This is the blog of a mad man that teaches IT at

Southern WV Community & Technical College.


IT147 8/30/11
IT 147 Just type something cool here other than going over the syllabus. Remember to add some sort of weird photo to get their attention. The only thing you really reminded them of is to start bringing a camera to class. They will think you know what you're doing if the blog entry is detailed enough. Yeah all of that sounds good.


IT180 8/30/11
IT 180 Met and intro'd the course. We managed to go over the syllabus, scorchedsilicon, and take a little pre-test to see what your skill level might be. For next time have your 2 daily articles ready. Just email them to me.


CS104 8/30/11
CS 104 Spent time meeting and greeting everyone. Went over the syllabus and the website. Nothing for homework today.


Welcome Back!
General News I'd like to take a quick moment and welcome everyone back to school. This semester should be a pretty good one. I've got lots of ideas for really neat in class activities. So hang on tight, the ride might get bumpy, but it will be fun!

IT275 5/6 - That's All Folks!
Globaloria

Well class finally came to an end. I will see you both on Tuesday for presentations. Everything is looking pretty good. Minor tweaking going on now. Please spend some time over the weekend filling in the fla files I gave you for presentations. All of the other schools ended up with more than a month do get theirs done. I'm hoping you both can pull it off in a few days. Remember it would be cool if you can dressed as your characters. That is an idea I really liked. See you Tues.


IT192 5/6 - Better make it count
IT 192

Looks like everyone is going to make this last program count. Everyone who showed up for class either had their work pretty much done, or stayed very late to get a lot accomplished. The final will be just like the midterm. Study guide will be out shortly, although you won't really need one considering open book open note and it is on the computer. Be ready to present your final project to the class just before we take the exam. BTW if you screw this up, you will look like the guy above. The job market is tough so you better have some skillz to show off.


IT180 5/6 - Final Chapter Exam
IT 180 Easy last day of class. Took our exam and chatted for a while about the final. Then headed to lunch early! See you guys at the final.


IT145 5/4 - Make-Up
IT 145 No new stuff today. This time is just for review and for making up work. I will allow everyone 1 make-up assignment that you can turn in next week. For those having medical excuses you can make those up +1. This helps everyone out. The final will not have a study guide. Just go over the techniques we have used since mid-term. The final is comprehensive, but if you didn't get the pre-mid-term stuff then I don't see how you could have gotten anything since then.


IT275 5/4 - Down to the wire
Globaloria Looks like we've come down to the wire. You both need to finish up your games and we will be working on a last minute layout format for the final presentation. Since all of the other students still have a month we will try and do them but worst case scenario we will just run out of time. Jeremy is doing better now that he has a functional weapon, he is just going to have to work out a few bugs and spend more time outside of class working on things. Allison is coming right along having 3 levels now. Presentations will be next week so have wiki's updated and final blog posts in. See you Thursday for final touch-ups.


IT192 5/4 - The Program Rolls On
IT 192

Some mad work going into these projects. Looks like you better spend a little more time to polish them off. Getting down to the home stretch. Review on Thursday.


IT180 5/4
IT 180 Finished up any remains of the last chapter in the book. Worked on several machines that were left over from the computer tune up day.We will have the exam for the last chapters on Thursday.
