Monday, September 16th
Classwork
We will begin class by having each pair write on the whiteboard at the front of the room which Altair 8800 instruction they plan to introduce with their program.
Using that information, we will devise a presentation schedule for the remainder of the week, with two presentations today and three presentations on Wednesday and Friday.
Recall that the presentation pairs for this are Caleb and Trostin, Isaac and Adonis, Akshay and Johan, Turner and Anfal, Parker and Marin, Jamethiel and Luis, Cody and Anar, and Ved and Jeff.
Homework / Evaluation
If you have yet to present, be sure you are ready to on your appointed day. If you have already presented, use the presentations of your classmates to learn the new instructions they shared.
Presentatons will be evaluated using the class presentation rubric we discussed last week.
