Spring 2024 Students: Please note the following: [Updated: 1/10/24]
- Just-In-Time (JIT) Assignment 1 and
MINI Assignment 1 are both posted on the Homework Page
and both are due by 10PM on Monday, January 15, 2024.
Please be careful to read the submission instructions so you submit
each one properly. NOTE IN PARTICULAR that I have
again given specific instructions for the submission of your JIT 1
email. I have multiple courses, so following this requirement is very
important and useful to me. Note that the JIT 1 link and the MINI 1
link take you to the SAME file. The two assignments are directly
related, so I keep them in a single file. The JIT assignment is just
the questions you have based on the research you do for the MINI
assignment. Be sure to look this over at your earliest convenience and
contact me if you have any questions.
We will look at them in detail in Meeting 2 on 1/11/24. ALSO note
that, other than the "What is a Precis?" document (linked in the
"MINI" section of the Homework Assignments page), (which you
are encouraged to read a couple of times before class
tomorrow), we are going to provide no guidance in how to
complete this assignment. This gives us a chance to see where the
group is, as a whole, when it comes to both writing and on-line
research. Again, you are very strongly encouraged to read the "What is
a Precise?" document before Meeting 2 on 1/11/24. More information
will be provided once you get your MINI 1 feedback. ALSO ALSO note
that all of you have access to Hoover via the Readings page, so you
are expected to use Hoover as one of your 3 sources for
EACH of the 3 topics. Finally, you are certainly free
to start your research now if you wish.
- Just-In-Time (JIT) 0 is posted on
the Homework Page of the Course Website and due to Jeff by 10PM
today, Tuesday, January 9, 2024 VIA Plain Text Direct EMAIL from your
IU-assigned email account only. Brief comments in class
today. You are very strongly encouraged to carefully read and exactly
follow the formatting AND submission directions in order to receive
credit for this first, small assignment. Failure to exactly follow the
instructions for formatting and submission will result in no credit on
this and any future assignments where the directions are not followed
precisely.
- Welcome to
A111: Survey of Computers and Computing.
This website is ready for Spring 2024. All primary pages are now
available. You have to have a valid IU NetworkID AND
be officially enrolled in A111 in order to gain access to
detailed course resources like Meeting Slides/Guides, Homework
Assignments, and other such resources. If you are officially enrolled
in A111 as of today, Monday, January 8, 2024, you should be
able to access these restricted resources WHEN they
become available. For Example, the JIT 0 assignment
will be available tomorrow via the "Homework Assignments" page and
our first meeting resources for Tuesday, January 9 will be available
via the "Meeting Guides" page at approximately 9:00am
tomorrow. Students officially in the course should be able to access
both resources as they come available. You should already be able to
access the current reading assignments on the Weekly Readings page.
Other primary links will allow you access to more basic information
about the course schedule and other resources.
If you get the "Forbidden" message, it means I have not yet unlocked
that resource. HOWEVER, if you get "permission denied" or
"authorization required" it means you are not officially enrolled, or
not on my access list. If you believe you are officially enrolled and
cannot access these resources on or after 1/9/2024 please contact
me.
