Grading Rubric for Feedback Friends Process for Password Generator Project
Here is the grading rubric we will use for our friends feedback process. As you test each other's algorithms, please apply the following standard for grading:
1. The algorithm functions perfectly to create a password for all sites without further adaptation. (worth 20 points)
2. Given any site, the algorithm creates a password that meets all the following requirements for all sites -- 6 to 10 characters, at least one capital and one lower case letter, and at least one symbol. (worth 30 points)
3. The submitted assignment lists five well-documented examples for different sites, with each step of the algorithm shown separately. (each example worth 10 points, for a total of 50 points)
Tally the determined grade, and please email it back to them and copy me, along with your written evaluation of the security level of the passwords created by their generator, what is good about their algorithm, and what might be improved.

Today in class:
-- We will use the first ten minutes of class to study for the semester test using Quizlet.
-- Then we will work on our Password Generator Project in pairs. * Please be sure your password generator creates a password with between six and ten characters, includes at least one capital and one lower case letter, and includes at least one symbol.
-- Please email me your Password Generator Project (including the written algorithm and five password examples written out step-by-step for five different websites) before the end of class. Then we will exchange projects and do friends feedback.
*First hour will have an additional 15 minutes at the beginning of class tomorrow to work on the project before turning it in and starting friends feedback.

Today in class:
-- We will use the first ten minutes of class to study for the semester test.
-- Then we will review yesterday's introduction to computational thinking and developing algorithms.
-- Then we will work in teams on this week's Password Generator Project which will be worth two grades.
Working in pairs, your task is to design and construct a standardized strategy for generating unique passwords for different sites that can later be regenerated by reapplying the same algorithm. Your solution should address the following concepts:
The algorithm should generate different passwords for different sites.
The password for any site should be reproducible simply by following the algorithm.
The algorithm should be easy to remember and apply.
The password should be complex and difficult to guess.
The general algorithm should not be easily deduced from the password.
Please include five well documented examples, showing each step of generating your password, for five different sites, using your algorithm.
As an example, the algorithm for the password generator in the video we watched was:
1. Take the first two and last two letters of the site name.
2. Switch the first two and last two letters of the site name.
3. Count the number of letters in the site name.
4. Find the corresponding symbol on the keyboard and add that to the end of the password.
So following the steps in this algorithm, the generated password for Facebook would be: okFa* , as illustrated in the steps below:
1. Fa ok
2. okFa
3. 8
4. okFa*

As a large percentage of Computer Applications I students will be out of class today, attending the TSA State Conference and the Fort Sill field trip, we will be adapting the lesson plans. Rather than covering new information on databases today, we will continue watching and discussing the movie Eagle Eye. Please pay close attention to the things in the movie we have learned about in class. These include, databases, artificial intelligence, and smart phones. This movie depicts concerns about data security, smart phone security, and wholly independent artificial intelligence. What could you do to make sure the scenario presented in the movie never happens?
Tuesday, April 10, 2018
Tuesday, April 10, 2018
Today, we will watch Eagle Eye and write an essay about how the movie affected your view of the safest smart phone on the market. Please write a 150-word minimum essay in Microsoft Word or Google Docs and submit via email no later than the beginning of class tomorrow, Wednesday, April 11, 2018.
Tomorrow, we will resume our study of databases.
