Reminder: There are now three quizzes that you need to complete on Brightspace as part of your term Quiz mark. The Quizzes are not optional; see Quizzes and Tests.
Check the due date for each assignment and put a reminder in your agenda, calendar, and digital assistant. Just like in the Real World, not all due dates are on the same days or at the same times.
This course had two midterm tests (10%, 15%) and will have one final exam (40%).
Follow this link to see all your upcoming Quizzes and Tests. The dates are also posted on the Course Home Page and on Brightspace CST8207.
For full marks, read the Test Instructions (all the words) before your midterm tests.
There is no group work in this course.
Because of the large number of students who shared, copied, and worked together on scripts in previous terms and who were all charged with Academic Dishonesty during Exam Week, you must now declare that you are the sole author of your scripts. You must write all your own scripts.
You must type the text from the Academic Honesty Declaration into the end (bottom) of every script you write in this course. See Assignment #12 HTML for the details.
If any of your scripts is found to have text in common with any other people, you will be charged with Academic Dishonesty (AA18) or Plagiarism (AA20) in the middle of your Exam Week, and your course marks may be delayed and downgraded. An Academic Discipline hearing is highly disruptive to your Exam Week. Do your own assignments; do not work together or copy from another student or from the Internet.
Take notes in class! Keep a pad open on your desk.
Look at the Practice Tests and Answers related to the Final Exam. You can bring your questions to your lab periods and your instructor will go over them with you.
Check your EMail, especially when creating CRON jobs. One student had generated over 2,600 email messages (one per minute) using a CRON job that failed. (I deleted the job.)
Don’t forget to finish your five Brightspace quiz attempts for each of the Midterm 1 and Midterm 2 quizzes. There is now a third quiz available to prepare for the Final Exam. Do five attempts in all three quizzes.
