Subject: Due Wednesday-Test 1 redo/review and Ghostbuster's 6 questions

Hi 021 students,

    http://cns2.uni.edu/~jacobson/c021.html

    has a link to the HW that is due on Wednesday at 9 am.  You received
    this as a handout today and last Wednesday.

       HW:  http://cns2.uni.edu/~jacobson/021/GB/PolyaElbow.htm

    Ghostbuster's and Problem Solving Questions and some of them
    require the Peter Elbow handout and the ghost.txt handout.

    Monday's class should give you plenty of background for any of the
    concepts you have trouble with on this homework.  I will also show
    a few scenes from Ghostbusters and Dances With Wolves, especially
    the scene from Ghostbusters that there is a question about.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3. What do the floating books in scene one of Ghostbusters have to do
       with writing a term paper or writing a program or creating a painting or
       composing a song or problem solving in general?  Read the ghost.txt
       handout or web page and discuss their meaning.  Do you agree with my
      interpretation or disagree?  Does it make sense?

    You may turn in either on Monday or on Wednesday your first exam.
                                                     ---------------
    Stapled or paper-clipped to it will be the improved and corrected
    answers to

     a.  any questions that you missed on Exam One, and

     b.  any questions you could now answer better or a different way,
         even if you got full credit on them the first time.

     c.  the complete HTML solution should be included, for the
         HTML problem that you did, but make that page have
         different numbers than the default arabic 1, 2, 3, 4, ... style
         for OL LI List Items and/or have different bullets than the
         default UL LI style of round, black circle bullets.

     d.  a different LINK and VLINK and TEXT and BGCOLOR so that the
         web page has a unique set of colors that blend together well,
         but with enough contrast between the;

           BGCOLOR   and the    VLINK
                                 LINK and
                                 TEXT colors so that they are readable!

                                                     ---------------
    A.  You may turn in either on Monday or on Wednesday your first exam.
                                                     ---------------
    B.  Stapled or paper-clipped to it will be the improved, corrected answers
                                                         as specified above:
    YOU MUST TURN IN BOTH items A. and B.
                     ----       --     --

    I will be giving out an assignment that is either due on Friday
    or due the day of the final exam.  It will be sort of a take home
    test activity.  The good news is that we will NOT have an in-class
    test three!  :-)                              ---

    The task of going over and resubmitting Test One with the
    additional pages attached will be enough review of the
    earlier part of the course activity.

    The latter part of the course will focus on problem solving and
    the Ghostbuster's movie as a metaphor for it.
