There has been a lot of discussion and changes around the grading system
used at RRHS. Since DE is a project-based course, I will continue
using a 1-4 grading system and grading rubrics for projects and parts of
projects. This fits much better for the types of assignments that we
do than the more traditional system. The "product" that students
produce lends itself better to grading on rubrics than a standard
%correct. Our curriculum (Project Lead the Way) provides rubrics for
many of the assignments students are given. Please let me know if you
have any questions about this or any concerns on your grades.
We have gone through simplifying Boolean expressions via several means: Boolean algebra, truth tables, and DeMorgan's Theorems. We will not implement those theoretical expressions by building circuits on a breadboard that perform the logic expression. Critical skills are being able to implement a plan (I've compared it to driving from one point to another compared to how that trip appears on a map) and troubleshoot. These circuits are comparatively simple. Yet, students will be challenged to determine why theirs does not work as designed. Following a systematic problem-solving process and master of new troubleshooting tools (mainly the logic probe) will make this process more successful.
