Dear Students:

Below is the Research/Thesis Requirements Checklist. The table contains the different periods, requirements and the expected date of submission. If complied, your professor checks the "complied" column and places remarks, either accepted or for minor/major revision. Failure to comply more than 50% of the checklist would not allow you for final defense on the designated date. Please take note of the major requirements required in quizzes, requirements and examination.

Dear NSA4/STOLT3 Students:

Below is the list of the laboratory exercises you need to furnish for the entire preliminary period. The list may be actual laboratory exercises or may be given as homework.

PRELIM

EXER1.XLS. Assume that a person borrows one (1) cent on January 1, 2014 and promises to pay the amount at the end of the year. However, the amount doubles every day. How much would the borrower pay at the end of the year? Show the following columns: days (1-365) and the amount in the next column.

EXER2.XLS. Reflect the following columns in order: #, Name of Student, Q1, Q2, Q3, TQ, Exam, Exam_Equiv, Grade, Grd_Equiv. The variables Q1 to Q3 are numeric values from 40 to 100. The variable EXAM is a raw score from 0 to 80. Take note of the following computation:

   TQ = (Q1 + Q2 + Q3) / 3 

   Exam_Equiv = Exam / 80 * 60 + 40

   Grade = 60% of the Exam Equiv + 40% of the TQ

   Grd_Equiv = (110 - Grade) / 10 

Fix all computations to two (2) decimal places except for GRD_EQUIV to one (1) decimal place.

Reflect at least 10 students (in alphabetical order using FAMILY NAME, FIRSTNAME MIDDLE INITIAL format).

Place a heading (e.g., DMMA COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES and its address and another heading, "NSA/STOLT GRADES - Preliminary Period) by merging the rows/columns. You may not use the above-mentioned variables names; instead, you can use any label that bears the actual value.

EXER3.XLS. Redo EXER2.XLS by reflecting alls columns (except the GRD_EQUIV variable) in four (4) worksheets. Label each sheet with PRELIM, MIDTERM, PREFINAL, and FINALS. Add another two (2) columns at the last part in FINALS SHEET the FINAL_GRD and EQUIV variables. Note the following computation:

   FINAL_GRD = 20% of Prelim + 20% of Midterm + 20% Pre-Final + 40% Final

   EQUIV = (110 - FINAL_GRD) / 10

Highlight the EQUIV column as red text for those with failing grades.

Computer Applications and Networking

Dear Students:

Welcome to the the subject, Computer Applications and Networking for the second semester, School Year 2013 - 2014. This will be an exciting endeavor as you learn the basics and advanced areas in the field of computing. Let us take this off by downloading first the computer manual needed for our prelim by clicking this link. If the link does not work, copy-paste the URL on your browser: http://www.angelfire.com/ab8/neil188000/comp1manual.doc

Please take note of the following grading system used by the subject:

Attendance = 10%

Quizzes (3 quizzes per grading period) = 15%

Laboratory exercises = 25%

Periodic examination = 50%

The final grade is computed as follows:

FINAL GRADE = 20% Prelim + 20% Midterm + 20% Pre-Final + 40% Tentative Final

The subject shall cover the following topics:

1. Introduction to Computers

2. Standard Business / Communication Letters using Microsoft Word

3. Basic Networking

4. Multimedia Editing (using PowerDirector)

5. PowerPoint

Your final project shall be the presentation of a group music video.

Should you have questions, please feel free to visit your professors at the Computer Science Department, 2/F Castaneda Building, DMMA College of Southern Philippines.

Yours truly,

DR. NORLAN B. MARTINEZ
