CS 1025 01 - Week #10 (Mar 24-26)

Tuesday, March 24th

  1. Watch the first 14 to 16 seconds of Flo Rida's Club Can't Handle Me YouTube video.

    There is a connection to be made via creative brain storming to the Ghostbusters movie lessons and scenes.
    Discuss and try to discover/guess/make it. Step Up!

    Note: Elliptical #1 exercise song superb! :-) Roller blading? Biking?

  2. Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz and Dr. Egon Spengler and VET (Very Effective Thinking).

    Pete, Ray and Egon - Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, and Harold Ramis. 

    1. Venkman - Understand it (WHAT), then    Your first concern is WHAT
   
2. Stantz - Plan it (HOW), then            Your second concern is HOW 
                                                               to solve it.
3. Spengler - Code it in NetLOGO.          Your last and final concern
                                                        is the coding in
                                                                   NetLOGO.

  3. Dr. Peter Venkman and Ghostbusters: Scene Three lessons and quote. 

        1.  Understand the problem:  Dr. Peter Venkman   FOCUS on WHAT...

        i. What is given?  What do you know?   What is the input?

       ii. What is the goal?  Or what is the unknown?
           What is it we need to find?

        Let's not rush things.  We don't even know WHAT you have here yet.

           (What Dr. Peter Venkman says as the Ghostbusters arrive at 
            the NYC Public Library in scene III of the movie).

    When you finish with Phase I of the problem solving process, you
    will have answers to the WHAT questions.

    1. Ghostbusters and problem solving.

    2. Waggle Dancing Bees and problem solving/brain storming/choosing.

  4. GB, PW, DWW - From STEM to STEAM: fixed mind-sets versus growth mind-sets and Ghostbusters/Dances With Wolves connections.
    This was handed out in class today - STEM TO STEAM handout.

Thursday, March 26th

  1. Monte Carlo resources and examples.

  2. More Monte Carlo dart tossing resources.

  3. ASSIGNMENT: Monte Carlo homework... Due on Tuesday, April 7th.
