My name is Mr. Eliot. I was a teacher at El Dorado High School for 18 years, and now I work at Yorba Linda High School. I teach Computer Programming, Animation, and Mobile App Development and Design.
(1) Thank you all for your patience with the delay in getting back your Create Task assignments. There was an issue that I was discussing with some other AP Teachers online and the College Board, which required that I wait much longer than I wanted before returning those scores. If you have any questions, please email me.
(2) Final project scores are also posted. Thank you all for putting so much effort into these final projects for the class. I enjoyed grading and running this wide variety of great projects on my Android tablet at home.
(3) Final grades are posted on Aeries, and comments on each assignment are available on my website. If you have any questions, please email me.
Have a great summer, and thanks for your hard work and patience as I finalized grades.
Intro to Mobile Game students. Thank you all for doing such a great job on your final game projects, and for being such a great class all year. Your final projects were graded yesterday, and I enjoyed playing many of the games. Your final grade is now on Aeries. If you have any questions about grades, please email me directly.
A reminder that final grades are not adjusted because the student was “close” to the next higher grade. As the course info packet from August 2021 states:
“No grade adjustments are made for students who are “close” to a particular grade. So an 89.99% grade is a B+ grade, and will not be “rounded up” to an A- grade. Grades reflect mastery of course content, not the effort expended by the student during the final few weeks of class. Plan ahead, track your grade closely, and work in advance to earn the grade you desire.“
Beyond this statement, I have scaled every quiz this year, I have scaled the semester final, and I have provided an extra credit project each semester to assist students in reaching the next higher grade. In short, I have done my part to assist every student in “moving up” to the next higher grade.
Thank you for all of your hard work in this class…
Attached is a PowerPoint which discusses all of the computer related classes YLHS will offer in the fall of 2022. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Eliot –> deliot *at* pylusd.org.
AP COMPUTER SCIENCE A: The Semester Final was scaled down from 100 to 93 to accommodate students on the border between grades. So your final semester grade is now posted.
Sorry, but emailing me about how you missed a particular grade by one or two or eight or twelve points will have no effect. I direct your attention to the course info packet which states in part, “No grade adjustments are made for students who are “close” to a particular grade. So an 89.99% grade is a B+ grade, and will not be “rounded up” to an A- grade.“ I further remind you that all five quizzes were scaled, I provided an extra credit assignment, and I scaled the final exam as previously mentioned. I have already made many fair and reasonable and positive efforts to help you reach the next higher grade.
If you find any errors or mistakes that I made on Aeries, let me know on Monday before I turn in grades that evening. Have a great three day weekend, and thank you for your hard work first semester!
AP COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES: The Semester Final was scaled down from 60 to 57 to accommodate students on the border between grades. Additionally, the “Create Practice Task” was scaled from 150 to 145 since the goal for the assignment is to practice for the “real” Create Task in March-April. . So your final semester grade is now posted.

MOBILE GAME DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN: The Semester Final was scaled down from 60 to 55.

So your final semester grade is now posted.
