Weak Sixteen: Status Report

This week we recieved word about our final summative project for this course. For our final summative project, we are placed into teams consisting of three members, and then we are given a booklet which lines out what the project consists of. The booklet consists of 10 challenges; each having different amounts of points being awarded to completeing each challenge. Each team's goal is to collect 100 points from doing the programming challenges. Therefor, an example of this is to complete two 30 point challenges, one 10 point challenge, and two 15 point challenges; this is in order to account for the 100 points that are needed. The easier challenges have less points, where as the more difficult challenges have higher amounts of points.

Currently, I am working on a challenge which has the programming concepts of rounding, selecting and time conversion; all based around the theme of a Bell Canada long distance phone bill. On Friday, we had a short quiz on ergonomics and networking.
