  • CS150 week4-Logic Break and Crash

    Introduction
    ~context~
    (​Logic and Scripts)

    In this week, we are beginning JavaScript by working from an existing template rather than starting from scratch. Using a template lets us focus on understanding how JavaScript behaves, how changes affect the program, and how different parts of the code work together. Babylon.js gives us immediate visual feedback, which makes testing and experimentation easier. By adjusting values, adding objects, and breaking things on purpose, we can quickly see the results of our ideas. This approach helps build confidence with JavaScript through hands-on exploration, not memorization.Sample text. Click to select the Text Element.

    Substack  Post Exploration

    1.​Explore, Summarize, and Submit
    Choose an Article: Visit one of the following Substacks and select an article that resonates with you:

    Final Project

    Here you will choose a final project that can highlight your skills in collaboration, imagination, teamwork, and technology.

    P2P Gamification 
    (Legions and Realms AR/VR Worlds)

    This is a P2P (Pathways to Pipelines) course. That means your learning is supported by optional game-based experiences tied to the course, including virtual, AR, and real-world activities such as scavenger hunts, clues, and community challenges.​ These activities are designed to increase engagement while offering additional opportunities to apply course concepts and extend critical thinking beyond the core subject matter. Most P2P details are intentionally discovery-based. The full rules, game systems, and the “worlds” where you can earn units are yours to explore through the Discord community. Ask questions, follow leads, and collaborate with others as you uncover how everything works. If you are not sure what “units” are, that is expected. In P2P, curiosity is part of the design. Treat that question as your first quest.

    PIPELINE  CONTRACTS:
    During pipelines, contracts may be established between students and instructor(s) for units, work orders, or other agreements in which units are earned as compensation or applied toward assignments. This introduces another quest: discover more by asking around about the P2P Marketplace.

    Contracts are essential when working in a group to ensure that those who complete their assigned tasks are protected. Not sure how to create a contract? Congratulations, your next step is to check your Discord for guidance!

    Remember: these items grant abilities beyond the intended scope of the course, which is why discovery and exploration are left up to you.

    QUIZ BY CONTRACT:

    Quizzes are contingent on Discord participation and peer support. If students actively help others on Discord when needed, quizzes will be waived and the quiz points will be automatically credited to the overall course score. If students are not willing to support one another when needed, quizzes will be reinstated and administered once per week.To activate the quiz-waiver option, students must present it to the professor as a simple contract agreement. Only approved contracts are valid.

    The Final Project

    The Final Project is an individual assignment by default. It is your chance to show creativity, make your own design choices, and demonstrate what you can build.
    You may choose to complete the Final Project as part of a group, but only if the group is formally organized. 

    If you choose group work, these rules apply:
    Group formation: You choose the group size and members.
    Group lead required: Your group must appoint a lead (the lead may be a non-student). The lead sets participation requirements and assigns tasks.
    Member responsibilities: Each member is responsible for completing their assigned work as defined by the lead.
    Accountability: If a member does not complete their tasks, the lead may remove them from the group.
     
    If you are removed from a group, you may: Continue the Final Project individually, or
    Join another group (if that group accepts you).
     
    Contract requirement: A Final Project becomes a group project only if the group submits a simple written contract that lists members, the group lead, and expectations.

    Gatekeeper role during the Final Project: During this phase, the professor becomes the gatekeeper. The professor will maintain presence and verify standards, but will not serve as the source of answers. At this point, learners should operate in independent study mode, using resources, peers, and problem-solving to move forward.

    Introduction
    ~context~

    (
    Excel & VBA)


    What Is VBA?

    The acronym VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications.  This is
    essentially an offshoot of the Visual Basic computer language that Microsoft
    created way back in the ’90s, allowing Microsoft programs to communicate with
    each other based on events or actions within those programs.  This
    language is used in Office programs like Excel and PowerPoint and in programs
    like NotePad and Paint.  Since Microsoft created this language to go along
    with its own applications, it is very user intuitive. 

    Why should I care about learning it?

    “I didn’t realize Excel could do that” is a regular comment I hear
    during Excel training, and training is a great method to learn what Excel can
    accomplish (beyond what we are currently using in our work environments).
    Excel VBA has always been a bit of a mystery to me, and why should I add it to
    my list of Excel talents if I don’t know what it is? This is a very basic Excel
    VBA tutorial.

    What is the purpose of Excel VBA?

    VBA is a programming language for Excel that allows you to program jobs and
    actions as well as add new functions to Excel spreadsheets that are tailored to
    your specific needs. VBA is helpful for automating operations and saving time
    by repeating previously programmed actions. As a result, you won’t have to
    start from the beginning every time.
    If you’re an intermediate user, for example, you can utilize macros instead of
    VBA. Understanding and using VBA, on the other hand, allows you to set up Excel
    to respond to commands that are too sophisticated to be put in a macro. In this
    case, VBA is best suited to Excel’s more skilled users.
    VBA’s applications in the workplace

    For those who know how to use VBA, it can make things easier for those of us
    who are still learning.
    Automating procedures – for example, a monthly summary report can be set up in
    VBA – so that you can push a button and the report is generated (complete with
    all the necessary activities).

    Speeding up work by automating repetitive operations with VBA macros – if you
    find yourself repeating the same action across multiple Excel workbooks,
    consider how VBA can save you much time by automating the action.

    Customize Excel so that it can be used by everybody in the company. If you’re
    new to VBA, like me, it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone set up commands
    and functions, so I can get on with my work. Whether a staff member uses Excel
    frequently or occasionally, VBA is essential for everyone in the organization
    to speed up work and eliminate inaccuracies.

    In this assignment, we will be learning VBA in Excel by creating the Cave Game.
    This project will teach you a great deal about the subjects we have learned up
    to this point in the course, formatting, formulas, charts, and many other
    subjects we covered in the course. After completing this assignment, you will
    have a better grasp of the possibilities presented Excel and VBA.
