FIGURE DRAWING CLASS - MIDTERM Instructions / 10/27/2023
Figure Drawing class we will review this information on Tuesday but you need to read and start working on getting materials and preliminary ideas for this assignment beginning this weekend.
Take notes and bring questions to class on tuesday.
I will have a post on Tuesday regarding the in class assignment, students will work with ink , brushes, nib and Bristol on this day.
MIDTERM INSTRUCTIONS:
We can trace the history of self portraits to the early Rennaissance. 
One of the earliest examples of self portraiture is seen in the work of Sandro Botticelli. The idea of spending time analising the self was unheard of. 
It was a tradition during the Rennaissace to include the wealthy patrons or important figures of the time in paintings, specially those who commisioned the work  such as the pope or bishops of the church. 
I imagine in that setting , Botticelli must have thought well, if I include the bishop or pope why can’t I be part of it as well. 
And thus we begin to see this very important practice of self portraiture.
Tumblr media
In the painting below, by Raphael Sanzio, “The School of Athens” we see not only a portrait by Raphael, but also included ,many of his contemporaries such as D’Vinci, Michelangelo and many others. 
Tumblr media
 I have included the link from Wikipedia so students can see the artists included in the painting.
As we continue to research throughout history we find artists using their image to studythe features of the face and body.
The convenience of looking at the self for that study allowed artist to explore in depth the human character.
Below we see the portrait by another Northern Rennaisance artist Albrecht Durer and below that Baroque artist Rembrandt:

Rembrandt
In that spirit, starting on Tuesday (10/31 ) after class, students will begin working on the Midterm assignment for Homework. 
You must use time everyday to work on this methodically and regularly. 
I will provide some class time to work on this assignment begining on Thursday 11/2/23 .
Students will have a free day on Thursday and will work from home. You do not need to come to class on this day.
Primarily , this will be a homework assignment with some in class days and I will encourage students to work on it daily.
The Midterm will require for students to invest a total amount of working hours of 30 - 45 hrs. 
Understand that some of you might need more time than that. 
All work will be done using only graphite pencils on handmade Arches paper.
You will be working from a mirror, and You may use a photo for reference of the body (not the face) if you decide to do a full body portrait.  
Materials needed: 
Arches 22 x 30 , hot press, smooth surface 
(2 sheets for full body portrait. ) 
Graphite pencils 
Kneaded eraser
( I will allow some students to work with the Bristol paper, 18 x 24 . It will be on a one to one basis.)
In class we will continue to work with figure. 
On Tuesday, students will work with graphite pencils on Bristol paper ( size 18 x 24 ). 
We will continue with tonal and value assignments and will be practicing using the pencil in class.
In addition to the class time that I will provide students will need to use HW time , everyday to work on this assignment .
Students will develop a concept around the idea of self portraiture.
You will use a mirror as reference for the portrait.
You must look at yourself in the mirror as this in turn shows in the portrait as a confrontation between the artist an the audience.
Do not have the eyes looking away, you must look at yourself in the mirror.
Doing so will engage the audience/ viewer.
Create a light source so that you can give drama to the portrait.
Keep soft values , nothing in real life is complete black or complete white but rather a series of values in between.
I will be sharing videos with tips on hair, eyes, mouth etc.
If you can not see your eye lashes then you do not need to include them.
This assignment should take anywhere from 30 -45 hrs of work and for some of you even more.
Shading slowly and carefully takes the longest.
Make sure that you add elements to the portrait that tells an additional story about the self.
This can happen through the choice of clothes you choose or an instrument you hold in your hands.
Below you will find portraits from previous classes.
Notice how students in the past have incorporated details about themselves in these portraits.
Here is a quick analysis of the proportions of the face:

CSE 110 - Lab 3 Solved
Lab Topics
  Familiarization with basic data types. Using the Scanner Class with input validation. Understanding order of operations. Getting familiar with the basic flow control in Java.
Use the following Coding Guidelines
  When declaring a variable, you usually want to initialize it. Remember you cannot initialize a number with a string. Remember variable names are case sensitive. Use tabs or spaces to indent code within blocks (code surrounded by braces). This includes classes, methods, and code associated with ifs, switches and loops. Be consistent with the number of spaces or tabs that you use to indent. Use white space to make your program more readable. Use comments after the ending brace of classes, methods, and blocks to identify to which block it belongs.
Problem Description: Final Weighted Total Calculator
  Please design a program which takes 3 user inputs as homework grade, midterm exam grade, and final exam grade. Then use the following formula to calculate the weighted total:   Totalweighted = (Examfinal / 200 × 50) + (Exammidterm × 0.25) + (Homework × 0.25)   If the weighted total is greater or equal to 50 (>=50), show “Student PASSED the class”​   ​. Otherwise, show ​“Student FAILED the class”​.   Your program have to validate the input values. A homework grade and midterm exam score should be in the range . The final exam grade should be in the range . If an input is invalid, you have to let the user retry immediately until it is a valid input.   Note: To get full marks, you must use only one loop.            
Sample Output
  Sample Run 1 (The user passed the class):   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​80   Student's Weighted Total is 64.00   Student PASSED the class   Sample Run 2 (The user failed the class):   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​30   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​40   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​35   Student's Weighted Total is 26.25   Student FAILED the class     Sample Run 3 (Input validation, minimum requirement)   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​8000 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​40   Student's Weighted Total is 54.00   Student PASSED the class                
A Challenge (not required, not part of the lab grade) 
  Limit the number of chances that the user can retry to 3. It means when one input is invalid, the user will have 3 extra times to retry. If a user has retried three times consecutively and fails, the program loop should terminate immediately and show the error message: ​“You have retried 3 times, Please restart your program.”​ In total, a user can input four times in a sequence with the first three inputs invalid. The counter will be reset to 0 when an input is correct. Your program’s output messages should change according to the user input states.   Sample Run for Challengers   Enter your HOMEWORK grade:​ 100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade:​ 76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​1000 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (2 chances left): ​-1293 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (1 chances left): ​8023 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (0 chances left): ​12342314 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   You have retried 3 times. Please restart your program.    
Step 1: Get started with the header
  Create a class called Lab3. Use the same setup for setting up your class and main method as you did in previous labs and assignments. Be sure to name your file Lab3.java.   At the beginning of each programming assignment you must have a comment block with the following information:     /*------------------------------------------------------------- // AUTHOR: your name. // FILENAME: title of the source file. // SPECIFICATION: your own description of the program. // FOR: CSE 110- Lab #3 // TIME SPENT: how long it took you to complete the assignment. //-----------------------------------------------------------*/  
Step 2: Declare variables you need
          ​// This scanner is prepared for you to get inputs ​Scanner​ ​scanner​ = ​new​ ​Scanner​(​System​.​in​); ​// Declare three variables for HW, midterm, and final exam grades         ​// --> ​// Declare a loop control variable i         ​// -->   Since your program will ask the user for the homework score, midterm exam score, and final exam score. Please declare three double variables to save these input values.   In addition, you might need a variable to control your while loop. Please declare an integer i for this purpose.   You can declare extra variables if you think they are needed.            
Step 3: Use a while loop with the right condition
  ​while​ (​/* Put in the condition involving i */​) {         }   We hope the program will restart automatically when the user give you an invalid input. Intuitively, we should use a loop structure to make it restart if a certain condition is not correct. Please first make a while loop statement and one loop control variable i. Then design the loop condition you need. Refer the template file if you are not sure what to do.   Hint: It might be challenging to design such a condition sometimes. To help you think about what it should be, here is a simple logic we hope the program to follow:   Inside this while loop, the program asks three inputs from the user. If any of the three inputs is not valid, the loop will restart and let the user input that number again (for example, if the midterm grade is invalid, let the user type the midterm grade again. Do NOT ask the user start from the homework grade.) The while loop will stop when all inputs are done and valid.
Step 4: Use if-else statements to control input flow
              ​if​ (i == ​0​) { ​// Ask the user for homework grade ​// -->                 // ...             }   Inside the while loop, the program asks the user for the three grades. Since we are using only one while loop to do three inputs at the same time, we need a proper flow control to make the loop asks for the right input in different moments. To do so, please construct three if-else statements involving your loop variable i, specifically:   if i is 0, asks for the homework grade if i is 1, asks for the midterm exam grade if i is 2, asks for the final exam grade            
Step 5: Use if-else statements to validate the input values
                  ​// Do input validation ​// --> ​if​ (​/* the HW grade is not valid */​) { ​// Show the error message ​// --> } ​else​ { ​// Update the loop variable ​// -->                 }   Following Step 4, inside each if-else statement the program asks for the user input. To ensure the user gives you a valid number, you have to design another if-else statement to validate the input. For your reference, the valid ranges are   for a homework grade for a midterm exam grade for a final exam grade   Hint: You should update the loop control variable i when any of these input is valid, so as to make your program approach the terminal condition of the loop.            
Step 6: Calculate the weighted total and show the value
  double​ ​weighted_total​ = ...;   After the while loop, please calculate the weighted total by the formula provided above. The result should be saved into another variable and showed in your console.
Step 7: Show the student passed or failed
  ​if​ (​/* ... */​) { ​// Print "the student PASSED the class." } ​else​ { ​// Print "the student FAILED the class."         }   Finally, according to the weighted total, the program determines whether the user passed the class or not. Please design another if-else statement to do so. The conditions are   if the weighted total is greater than or equal to 50, show “ The student PASSED the class” Otherwise, show “ The student FAILED the class”. Read the full article

SMEs should proactively adopt Technology and Innovation
Tumblr media
Striving for continuous improvement is a success mantra Mr. T R Sriram has applied to perfection in his own life as well as to the organizations he worked for and provided services to as a consultant. Coming from a generation when shortcuts to success was a strict no-no unlike today and setbacks were truly the pillar of success, he broods very well what’s wrong with modern-day engineers, loopholes in the current educational system, and organizational laxity in management and processes.
Assessing the crisis and need to resolve it, he established Progress Consulting and Progress Institute of Management which are one of the dedicated organizations offering growth-oriented consulting services and right management and skill training among industry people respectively.
Today, Mr. T R Sriram the Founder & CEO, Progress Group, Chennai is also empanelled as a trainer by Entrepreneurial Development Institute, Govt of Tamil Nadu, Madras Management Association, Andhra Chamber of Commerce, TUV SUD and Certified Lead/ Internal Auditor for ISO 9001:2008 & IATF 16949.
But the foundation of Progress Group stands on years of experiences and insights of its founder Mr. T R Sriram and the story begins from his early days. It was his father’s advice that he should not sit idle even for a single day. He started working from the next day after getting his certificates, though it was for a few hundred rupees a month. He joined a fabrication unit in Guindy Industrial Estate, Chennai to learn that whatever he studied so far was not helpful to work in an organisation.
He started observing the processes with interest and excitement. He learned from the workers and supervisors many things which he never studied. He kept changing jobs and took up different departments.  Later at Panasonic and TVSE, he worked in different departments under job rotation.
He was regarded as a good performer, trained in new initiatives, took part in many CFT and new projects.  Though multitasking was stressful then, he believes, today he is able to withstand by virtue of the learning and strength gained at that time.
He was good in building the relationship with colleagues and suppliers, resolving pending issues, removing NVA, innovating processes etc. From 2003 onwards his focus was on strategies and management issues.  He underwent very good pieces of training that changed his attitude and helped him to overcome some of his weaknesses. He saw how external consultants brought value addition to the processes.
His employment career spanned over 18 years from 1989 to 2007 in organizations such as Schefenacker Motherson Ltd, TVS Electronics Ltd, Panasonic Home Appliances Ltd, Switzer Instruments Ltd, Nova Electro Magnetics Ltd. It was this journey which helped him develop expertise in the entire supply chain including planning, manufacturing, purchasing, quality, sales, spares, warranty management, and HR etc.
Besides, working for industry verticals such as Sheet metal Fabrication & Press parts, Plastic injection moulding, Instrumentation, Home Appliances Manufacturing (Electrical), Electronics & IT HW, and Automotive. He also gained immense process expertise in Fabrication, Press parts, Machining, Injection moulding, Electrical & Electronics, Die casting, Tool & Die making, Wiring harness, Painting, Plating, Assembly.
Even all through these employment careers it was his dream to start an own business after working for 15 years.  On the fruition of this dream he narrates, “During my employment, I had close interaction with vendors.  They shared their passions, achievements, and sacrifices.  Even after running a business for 15-20 years they could not stabilize, scale up or become wealthy.  I found most of them not happy or under a lot of stress.”
“These entrepreneurs have excellent knowledge in their chosen field say, design or manufacturing, but lacked in management, people skill, quality systems or marketing.  Much of their time is spent on daily issues and they are unable to focus on process improvements and business growth.  I used to think how can I help them?  But, I didn’t have any clue.”
So, he decided to use his experience and skills to help them grow. “Large corporates are able to engage experts as consultants.  SMEs couldn’t afford.  So I thought I will prepare myself and take it up as my career, serve SME at an affordable cost” he infers.
He left employment in 2007 and in 2008, he started ”Progress Consulting” for consulting services and “Progress Institute of Management” to provide skills required for the manufacturing industry.  In the beginning, he got consultancy projects from his close contacts and was fully occupied.
However, the initial days were as challenging as any other. Progress Institute didn’t take off as planned. He suffered a loss on rental, trainer’s salary, marketing etc. While analysing the causes of failure, Mr. Sriram realised that he did not plan well and his marketing efforts were inadequate or ineffective. Then, he put the Institute on hold for some time and started focusing on consultancy projects.
Getting consulting assignments was a challenge being a startup and without a brand image. “I registered myself with Madras Management Association and Andhra Chamber of Commerce. I started doing workshops on technical topics which are not handled by other trainers. I started upgrading my skills in management systems, LEAN, QMS, EMS & IATF standards. Our website was improved with professional look, projects done and customer’s testimonials.”
The momentum picked up, Progress Consulting started getting new projects through web-based enquiries and customer referrals. He started to specialise in Strategic Management, turn around, Project Management and Manufacturing Excellence projects for SME.
Some of the projects are the testimony to his success. It is with his brilliant guidance that an injection moulding company at Chennai was able to raise capacity utilization from 60% to 85%, increase sales from 7.5 crores to 22 crores, completed construction of two new factory units within just two years. In other instances, a small family owned HW shop transformed into a professionally managed company with HR systems, performance-based incentive, inventory, and working capital management etc. Today, it is the largest trading organization in Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu.
Besides, for a premium apparel brand in India which was struggling with quantity error, product mix up issues, throughput was increased from 25K TO 45K garments/ day with zero error and saving 30% floor space within 6 months, thanks to the consulting days. The list of success story is endless and encouraging.
As much as these projects and many other added laurels to Mr. Sriram’s illustrious journey as a consultant, He also extended insights into the challenges faced by the manufacturing industry at large. According to him, SMEs in India struggle to get a business loan from banks, due to ineffective single window systems from Govt., outdated and impractical govt. rules, the absence of a payment guarantee system, shortage of skilled manpower, entrepreneurs who are not proactively adopting technology and innovation.
He feels automation can play a major role in the growth of SMEs in performing the simultaneous repetitive or cyclic tasks much faster and error free.
ISO Certification is still another namesake proposition in India as he feels all the stakeholders in the chain dilute the purpose. He opines, “If an organisation follows the ISO requirement sincerely, sure those organisations will grow fast and steady.  Those organisations will be system driven, rather people driven.  There will be no communication gaps, documentation and record keeping will help the company at a troublesome period.”
“It will be easy to channelise contribution of all employees and achieve the objectives of the company.  Total employee involvement will become reality.”
On being asked about the current education system , he says, “First, the syllabus need frequent updates.  There should be more practical classes.  When I interviewed people who got first class, they are unable to recall what they studied 6 months or 12 months back.  Nor they could explain what they studied.  They lack the ability to think, thanks to our education system, syllabus and quality of the lecturers.”
“Second, they lack the interest to learn, patience to make trials. They don’t want to follow any system. They want to win through shortcuts. Third, this generation is weak.  Not strong enough to face criticism and lack ability to come out of failures.”
So how to achieve excellence, be it on educational level or professional and organisational levels? He states that “If you continue with what you are doing, you continue to be like that”. As a staunch practitioner of “Kaizen”,(Continuous Improvement) he feels questioning is the first step for any change,  What am I doing?  Why should I do like this? Is there any better way?  Can I still improve it? I don’t know, can I take help from someone? These questions gave birth to numerous inventions.  “If you start questioning each and everything you will start improving all around, not only productivity,” he says.
Of the new wave of entrepreneurship, he seems to be satisfied, however, he also feels that support in terms funding and policies such incubation centres are funding are still not as much available for startups in manufacturing as much as they are in technology or service sectors.
He suggests the entrepreneurs to think through every process bit by bit, write down and review again and again and there will be a time when it will be seen that a lot is improved a lot or many things are redefined.
He further stresses on the fact that planning should be detailed and spanning due time without hurry while execution should be faster.
He cherishes a grand vision for his company Progress Group which was established as a solution provider for SMEs. “By 2025, we will have the presence in the west and north Indian regions, empanel experts with regional connect and develop expertise in new avenues like Finance management, Industry 4.0.”
With his life mantra that is “Don’t accept anything as it is. There is still a better way than this”, it is only a matter of time before Mr. T R Sriram and his Progress group guide many other SMEs to the path of growth and glory.

Welcome!
Welcome to 6th Grade English Language Arts!
My Name is Mrs. Zepeda. I will be your child’s English Teacher. My background teaching is very diverse as I have previously taught K,7th,8th,9th,10th,11th grades and many college enrichment courses. I look forward to this being an educational journey that we can embark on together!  Teaching reading and writing to me, is much more than just skills for students to learn. My focus is creating rich experiences where learning  takes place. Growing up as a young child, my grandmother was an avid reader. Thus I became inundated with books and literature that spans ages and genres. My first inclination that books were relevant to my education arrived at a very early age with my first membership to a book club. I read almost everything that I could to gain knowledge about the world around me. As a young child I internalized this knowledge. What did I want to find out in my books and how would it benefit my education? I believe that is was at this time my passion and interest were leading me to my career that I have today as an English Teacher.
My philosophy of teaching is that every child should be educated and has the right to a quality education that fosters confidence, passion, challenging, and creativity. I believe that a successful educational program incorporates constructivism, authentic instruction, fosters self-efficacy, motivation, and engagement of subject material.   I am committed to making my classroom a safe and challenging environment and engaging my students through the curriculum as well as getting to know them and interacting with them one-on-one. I believe that meeting the needs of my students is a very crucial part of my classroom. I want them to be comfortable with the other students, as well as me, so that there can be meaningful discussions and interactions. I am committed to a partnership between home and school. I believe if parents are involved in their child’s school, the child will have more support at home and the parent can help with any issues that arise. I believe in involving the parents as much as possible.
My classroom has an established set of rules and procedures that are in place to be followed. This makes an optimal learning environment for all parties involved. I also think that it is imperative to adhere to whole-school rules in order to have an effective policy in the classroom as well. I always have the agenda on the board so they can copy it down in their notebook everyday as they walk in and begin the “Do Now”.This is so they can be engaged and begin working without time wasting. I will use interactive reader notebooks so students can do all homework assignments in the notebook as well as take class notes in the notebook and staple in any handouts. The purpose of this notebook is to keep all class materials in one place so when they go to study for a test, they are not looking all over for loose papers. In these notebooks, students can show their creativity in designing a cover page for each unit as well as doing free-writes or reflections to the lessons and central questions right in the notebook. There will be homework assigned every night except Fridays. The homework is to read self selected interest material and complete a reader response entry. On some occasions there may be homework given in addition to the RR entries.  I take the students to the library weekly where they can select books to utilize for this purpose.
In terms of student behavior, I strive to create an environment that is conducive to learning by creating a good rapport with the students, encouraging them to succeed, and setting high expectations for them. I expect the students to follow the rules, participate, and abide by teacher directives. If misbehavior does arise, the consequences are always in line with the offense. I am firm but fair. If there is a consistent misbehavior problem, I will initially ask the student to talk to me after class. I will talk to him/her about the positive things they are doing in class and how I appreciate something they are doing, as in participating in class for example. I will tell them why their behavior is interfering in the class and have them meet with me later to make a plan of how they will be able to stop the behavior. In class, I will give them a warning and then ask them to move to another section in the room to work by themselves. If the misbehavior continues, I will talk to the student and make a phone call home. I might also ask the parent to come into school for a meeting with the student. I think it is very important to involve the parents. I do not believe in removing a student out of the room unless they are being harmful to others or me in the class–either physically or verbally. I believe that misbehavior should be addressed with the teacher and student communicating as much as possible.
This year your student will need  (1) Five Subject Notebook, writing utensils, highlighters, and a flash drive.  I also encourage you to subscribe to my classroom alerts via Remind.com. This will ensure you receive the classroom updates that I send out almost daily. You can receive it via text message or email. These are short reminders about grades, homework, school events (book fairs/trips), conferences, and report cards. In order to sign up for these reminders you must subscribe via text or email. Homework will be assigned every night except Fridays! The HW is to read 20 minutes of self selected material and write reader’s response entries. There will be additional practice sheets as well sent home.
I look forward to meeting you and having an amazing year with your student. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Best,
Mrs. Zepeda

Drawing Class Art1300C - Fall 2022, 8/23/2022 12:20pm.
Drawing class, 
Welcome to the start of the Fall semester. 
As we begin a return to in person learning I want to provide all of you with some information regarding the first two weeks of school for this class Art1300C. 
Due to some personal unforseeable events, this class will begin the first two weeks in a virtual format. 
This means on the first day we will have a virtual meet at the start of the class., that is 12:20pm via TEAMS.   
I sent a link to the meet on Friday 8/19/22.
Begining on September 6, the day after Labor day, the class will meet regularly at its destined location, room 5204, building five of the North Campus. 
A class syllabus was emailed to you on Friday along with the link to the virtual meet.
Make sure you begin to review it before our virtual meet.

CSE 110 - Lab 3 Solved
Lab Topics
  Familiarization with basic data types. Using the Scanner Class with input validation. Understanding order of operations. Getting familiar with the basic flow control in Java.
Use the following Coding Guidelines
  When declaring a variable, you usually want to initialize it. Remember you cannot initialize a number with a string. Remember variable names are case sensitive. Use tabs or spaces to indent code within blocks (code surrounded by braces). This includes classes, methods, and code associated with ifs, switches and loops. Be consistent with the number of spaces or tabs that you use to indent. Use white space to make your program more readable. Use comments after the ending brace of classes, methods, and blocks to identify to which block it belongs.
Problem Description: Final Weighted Total Calculator
  Please design a program which takes 3 user inputs as homework grade, midterm exam grade, and final exam grade. Then use the following formula to calculate the weighted total:   Totalweighted = (Examfinal / 200 × 50) + (Exammidterm × 0.25) + (Homework × 0.25)   If the weighted total is greater or equal to 50 (>=50), show “Student PASSED the class”​   ​. Otherwise, show ​“Student FAILED the class”​.   Your program have to validate the input values. A homework grade and midterm exam score should be in the range . The final exam grade should be in the range . If an input is invalid, you have to let the user retry immediately until it is a valid input.   Note: To get full marks, you must use only one loop.            
Sample Output
  Sample Run 1 (The user passed the class):   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​80   Student's Weighted Total is 64.00   Student PASSED the class   Sample Run 2 (The user failed the class):   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​30   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​40   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​35   Student's Weighted Total is 26.25   Student FAILED the class     Sample Run 3 (Input validation, minimum requirement)   Enter your HOMEWORK grade: ​100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade: ​76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​8000 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​40   Student's Weighted Total is 54.00   Student PASSED the class                
A Challenge (not required, not part of the lab grade) 
  Limit the number of chances that the user can retry to 3. It means when one input is invalid, the user will have 3 extra times to retry. If a user has retried three times consecutively and fails, the program loop should terminate immediately and show the error message: ​“You have retried 3 times, Please restart your program.”​ In total, a user can input four times in a sequence with the first three inputs invalid. The counter will be reset to 0 when an input is correct. Your program’s output messages should change according to the user input states.   Sample Run for Challengers   Enter your HOMEWORK grade:​ 100   Enter your MIDTERM EXAM grade:​ 76   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade: ​1000 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (2 chances left): ​-1293 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (1 chances left): ​8023 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   Enter your FINAL EXAM grade (0 chances left): ​12342314 Invalid input. A final grade should be in .   You have retried 3 times. Please restart your program.    
Step 1: Get started with the header
  Create a class called Lab3. Use the same setup for setting up your class and main method as you did in previous labs and assignments. Be sure to name your file Lab3.java.   At the beginning of each programming assignment you must have a comment block with the following information:     /*------------------------------------------------------------- // AUTHOR: your name. // FILENAME: title of the source file. // SPECIFICATION: your own description of the program. // FOR: CSE 110- Lab #3 // TIME SPENT: how long it took you to complete the assignment. //-----------------------------------------------------------*/  
Step 2: Declare variables you need
          ​// This scanner is prepared for you to get inputs ​Scanner​ ​scanner​ = ​new​ ​Scanner​(​System​.​in​); ​// Declare three variables for HW, midterm, and final exam grades         ​// --> ​// Declare a loop control variable i         ​// -->   Since your program will ask the user for the homework score, midterm exam score, and final exam score. Please declare three double variables to save these input values.   In addition, you might need a variable to control your while loop. Please declare an integer i for this purpose.   You can declare extra variables if you think they are needed.            
Step 3: Use a while loop with the right condition
  ​while​ (​/* Put in the condition involving i */​) {         }   We hope the program will restart automatically when the user give you an invalid input. Intuitively, we should use a loop structure to make it restart if a certain condition is not correct. Please first make a while loop statement and one loop control variable i. Then design the loop condition you need. Refer the template file if you are not sure what to do.   Hint: It might be challenging to design such a condition sometimes. To help you think about what it should be, here is a simple logic we hope the program to follow:   Inside this while loop, the program asks three inputs from the user. If any of the three inputs is not valid, the loop will restart and let the user input that number again (for example, if the midterm grade is invalid, let the user type the midterm grade again. Do NOT ask the user start from the homework grade.) The while loop will stop when all inputs are done and valid.
Step 4: Use if-else statements to control input flow
              ​if​ (i == ​0​) { ​// Ask the user for homework grade ​// -->                 // ...             }   Inside the while loop, the program asks the user for the three grades. Since we are using only one while loop to do three inputs at the same time, we need a proper flow control to make the loop asks for the right input in different moments. To do so, please construct three if-else statements involving your loop variable i, specifically:   if i is 0, asks for the homework grade if i is 1, asks for the midterm exam grade if i is 2, asks for the final exam grade            
Step 5: Use if-else statements to validate the input values
                  ​// Do input validation ​// --> ​if​ (​/* the HW grade is not valid */​) { ​// Show the error message ​// --> } ​else​ { ​// Update the loop variable ​// -->                 }   Following Step 4, inside each if-else statement the program asks for the user input. To ensure the user gives you a valid number, you have to design another if-else statement to validate the input. For your reference, the valid ranges are   for a homework grade for a midterm exam grade for a final exam grade   Hint: You should update the loop control variable i when any of these input is valid, so as to make your program approach the terminal condition of the loop.            
Step 6: Calculate the weighted total and show the value
  double​ ​weighted_total​ = ...;   After the while loop, please calculate the weighted total by the formula provided above. The result should be saved into another variable and showed in your console.
Step 7: Show the student passed or failed
  ​if​ (​/* ... */​) { ​// Print "the student PASSED the class." } ​else​ { ​// Print "the student FAILED the class."         }   Finally, according to the weighted total, the program determines whether the user passed the class or not. Please design another if-else statement to do so. The conditions are   if the weighted total is greater than or equal to 50, show “ The student PASSED the class” Otherwise, show “ The student FAILED the class”. Read the full article
