  1. Computer Science Mr. Williams August 29, 2007 Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  2. Welcome • Mr. Williams • Teacher • 3D Graphics Engineering, Server Technologies • UC Berkeley and UCLA Extension, previously UC Irvine • Java • University of Phoenix online • Professional • Develop Web 3D technology using Java Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  3. Goals • Learn fundamentals and broad programming concepts, such as Object Oriented Programming. • Apply Java to real-world and practical applications. • Complement and bridge to other MCHS courses such as Video Game Development, Math and Media. • Gain insights into careers and future technologies. • Contribute to the academic goals of MCHS. • Prepare and Pass the Advanced Placement test in Computer Science. Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  4. Teacher Objectives/Metrics(my own selfish reasons) • Extend Mira Costa’s academic dominance. • High passing rate of the AP Computer Science Exam. • Challenge of stepping up from teaching University of California to Mira Costa. Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  5. Rules • All MBUSD / MCHS rules apply • No cell phones, ipods, ear-plugs, wearing of hoods or sunglasses, etc. • Remove them when bell rings. • Violation counts as tardy, even if you’re on-time. • Note: 3 tardies results in detention. • Be ready to learn • Always bring a pencil, notebook and paper. • Leave PC’s off, if they are turned off. Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  6. Rules (continued) • Be respectful, disciplined • No food or drinks in the classroom • Cheating – don’t! • Only a calculator, scratch paper, pens and/or pencils, and the test itself. • No restroom breaks during class • Except on test-days after you have turned in your test. Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  7. Emergencies • Earthquake • Get under your desk • Keep away from windows • Cover your head, use hands behind your neck. • Lockdown • Lights out, curtains closed • Fire Drill • Follow teacher, stay together • Rooms 7 – 12 assembly area is lower park lot, east side of auditorium. Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  8. Grading • Quizzes / Tests • Every 2 – 3 weeks, total 40% of grade • Mid-terms & Final • End of each term, each worth 15% of grade • Homework • Weekly/semi-weekly, • 20% of grade • Special Projects • GridWorld 25 % • 6 components to Grid World Mira Costa High School, Computer Science

  9. Scoring • Scoring on Homework / Tests / Special Projects, Mid-Terms, Final • 20% style • Appropriately commented Java code. • Descriptive variable names, correctly indented, vertically spaced Java code. • Correct English, clear and concise writing. Legible handwriting, including your own name. • 80% of score will be actual work • Grading on a curve Mira Costa High School, Computer Science
