Computer Science FundamentalsCourse Introduction How to learn stuff from Mr. Kramer
Class Flow • Lecture time • I talk, you listen • I demonstrate something • raise hand for questions • Open time • Do the work I give • help each other understand • I’m wandering – raise hand or call me for help • switching back and forth – light flicker
Lecture Protocol(Rules) • Raise hand to speak • You need to hear what I say (duh) • You can say almost anything • quiet explaining to neighbors is ok • No food or drink • liquids + computers = broken computers • food + computers = insects!
Protocol cont. • Appropriate use of computers • only with permission • PCs don’t belong to us • High Expectations • not much homework • I say what you need to know • your job to know it • questions are good
Even more Protocol • bathroom/locker/office/nurse/sports • don’t ask • just walk up with your filled-out agenda • I can sign it quick without breaking flow • Late work • Tests/Quizzes - Plan ahead if you can • HW – by end of marking period. 70% max. • Give an excuse AFTER giving me the work
Protocol Enforcement • You get a warning • Maybe 2 – good intentions • Then a demerit • Then I get creative
Behavior:Poopy vs. Awesome • Maturity & Determination • Explorations of the topic • new ideas • Mr. Kramer goofed - make a respectful argument • “I don’t understand because…” • Volunteer to do stuff • Helping others during open time • Selfishness & Disrespect • Breaking protocol • Meh. • Just kind of there • whiny, annoying, kiddie stuff • “Is this gonna be on the test?” • anything about grades • not raising hand • distracting others
