Explanation
- Grades for classroom performance
Classroom
performance shall receive two grades. One grade shall indicate
performance
while you are present in the course. This grade shall reflect your
preparedness, activity in the course, willingness to take part.
The
second grade shall reflect unexcused absence and shall be entered on
the spread
sheet as a zero. Since the dates of absence shall be recorded on the
computer,
the amount of time averaged at "zero" shall be directly averaged with
your classroom performance grade.
Example: 15 week
semester—Unexcused absences =12 (4 full weeks of a 3 day
per week course).
—Classroom performance grade for time
in class ==B (85) [=11 X 85 = 935]
Setting up Cyrillic on your computer
For WINDOWS
If you are using XP or VISTA, go to
>SETTINGS, >CONTROL PANEL, >REGIONAL and LANGUAGE
OPTIONS. In the drop-down menu go to >LANGUAGE and click
DETAILS. Click >ADD. In the language list find >RUSSIAN and
click >OK. When the panel closes, click OK again. You
have Cyrillic using the Russian keyboard. The screen TRAY
will now show an EN or RU.
Change the language by clicking in the tray or toggle with SHIFT +
ALT. Download the ASDF PHONETIC keyboard @ http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/russian.html
Clear
directions are given on this page. Although MAC information is
listed
below, the bottom of this page also contains information for phonetic
keyboards in the MAC operating system.
Additional information is also
available at the following two sites:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PaulGor/index_en.htm
http://zsigri.tripod.com/fontboard/cyrinst.html
The
following
web site contains down loadable fonts and keyboard drivers if you are
using something other than XP. There
are
TWO standard Russian keyboards. I recommend neither, but rather
the
so-called "phonetic" or "homophonic" keyboard. In this
layout, most
Russian letters are found where their English equivalents would
be.
This speeds typing.
