Accessor and mutator methods.

cpsc1100 ch2

Covered 1-4.
stopped at method. section 4.
Only 9 students are there. I went over exercises but most students are bored.

Going over book example are boring. I need to engage students in more hands-on exericises. 

cpsc 1100 lab, nested loop, Youtube screencast

go over for loop print on windows

Use YouTube screencast for VisualLogic nested loop demo in class. The Youtube videos can then immediately be accessed by students. It worked well.

cpsc 1100 inner loop, outloop

for nest loop demo, I tried to print a triage tree, but wine-VisualLogic gave a running error. Later, I tried Windows, and it worked. So, wine did emulate perfectly for Windows.

Use postIt note and drawing on board to explain inner and out loops.

CPSC1100 VL lab2,

VL lab2 require WHILE loop which I have not mentioned in class. I had to go over WHILE and FOR loop before the lap.

Start video recording.

Review phone bill diagram from last class using single conditions and nest if loops

Compound conditions. Socrative.

Use compound conditions to explain the phone bill.
Smallest number example.

Students have trouble to understand place-holder variable. I explained as a "label", and labeled myself with a post-it, then looking for person with a different colored hair, and keep track of the 'label'.
