From the Instructor

I will start class today with a few quick remarks about last week’s quiz.

Then … we will jump into the material found on the class schedule.

You have an assignment due tonight, and another assignment due Friday night.

Then … we will move straight into a class activity.

You have an assignment due tonight.

Hello all,

In class today we will see how what we have been learning about arrays connects to something called Ajax.

There is an assignment due tonight.

As well as an ICA.

I will start class with a few quick remarks about last week’s quiz.

Here’s the gameplan for class today.  I will start with a brief review of ICA 9 (due tonight)

Then lecture on scope. 

We will conclude class with a (paper and pencil) quiz on strings.

In class today we will cover JavaScript strings in greater detail.

Assignment 4 is due tonight.

Assignment 5 is now available (as of today)

I also will briefly talk about last week’s quiz. q7-histogram.pdf

The sole purpose of today’s class is to practice for this week’s hands on quiz.

In this class we will work through ICA 7. This ICA introduces some big ideas:

• A conditional statement inside the loop (this allows us to deal with the last iteration of the loop, or the first iteration of the loop, or any other exceptional condition inside the loop!)
• A loop that generates html.

Assignment 3 has been posted.

Our class will end with this week’s quiz.

No lecture! Just a long activity in troubleshooting and debugging. I am envisioning the students pairing up to work on the debugging tasks in this in-class-activity.

This was previously an “assignment” but I have rebranded it as an ICA as I found that most students were able to do it all in class.

I think one or two of the debugging steps is particularly evil.  Rest assured, I will give you all guidance.

And.. for the record… *I KNOW* that JavaScript supports exponentiation with Math.pow. I didn’t use that, on purpose, because I wanted to have a function with a loop in it, and the power() function was all I could think of.

Agenda for class today is simple… 

1. Super quick review of quiz 3 (we were supposed to have that last class, but hey, it snowed)
2. Presentation on JavaScript Loops (some of that might dribble into next week)
3. Quiz 4

See you soon.

Hello all – 

Here’s an agenda for class today:

1. An observation from the last ICA we did together
2. A reminder that you have assignment 2 due soon
3. An in-class activity (see the class schedule)
4. A brief review of last week’s quiz (overall good class performance there)

If you need to follow along remotely, via zoom, you’ll be relieved to know that the activity can be done on your own computers (and there’s no pencil/paper to this activity.)

*However* I will not record or screen share the quiz review.  That’s a deliberate choice on my part.

Friendly reminder: you will have a quiz next class.  The focus of the quiz will be on functions and conditional statements.
