	You enter "Attended" if the student has participated in any way in the course. The fastest way to do this is to select Attended for everyone by repeatedly typing "tab tab a, tab tab a, tab tab a, ..." and then going back to change any that never attended.

			For students who have dropped the course, they do not show up in the gradebook in Canvas, but they do show up under People. So, in Canvas, click on People on the left hand side, and then click on the student. If you do not see People as an option on the left, then go to the Settings for the course, and Navigation, and set People so you can see it.

	This must normally be done during the 4th week of classes and by 4pm on the Friday of the 4th week. It is not possible to submit attendance after that time, so this is a hard deadline.

	* Syllabus: Use whatever you like (document, webpage, CS wiki) to make the syllabus. You either upload it into Canvas, or put a link in Canvas to the syllabus. You can use someone else's previous syllabus as a starting point (so it contains all of the required items in it).		* Syllabus: Use whatever you like (document, webpage, CS wiki) to make the syllabus. You either upload it into Canvas, or put a link in Canvas to the syllabus. You can use someone else's previous syllabus as a starting point (so it contains all of the required items in it).
	* Zoom lectures: In Canvas, make a module called "Zoom for lectures", and add the Zoom tool in the module (see https://cs.indstate.edu/~~wiki~~/index.php/Procedures#Canvas_-_Setting_up_Zoom). Click into the zoom module, and schedule a zoom meeting that is the regular days and times of the lecture. When you do a lecture, open the zoom meeting through Canvas, share your screen (or turn on video if using a document camera/webcam to show the board or notes on paper, but don't do both share screen and video [because one or the other becomes too small to see in the recording]), and record to the cloud. Recordings to the cloud will show up as "Cloud recordings" in the zoom tool in the course after some amount of time (normally within 15-45 minutes), and you need to go into the Cloud recordings and click a button to publish the recording. Once you do this, students can go here to watch the recording.		* Zoom lectures: In Canvas, make a module called "Zoom for lectures", and add the Zoom tool in the module (see https://cs.indstate.edu/web/index.php/Procedures#Canvas_-_Setting_up_Zoom).

	* Powerpoint notes: Start a new powerpoint presentation for each week of the class, named "Week __ - main topic" (e.g., Week 1 - Linux and Python getting started). Share your screen, and the powerpoint slides are what everyone sees. In the presentation for the week, put more details on announcements as needed. Use the presentation as the "board" for the lecture. You can type as you would write on the board. You can use the drawing tablet to draw (click on Draw at the top) things (e.g., math, data structures, whatever you would draw on a board). You can also put hints on assignments, solutions to assignments, anything that would go on the board. Try to keep the presentation notes organized with headings that make sense.		* Powerpoint notes: Start a new powerpoint presentation for each week of the class, named "Week __ - main topic" (e.g., Week 1 - Linux and Python getting started).

	* Announcements: Each day there is a lecture, make a new announcement entry for the day in Canvas (e.g., Jan 13 class) with bullet points of announcements (upcoming assignments, things that have been graded recently, brief description of what the lecture plan is for the day, anything else that is important to keep in mind). Set the date for the announcement in the future if you want to type in notes that aren't available to the students yet, and then clear the date once class is over so students will be able to see the announcement (and probably get an email with the announcement, depending on their settings).		* Announcements: Each day there is a lecture, make a new announcement entry for the day in Canvas (e.g., Jan 13 class) with bullet points of announcements (upcoming assignments, things that have been graded recently, brief description of what the lecture plan is for the day, anything else that is important to keep in mind).

	* Programming assignments: Either use the handin system on the CS server for assignments (see [[Handin]] and https://cs.indstate.edu/~~wiki~~/index.php/Procedures#Handin_and_Class_accounts), or you can make the assignments in Canvas and have them turn in the assignments there (you can download a zip of all of the submitted files from all of the students).		* Programming assignments: Either use the handin system on the CS server for assignments (see [[Handin]] and https://cs.indstate.edu/web/index.php/Procedures#Handin_and_Class_accounts), or you can make the assignments in Canvas and have them turn in the assignments there (you can download a zip of all of the submitted files from all of the students).

	* Grading: All items that have grades should be in Canvas. You can use something else to have the assignment details, but the grades should be put into Canvas. After grading something, update the assignment information in Canvas to have some notes on what you took off for (e.g., -1 for no name in file, -10 program doesn't run, etc.). Canvas does not give a lot of options in how to calculate final grades. You can have grade categories that get a certain percentage of the total (e.g., Exams worth 50%), and that's it. Within a grade category it just adds up the total points, so you have to pick the number of points for assignments, quizzes, etc. so that the breakdown is about right.		* Grading: All items that have grades should be in Canvas.

	By default all students are put into the professional concentration. If you want to consider the academic concentration, the main requirement is that you want to work hard to be a good programmer and algorithms designer. If you are not sure, take a course from each concentration the first semester. The advising-grad page linked above has recommendations of which courses to sign up for. All new students take CS 500 (except for those who earned their BS at ISU - ISU BS students are only required to take CS 500 if you choose the professional concentration) regardless of concentration.
