3.2 Assignments, Quizzes, and Lab work this weekIndex

Reminder: There are now three quizzes that you need to complete on Blackboard as part of your term Quiz mark. The three Quizzes are not optional; see the Course Outline. Do all three quizzes.

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.

Review last week. Did you do everything assigned last week?
Assignment #11 HTML – tar, processes, syslog, crontab, at, mail, shell script
- The checking program has a feature to check just one of your scripts.
- The due date is extended to April 20 (last day of classes before exams).
OPTIONAL: Do Bonus Assignment #12 HTML – simple shell scripts
- The checking program has a feature to check just one of your scripts.
OPTIONAL: Do Bonus Assignment #10 HTML to improve your Midterm #2 score.
- This affects only your Midterm #2 score, not your Assignment score.
- There is a checking program available to check your file format for this bonus assignment, but only people who Read All These Words will know about it. Wrong file format means no marks. Do not redirect or save the output of this checking program!

3.3 Upcoming tests and examsIndex

This course has two midterm tests (10%, 15%) and one final exam (40%).

Bring your favourite marker to your test

Put these dates below into your phone!
Read the Test Instructions (all the words) before your tests and exam.
Use the Algonquin Registered Name Game link in the Test Instructions to confirm the spelling of your name before the test.
I don’t answer questions about the instructions during the test. Ask me in a lab period before the test.

4 Notes from the ClassroomIndex

Some time this week I’ll look at the Practice Tests and Answers related to the Final Exam. You can bring your questions to your lab periods and I’ll go over them with you.
Take notes in class! Keep a pad open on your desk.
Don’t forget to finish your five Blackboard quiz attempts for each of the Midterm 1 and Midterm 2 quizzes. There is a third quiz available to prepare for the Final Exam. Do five attempts in all three quizzes.
Nobody should have any files larger than 1MB in their CLS account. If you have uploaded an image that is larger than 1MB, you should make it smaller using the convert command directions given in the Student Web Site page from Assignment #09.

4.1 Commands UsedIndex

Keep a notebook with a List of Commands in it.

You need to write down yourself what each command does.

Check the updated list of commands each week.

I will check for this list in your lab periods.

Bring your notes to class! Stop wasting time looking up commands.
