Ahh the sadness of the macintosh

[Melissa H.]

Will there be a default program with the edubot? (If this makes any sense...)

[rbayer]

yes, and its already posted if you want to take a look:

Actually, I'm sitting in my CSci class right now, but I don't really feel like listening, so I'm responding here.

Uh, this may seem dumb, but remember I'm a ninth grader So, how did you log in from a class?

[Melissa H.]

I'm assuming CSci = Computer Science. . .

[Melissa H.]

Sorry about my prior statement being a little random...but maybe that's how you can log in from class...Computer Science class...possibly? ( I was wondering the same thing...)

[rbayer]

My laptop has a .11b card and the U of MN has a wireless network. Given that I'm sitting smack dab in the middle of 2.5 hour lecture right now, my wireless card saves my sanity.

Also, some of my classes are actually in computer labs, so sometimes I just use the computer sitting in front of me.

(In case you're even more confused now, I am still a high-school senior, I just take most of my classes at the U)

[Melissa H.]

How many classes is "most of my classes"?!? (Sorry if this is way off topic...)

[rbayer]

3 of the 4.

I take spanish at my high school, and physics, computer science, and Modern Fiction at the U.

Next semester it will be all 4: math, physics, computer science, another computer science.

[Melissa H.]

(Sorry again...off topic) Two Computer Science classes?

[rbayer]

Yes.

1. "Discrete Structures of Computer Science"--its actually more math than CSci, but it's still considered a CSci class.
2. "Machine Architecture and Organization"--basically assembly and OS design.

Other than that:
3. Calc IV
4. Calc-based physics II--electricity and magnetism

How is your school system set up?

We are required to take core courses (English, Government, Math, Science) our senior year.

[rbayer]

We just have requirements that we have to do at some point during grades 9-12. I managed to finish everything by halfway though my Junior year, so I basically get to do whatever I want.

Our school's set up like that too...only we have too many requirements to get through before we can even consider taking the classes we want...<sigh> There goes computer programming, CAD, and computer science...not to mention computer applications.... for this year...and next year...and possibly even the year after.
