Course Objectives Familiarize students with concepts of public information technology. Examine field applications of current and emerging technologies with consideration of related issues. Thus, class participation is critical and an important grading factor. Class participation includes informed contributions to class discussion, active involvement in collaborative learning exercises, and attendance. The instructor should be notified in advance if the student must be absent from a class session.
Active participation is required.
Topics will be made available in the 3 rd week of the term. Reading assignments will follow the assigned topics for each class session. Students are expected to complete ALL assigned reading before each class session. The amount of reading will be reasonable for graduate work. In addition to the reading list, supplemental readings during the semester may be assigned to the class.
