIOD.

• Source Code (ASCII file (text file))

  • Output of the run.  DATA files must be included.

• Name on Source Code \\ first last

• Data file(s)   (ASCII file)

• Program Description (specifications)

• Paragraph Describing what you did

OR

• Week # on your email Subject Line and class period.

• codecademy.com profile picture

   (This must show the entire screen and be attached with dated file)

• You must also include a percentage of what you did and the hours.

• Suppose the course is 25 hours and you did from 40% to 60%.  20% of 25 hrs =  5 hours.

• You need 5 hours per week if you are doing codecademy.com.

• Paragraph Describing what you did

See examples below.

Example 1:

     I did codecademy Learn C++ and increased from 40% to 60%.

    My profile snapshot of my progress is attached.

         Click on the profile icon (upper right).

         Click on the profile menu item that pops up.

         Make sure that your name is on it.

         (if not, click on Edit Profile and enter your name)

    You need to do at least 5 hours of work per week.

    The classes are not all the same length.

    For example: (the hours may have changed)

    The Learn Java and Learn C++courses are 25 hours.

    Each week would be 5 hours / 25 hours = 1/5 = 20% per week.

    The Learn Javascript course is 20 hours.

    Each week would be 5 hours / 20 hours = 1/4 = 25% per week.

    The Learn SQL course is 8 hours.

    Each week would be 5 hours / 8 hours = 5/8 = 62.5% per week.

Example 2:

     I did USACO problems.

     My source code is attached and links to the USACO problems showing my progress is attached.

          You need around 120 lines of code.

   THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WHILE THE CONTEST IS ACTIVE.

   NO SOLUTIONS FROM INACTIVE CONTESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Example 3:

     I did some of your Python Labs in Java (or whatever language you used).

     I have attached my links to each lab or I have sent you the source code and a sample run.

          You need around 120 lines of code.

Example 4:

     I updated my Unity game.

     I added ...., made modifications to ...., etc.

     Here are my changes: 

         list of your changes.

     You need around 120 lines of code.

120 lines of code EACH WEEK!

Any grade that is over a week late will have 5 points deducted from your grade (per week), unless a medical excuse or excused absence(s).

CS 3 and Independent Study

I will need to take a grade each week.

Due by Friday evening, you will need to:

type up a summary of what you have done for the week.

It does not have to be elaborate.   You will also

need to turn in your code in an ASCII file (text file),

or snapshot of your code academy progress (show percent,

the entire screen with an icon and url showing)

An assignment turned in late by a week or more will be docked 5 points per week.

Please DO NOT give me your code in a wordprocessor, pdf, zip,

or other format.  Compilers need text files (ASCII).

There are also labs that you can complete in most

any language on my PythonHelp website.

You will email me your progress.   YOU must use your eanes account.  In the subject line please put:  

Period. ?  Week ?

Please attach the code file(s), NOT zipped or pdf or word, but in ASCII.

Any grade that is over a week late will have 5 points 

deducted, unless a medical excuse or excused absences.

THE CODE SHOULD COMPILE AND RUN eventually!

I have also set up a google classroom. 

The class code will be emailed to you soon.

Example 1:

I have worked on C++ on codecademy.com this week.

I have done lessons 1-8, which is 25%.

Please also show a completion percent ON THE SCREEN.

Example:  40% complete.

Also show your entire screen with an icon.

(profile page)

Example 2:

I have worked on my chess game.

I added code to move the Pawn, the Knight,

and the Bishop.

Here is the code for the updated project.

(and attach the code files in ASCII format)

You also must include your codecademy.com certificates (screen shot with your credentials and showing what you have completed).

(Click on the icon pic in the upper right hand corner, and then click on My Profile. ) 

Shift + Command + 4 on a mac to create a png file. 

You must be on task working on Computer Science each and every day.

Remember:

This is NOT a study period.

This is not a talk to your friends and

goof off period. 

Take advantage of this time to learn more

about computer science (especially coding).

3 MAX ON A TEAM

Each developer must do their separate parts,

and it must be documented!!!  Team members

must be in Independent Study!

PHONES

Good _________, 

As you probably know, HB 1481 was passed by the Texas State Legislature this past session, and it prohibits students from using a “personal communication device” while on property and during the school day.  This bill requires all school districts to establish disciplinary measures if this rule is violated.  

Today, _______ had his/her phone out during my class.  The first step here at WHS when a student has their phone out is for the teacher to notify parents.  If he/she has it out again, the second step in our disciplinary measures is for me to write a referral resulting in a conversation with and communication from his/her assistant principal.  Thank you in advance for your support by talking with your student about keeping his/her phone put up during the instructional day (8:50 - 4:15).  

Have a good ______,

​You may choose your own project or follow my path.

You may choose to follow my path of study or select a project(s) that

you would like to work on.  If you choose your own project, it must be

heavy on the programming.  You must also produce ALL the code that you

wrote for me.  For example, let's say you want to learn a new programming

language like C++.  Your project must contain several programs that you

write that will demonstrate your understanding of C++.  You can't just say

at the end of the grading period "Oh, I have been studying C++".   All of your

code should be saved in files and turned in as part of your project.  A list 

of requirements is shown below. 

(All code should solve a problem)

Code should compile and eventually run.  

​
