How It Works

Working for grades can be stressful and boring.  Unfortunately, the same can be true in the real world.  To properly inspire you, we'll be looking at things a little differently in CIS111-KP.

For the purposes of this class, pretend that you're living in a fancy two-bedroom apartment in the Silicon Valley.  You've just been hooked-up with a new contracting firm that is taking a chance on your budding web development skills.  

In order to successfully make the transition to the tech world and continue to enjoy the high-life, you must make enough money to cover your rent, utilities and monthly bills ... a total of $4,500.

Your contracting agent, OneEleven & Co., has promised you enough work to bring in five thousand "dollas" by Spring Break.  It is up to you to make sure that you complete the tasks on time (while following all project outlines) to ensure that you meet your budget.

Some things to keep in mind:

1.   OneEleven & Co. passes all work to the client at 11:59pm on the date required.  Your work must been sent in to OE&Co. by that time to be evaluated for pay.
2.  If you come up short for rent at the end of the term, you are able to borrow up to $500 from your parents (for a B), up to $500 from the bank (for a C) and up to $500 from the local Loan Shark (for a D).  Unfortunately, you must move home if you are any more than $1,500 away from $4,500.
3. OneEleven & Co. pays $25 each day to attend required meetings on Tuesday & Thursdays.
4. OneEleven & Co. provides free workshops each week (called labs) where you can practice your skills and compare techniques with colleagues.  

Work hard, do your best, and enjoy the term!
