I Will Be Out The Rest Of The Week

Posted on by

Sorry everyone! I’d rather be at school than home sick this week. I took COVID tests on Monday and Tuesday, both of which came up negative. Then I took one on Wednesday, which came up positive. So I will be out the rest of the week with COVID.


AP COMP SCI A
Continue working on ICT Lesson 10. Continue to use the Pseudocode to help you. You will have two full periods after Thanksgiving break before the assignment is due. Keep making progress. When we get back on the Monday after Thanksgiving, I will discuss the things I planned on discussing Friday.


AP COMP SCI PRINCIPLES
You should at least complete through Unit 5.4. When we get back after Thanksgiving I will discuss Procedures with parameters, searching, and “reasonable time”.Also, Android tablets will likely not be available. Use the emulator or your personal phone.


INTRO MOBILE GAME
We will discuss adding touch controls for Android after Thanksgiving. Please keep working on your levels for the 2D platformer. Make sure you are checking the directions for the assignment as you work.


ADVANCED MOBILE GAME
Jay, keep working on your project. Make sure you are doing your daily journal entries.

Special Note to 3rd period APCS-P

(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 Development Second Semester Grades

Posted on by

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.

Have a great summer. –Mr. Eliot

Semester 02 Grades for AP Classes

Posted on by

FOR ALL AP CLASSES:

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…

Sincerely,
Mr. Eliot
