April 12th 2016 Lesson Notes

What are we going to learn today? We are going to beat you over the head with functions until you can write them in your sleep Everyone will be required to submit an answer to a question on our class wiki, and hopefully start coding. Standards we are covering today Click here for all our standards Apply analysis, design, and implementation techniques to solve problems (e.g., use one or more software lifecycle models). Describe a software development process used to solve software problems (e.g., design, coding, testing, verification).	What is the actual plan? Our programming review is very simple. We will be focusing on functions We will then work on our design project
Is this graded? Students will receive a formative assessment for their problem set work. Please click here to see how you will be graded
What is your homework and when is it due ? We must work on our design project. Everyone is required to respond to Mr. MacKenty's feedback on the discussion page for your project. This homework is due at the start of our next class.	As a computer scientist, you have These are the characteristics every computer scientist works towards. Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
