Weekly Status Report #16, Friday June 1 2007
Work Completed/Skills learned
A lot of different things happened this week. On Monday teacher gave us assignment on networking. We have to research for things that would eventually be on our test. On Tuesday we took up the assignment and came up with group name and manager. While doing the assignment I learned about different types of topology, networking and media. I also learned about modems, LAN's, WAN's and a lot of other interesting networking things. On Wednesday it was the first day we actually started working on our final project. On Thursday I was job shadowing. On Friday we had a test on Networking and Ergonomics for about 40 minutes. The rest of the class on Friday I worked on my final project.
Objectives/Future Goals/Work remaining
My future goal for next week is to finish all the programs for our final project. Currently I am working on program#2 and I am finding it difficult to do. Other then my final project I currently have no other stuff to finish. I am planning to finish program#2 this weekend since I have Visual Basic on my computer.
Challenges Faced and how they were resolved.
This week I ran into many problems. My main mistake was that I forgot to study for the test on Friday. I was not here Thursday when we did the review so I completely forgot we have a test. Since, I spend all lunch on Friday studying and the questions were not that difficult I think I did good on it. Second problem that I had this week is how to add random numbers. I tried asking my classmates for help but, none of them were working on it. So I had to spend all Friday researching on the Internet and now I think I know how to do it.

Work Completed/Skills learned
This week I only attended three days of class. On Monday it was Victoria Day and on Tuesday I went to Lorne Park spring fair. When I got back on Wednesday we had a lesson on Ergonomics. The lesson was about the Ideal Computer Workstation and Workstation exercises. Things like adjustable chairs, monitor position, brightness or darkness of the surrounding lights, noise and ventilation can all help us work more efficent and without injuries on computer. On Thursday and Friday I was finishing Lottery ticket program. Almost at the end of class on Friday I began working on animation program.
Objectives/Future Goals/Work remaining
I finish all the work I need to do. Since animation program is not important I don't have to do the second part of it. I am looking forward to learning more about ergonomics and I am going to study hard for test on Thursday.
Challenges Faced and how they were resolved.
This week I actually did not ran into many problems. The only thing that I had trouble with is calculating how long it took store to sell 200 tickets. For some reason my button for it did not work even though the code was right. But, after doing debugging I realized that I used the wrong variable for tickets.

This week I only attended three days of class. On Monday it was a PD day and on Friday I was away because I had to go to my cottage. On Tuesday TIK gave us sorting assignment and first 10 people to finish it got bonus marks. On Wednesday we started learning a new theory called ergonomics. Even though ergonomics is not a part of programming it is a big part of computers working environment. It helps people get the best of their work and don't get injured. Ergonomics first started at WW2 in order to improve and make flying more comfortable. The things that we learned concerning ergonomics were how to sit properly at a desk and typing on the keyboard and using your mouse. We also learned that an average North American child spends about 1-3 hours a day in front of the computer which increases their chance of getting back, hand/wrist injuries or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Objectives/Future Goals/Work remaining
I am looking forward to learning more about ergonomics. Since I use computer about 2-3 hours a day, I want to know more about how to use computer ergonomically correct. I really don’t want to have back pains and that’s why I use ergonomic chair. I also need to finish Lottery program.
Challenges Faced and how they were resolved.
This week I ran into many problems. On Tuesday I did not know how to do the sorting program so I had to ask TIK for help. On Wednesday and Thursday I was having trouble doing the lottery program. I used the while loop instead of for loop so, I had to change it after. Since, I missed Friday it will be hard for me to finish the Lottery program but, I will try finishing it by Wednesday.

Work completed/Skills Learned
This week was a very sad and tragic week, due to a tragic death of a very special person in our school. There were not enough people in a classroom, so we did not learn anything or did any work on Visual Basic for 2 days. On Monday we continued working on Students statistics program. On Tuesday we were introduced to the completely new aspect of coding known as Arrays. Array is a powerful date structure that stores variable date having the same date type. Array is a group of variables that is given only name. Each array is given a number instead of name which makes it easier to work with loops and other programming things. On Wednesday we worked on different arrays programs that were assigned by TIK. Thursday and Friday we had free work periods.
Objectives/Future Goals/Work remaining
I am looking forward to learning more about arrays. I completed one of the three programs required to do. I am going try and finish two other programs on a weekend or Tuesday when I come back.
Challenges Faced and how they were resolved.
This week I run into many problems with Arrays. I could not figure out how to do first array program so, I had to ask TIK and my classmates for help on numerous occasions. After my teacher and friends explained the information to me in detail, I was able to finish the program successfully. I got my TIK test back and I am really happy with my mark(92%!!).

TIK Status Report #11
Work Completed/Skills learned
On Monday we learned about Timer control and we created a stop watch program in VB. Using timer control is really effective because user can know how long have he been using the program. However, there are also limitations for timer control. Some of them include: Maximum internal is only 60 sec and intervals are not guaranteed to elapse exactly on time. On Tuesday it was a half day and we had career presentations. On Wednesday TIK gave us review exercise for the test. On Thursday we had a test on everything we learned after lesson 6. On Friday we had a lesson on new type of loop, While Loop. The While loop should be used when the number of repetitions is not known before user starts the loop.
Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
I completed all the programs that were given by TIK. All i have to finish is sin number program. I think that I did a good job on the test since, I understood most of the information on it. I am looking forward to learning more about Visual Basic and loops.
Challenges Faced/How they were resolved
This weed I had to ask a lot of questions since, I did not understood some of the information that was going to be on the test. I asked my classmates and TIK to help me with tracing and other stuff that I did not know. Then I went home and studied for about 2-3 hours and test turned out to be really easy for me. I am also having some difficulties with writing a code for SIN number program and I will ask TIK for help with it on Monday.

Work Completed/ Skills Learned
Because of long weekend, this week we only had four days of school. On Monday and Tuesday teacher gave us time to complete pizza program from last week. My group finished it on Tuesday and it worked out really well, all the stuff and buttons were working. In order to this finish the program we had to use many of the skills learned previous and incorporate all of them together. While doing the program I learned the following things: How to use group boxes and dialog boxes, how to enable the buttons in program and how to use the Form load option for all our prices. On Wednesday we had a lesson on loops and For…Next statements. On Thursday and Friday we learned how to trace programs. We used quick watches to trace the variables for many programs. The tracing charts were quite troublesome and long, and I managed to complete two out of three programs.
Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
I managed to complete most of the work given in class. This weekend I just have to finish tracing Program #7. I am going to study hard this weekend since, I want to do good on the test next week. I am looking forward to learning more about Visual Basic and its functions.

This week I ran into many problems. First I had some troubles figuring out how to use Dialog boxes but, teacher helped me. Also my group had trouble with creating pizza program and we had to ask TIK for help on numerous occasions. On Friday I did not really understood how to use quick watches and trace programs so, I had to ask TIK for help once again. With help of TIK teacher and my classmates I was able to resolve all my problems successfully.

Weekly Status Report #7, Friday March 30 2007
Work Completed/Skills Learned
This week we only had four days of class because our whole grade had to write OSSLT on Thursday. On Monday I finally finished String Application program and we had alesson on Visual Basic Operators. There are three main types of operators: arithmetic operations, logical operators, and comparison operators.We learned that these operators were essential to a program, and they would be needed to compare one variable to another, and to perform simple mathematical operations.On Tuesday and Wednesday we were working to complete Payroll application using different Visual Basic Operators .On Friday TIK teacher taught us all about Dialog boxes. We learned that these boxes were useful for the user interface, where the user interface can access an easy options box in order to change the characteristics of the program. After the lesson I added a Dialog box to my Payroll Application.
Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
Currently I have no work remaining. I finished all the programs that we were supposed to do and I am going to start working on different programs next week. I am going to study hard this weekend so, I can do good on the test next Thursday. I am also looking forward to learning more about Visual Basic and its functions.
Challenges Faced/How they were resolved
This week I did not run into many problems. I completed Payroll application and found it was very easy to do, since we already completed similar programs using IF, Else statements. At first, my only problem was that I could not figure out how to add Dialog Box to my program. After the lesson on Dialog boxes on Friday it became more clearer for me how to use it, and I added it to Payroll Application.

Work Completed/Skills Learned
This week in TIK I have learned a lot of interesting things about programming. On Monday I learned about new data types in Visual Basic, such as: Long, Single, Boolean, Byte, Date and Double. On Tuesday I learned about HSscrollBar and Tracklist. I applied these new skills in developing a Temperature Converter where we enter the Temperature in Fahrenheit and converts it in to Celsius and determines the conditions with Freezing, Cold, Comfortable, Too Hot or Boiling. On Wednesday I had completed Internet Safety assignment to help me prepare for the EGAO. On Thursday and Friday I learned about strings and 16 different string functions, I completed a chart that explains me about each different function. I also developed a program, String Tutorial, that runs ten of the string functions using the ListBox.

Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
My objectives for the upcoming week is to keep learning about different functions of VB. I won’t to create more programs involving certain types of variables, and I would like to start using functions and debugs more. I am also looking forward to learning more about string and different types of strings. I will try to repeat my notes every weekend so, I can do better on tests and quizzes.
Challenges Faced/How they were resolved
This week I did not run into many problems. I understood most of the information clearly, until different strings functions. I had some trouble creating string program but,
I asked my friends and with their help I completed it successfully. I also was not happy with my test mark( 69%) and I am going to try study harder next time.

Weekly Status Report #4, Friday March 2
Word Completed/Skills learned
This week in TIK I have learned a lot of interesting information about programming. On Monday I learned all about Software Documentation. On Tuesday I worked in class to complete four different assignments using Visual Basic. On Wednesday I learned about If...Then...Else statements. After that I started working on IF, Else, Then exercises . And on Friday teacher tough us all about the Select Case statements and gave us some exercises on them. Over the week I have learned how to create a variety of different programs using Visual Basic and how to use Software Documentation, If, Then, Else and Select Case statements.
Objectives/Future Goals/Word Remaining
My objectives for the upcoming week is to learn how to use Visual Basic better. I finished almost all exercises that TIK gave us to do, all I have to finish is just two Select Case exercises. I am also going to study and try to do good on Quiz on Thursday, since I did not do so well on the previous test. I have downloaded Visual Basic on my home computer so I can get some extra practice outside of class or finish assignments if I did not have enough time to do so in class.
Challenges Faced/How they were resolved
This week I ran into the number of problems with my programs but, with help of TIK and my classmates I could resolve them easily. On Tuesday I did not know how to do documentation for my program, since I missed Monday’s class. So, I asked TIK teacher and she explained it to me briefly. I was also facing difficulties with writing a code for some of my programs so I had to ask my friends for help.
In Conclusion it was another great week of TIK and I am looking forward to learning more about programming.

TIK Weekly Status Report#3, Friday Feb 23
Work completed/Skills learned
I have learned a lot of interesting things this week. On Monday we had a test on everything we have learned so far, it was not so difficult especially the multiple choice part. On Tuesday we learned some basic stuff about VB and did some brain problems. On Wednesday we finally started working on VISUAL BASIC!!!!. I did my first assignment, tax calculator( which was easy because we had step by step instructions). On Friday we continued working on Visual Basic assignments. I learned how to create variables, how to define them, and how to use them to obtain an answer.
Objectives/Future Goals/Work Remaining
My objective for next week is to learn how to use Visual Basic better. I want to learn more about the software and all the different functions it has and to learn how to write my own program using VB language( codes). I am looking forward to getting my first Test and Weekly Status Report marks back. I already downloaded Visual Basic on my home computer so i can get some extra practice outside of class. The first assignment i did outside the class was a web browser.
Challenges faced/How they were resolved
This week I have ran into the number of problems, but with help of my fellow classmates and TIK teacher I could resolved them easily. Some of the problems were: On Wednesday i could figure out how to include tax rate in my calculator. I made a lot of different codes but, none of them worked. So after I asked TIK teacher and with her explanation i finished the calculator. The other problem which I am doing right now is on Assignment#2. After writing all my codes, for some reason the software did not want to do what I wanted it to do, here is what it said: Conversion from string "" to type 'Single' is not valid.I will try asking some of my classmates who already finished the assignment and maybe they can help me on Monday.I also found the flowcharts on the test very difficult and hard to solve.
