Monitoring interval #2

The second monitoring interval for the fall 15-week term ends Wednesday, October 3rd. The registrar's office will be printing and mailing alert letters later in the week. Students who are irregular in attendance, stopped coming to class altogether, fail assignments, and/or neglect to submit assignments will be reported as such and notified that they are in danger of failing this course.

NOTE: MANY students are in arrears with respect to submitting their deliverables. Half the class has not sent in either of the two labs assigned to date!

Lab assignment #2 - temp1.bas

Problem Description

Input a temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit and find the corresponding temperature in degrees Celsius. Use the formula

Homework 2 - bmi.bas

Write a program called bmi.bas which will allow users to input their height and weight and which will use those values to calculate their Body Mass Index.

Timestamps

This is a high priority reminder.

I informed the class that I check timestamps on all emails. While reviewing lab assignment submissions, I noted that a student sent me an email with a timestamp right in the middle of our class meeting. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Use of LOCATE

Also during last week's class, I introduced use of the LOCATE command.

Use of COLOR

Last class, I went over some formatting options for your output. One item I revisited was using COLOR to change the font color in your output window.

Public service announcement

To answer the many emails I have received...

No, there was no homework assigned last week.
