  • Mr. Bui is in the process of closing out 3rd Quarter grades
  • There are updates and announcements coming soon from the IBO...stay tuned (and stay healthy)

Tuesday - Friday (3/17/20 - 3/20/20) : Self-distancing : Week 1

  • 3rd Quarter ends Friday (3/20/20)
    • If you do not submit your Final Internal Assessment, then you will receive an Incomplete for the 3rd quarter
    • The Cryptocurrency Case Study Slide will be credited for both the 3rd and 4th quarters. Not turning it in will yield a zero grade also for both 3rd and 4th quarters.
    • All IB CS 2 grades are currently being entered for the 3rd quarter, so if you check and notice a grade is incorrect, then please e-mail Mr. Bui
    • Recheck your IB CS 2 grade daily because Mr. Bui is updating it right now.
    • If you wish to update a grade b/c you needed to complete a missing/late assignment, then please e-mail Mr. Bui
    • No work for 3rd Quarter will be accepted after Friday (3/20/20)
  • 4th quarter schedule of assignments will be posted soon (after Mr. Bui finishes closing out 3rd quarter grades)

Monday (3/16/20) : Self-distancing : Week 1

  • All students are still expected to have submitted their Final Internal Assessments to Canvas
  • All students are still expected to complete the Case Study Slide Assignment (see previous date below) and submit it to Canvas
  • Mr. Bui is developing a weekly schedule of review tasks and exam preparation. A complete schedule should be posted by Tuesday (3/17/20) morning
  • Mr. Bui is also developing a question-answer workflow so that students can ask general and specific questions. The workflow will look something like this:
    • General questions should be posted in the Canvas Discussion area; however, the student should check if any existing discussion threads already answer their question. If not, then a new thread should be created for their question
    • Specific questions about student code will require students to take a screenshot of their own code and message it to Mr. Bui. The Canvas messaging system will likely be used for this because Mr. Bui does not want his inbox to be flooded
  • If you have a questions, please feel free to e-mail Mr. Bui or create a Discussion thread. Please note that if you e-mail a question, and it's a good question, then Mr. Bui may create a thread himself to repost and answer your question
  • Please note: Mr. & Mrs. Bui have their own children at home with them, so do not expect immediate responses.
