Monday April 9
- Handouts
- Agenda
- Paper and Pencil Computer
- Passbacks
- Assignments and Labs (as ready).
- Announcements:
- Before you leave tonight, fill in the online Attendance (Signin) form on the course web
site.
- If you miss a class, before the next class you should go to the course web site (the URL
is in the upper left-hand corner of every handout) and review the Agenda for that class,
then contact me if you have questions. Assignments and quiz topics are listed on the
Agenda.
- If you need to make up a Quiz, or ask questions, or whatever, my office hours are time
set aside for this. These times are Mondays and Wednesdays, 4 - 6 PM, in 113 Rackham (the
classroom).
If these times do not work for you, contact me to make other arrangements.
I will not let you start a Quiz if the full half hour is not available before the start of
the Monday night (I teach that one, of course) or Wednesday night (someone else teaches
that one) class - both start a 6 PM, so 5:30 PM is as late as you can start a Quiz.
- The SET (Student Evaluation of Teaching) will be in class on Monday April 16.
- The Final Exam will be Monday, April 30, during the normal class day, time and location
(113 Rackham). The Final will be cumulative. The topics for the previous exams will be
part of the topics for the Final. There will be no other class activity that night. April
30 is also the deadline for all work that will count in the regular grade. Late work will
result in a later Change of Grade.
- On Monday April 23 the list of topics for the Final Exam will be distributed in class
and on the course web site. The new part will actually only be those topics added after
Quiz 6. For Quiz 6 and earlier, the Final Topics will simply say to see those earlier
Topics sheets. We will spend one hour in class going over the topics. As always, you can
call, come to the office hours, email, or contact me in any other way for help or
clarification. Also, the Lab that night will be some computer programming, on the Lab
computers. If you want to see if you can do this work at home, find the files
"QBasic.exe" and "QBasic.bas", copy them onto a floppy diskette, and
copy them onto your hard drive at home. Start the system by double-clicking on the exe
file.
- Many of you turn your work in with all of your work stapled together into one packet.
Please do not do this, but turn in a stapled packet for each assignment (or lab or test,
etc.) separately. I grade each assignment for all students at the same time. (This gives
me more assurance of treating everyone equally.)
- I am caught up on grading, and the online grade reports should be up to date as of 2 PM
today, April 9 (before class). the online grade reports are not produced automatically.
always note the date and time on the report. Signings do not include any for that
evening's class.
- Reminder - Lab 10 assigns posting two messages on the course computer conference, one a
response to the topic "What I would like help on," and the second can be a new
topic, or a reply to any other posting.
- More Windows basics - Windows Explorer and the hierarchical file system. Windows
Explorer is the Windows tool of choice for managing files
- Previously we used Drag 'N Drop to copy files. Today we will use Copy and Paste.
- Open Windows (NT) Explorer (Start / Programs) and change its options to show all
information
- Choose menu item View / Options and then the "View" tab at the top of the
Options dialog
- Above the list box, make sure that "Show all files" is clicked
- Below the list box, make sure that "Display the full MS-DOS path in the title
bar" is checked. This refers to the title bar on the right pane of Windows Explorer.
If this is unchecked, Explorer shows only the final (lowest) folder name
- Make sure that "Hide MS_DOS file extensions for file types that are
registered" is unchecked. Otherwise, Explorer does not show the file extension for
most file names.
- Make sure that "Include description bar for right and left panes" is checked.
Otherwise, Explorer does not show you what drives and folders you are looking at.
- Click OK. This puts your choices into effect.
- Open the test floppy diskette in Windows (NT) Explorer. (Do this by clicking on the
drive icon. Click on a file, then right click on it and choose "Copy." Go to
another folder on the C: drive and right click on it, choosing "Paste" (was not
available until you had something copied to the clipboard.
- This will also work with a selection of files.
- "Cut" will remove files from the original location, after they are pasted into
the new location
- "Cut" can also work with Drag 'N Drop by holding down the <Alt> key.
- There are keyboard alternatives for Copy/Cut and Paste. <Ctrl>c and
<Shift><Insert>do copy, <Ctrl>x and <Ctrl><Delete> do Cut,
and <Ctrl>v and <Ctrl><Insert> do paste.
- Paper and Pencil Computer - go to handout
Lab 12.
In New Perspectives On Microsoft Office 2000 Professional, do Access Tutorial 3
on pages ACCESS 3.01 through ACCESS 3.42. The lab assignment is to continue with the file
Restaurant.mdb from Lab 10, and make the additional changes described in Tutorial 3. Turn
in the printouts similar to the figures on pages AC 3.06, 3.12, 3.14, 3.17, 3.18, 3.24,
3.29, and AC 3.37. When you are done, make a title sheet, with (a) your name, and (b) what
assignment this is (Lab 12), print out a copy of your edited file, staple the pages
together, and turn in this copy, by the start of the next class.
