| Your special guest professor, the Edge... |
| HOWEVER, students, don't get your hopes up. Your regular teacher, Professor Butz, should return sometime in the next week after he's recovered from his surgery....*Note: Professor Butz resigned this morning...I guess you're stuck with Professor the Edge. Just don't harass him. He's a busy man. Thank You and Good Day. |
| Here are some VERY important class prerequisite questions: 1) Why did you choose ESL's Computer Science course? 2) What do you hope to accomplish in class this semester? 3) Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 4) How do you think the skills you learn in this class will figure into your plans? 5) If you know absolutely nothing about cyberspace and computer sciences, how did you end up here??? Hmm????.......Answer me that one......I'm WAITING....... 6) WHAT is the air speed velocity of a sparrow?....oh wait, wrong movie... 7) Are you ready to devote your entire existence to our Evil Genius Leader? If not, that's okay. We'll take EGs and Edgers anyway we can get them. |
| At Any Rate, Welcome to Your Friendly Neighbourhood ESL Computer Sciences Class. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. Do not feed the animals, especially the squirrels and barred owls. And no kicking the seat in front of you. |
| Getting Started... |
| For some background on computers and early prototypes, take a field trip to The Obsolete Computer Museum. We'll wait for you to return... |
| Still too complicated for ya? Try I.T. (information technologies) Dr. Seuss style... |
| PPL is a must-read for EGs-in-training... |
| Here is your list of vocabulary words to learn for the semester. Good luck. |
| Your list of OP Codes to learn for the semester. God bless us everyone. |
| Your ESL Computer Sciences class song, Another Glitch In the Call. We will sing it often, so get it down! |
| You will be assigned to one of nine different user groups for the entire semester. Which one do you fall in??? |
| Here is your Computer Problem Report Form. You will get to know it well. Everytime you crash your PC, you must submit this to me. So, pay attention and don't muck around, and I won't have to bust any skulls... |
| Rules and Regulations: These are sure-fire ways to get expelled from the class. Go with the flow and no one gets hurt. You do not want to see our EGL Edge angry. You SAW what he did to that Rickenbacker... |
| Grad School!!! (If you made it this far, you're lying...OR the Edge) |
| *note: These links lead to pages that were not created by fellow Edgers. But they could be, so don't discount anything, right? |
