Week 2

*week2_mon* - *week2_fri*

Hello Everyone,

Some of you are just getting acquainted with the course material, other are devouring the course content and looking for more. I'm going to open up the entire class content now instead of time releasing it as I have in previous quarters. If you want to race towards the end, go for it, but don't hurt yourself.

Testing Policy

Although it is probably best to try to keep a weekly pace with the material, I don't insist that you complete the tests in a super strict timeline. One of the great features of distance learning in this form is that is adaptable to your time schedule. From now on, each week will have at least one Test with the exception of week 11 when there's a slight breather. If some weeks you are busy with something else, you can submit your tests a few days late with no penalty. "A few days late" is OK, "a few weeks late" is not OK.

Honesty is the best policy

How the Tests work

The real tests are found in the Quizzes section. There are 13 tests, 2 midterms and a final exam. Your scores on those tests will determine your grade.

those other Javascript quizzes!

There are several javascript quizzes that are posted in the Quizzes area. They are for your practice, I recommend that you take them before you take the real tests to assess your understanding of the material. Unfortunately there isn't a practice test for every topic but many find the ones that are listing the assignment area to be useful for practice.


What about all of those Worksheets?

I have included access to several worksheets that you can use to help study the material. These are the material that I used when I used to teach this class in a regular classroom. That was a long time ago in a prior millennium. But if you use tools such as pencils and pen you might find them useful. You can print out the worksheets then fill them in by hand. A link to the answers is posted so you can self-correct them.
