Gives you the opportunity to explore areas of computers that you are interested in beyond the time constraints of lecture and lab. Provides you more access to the instructor and fellow students for discussion via electronic mail and chat mode. Unix operating system commands, and how to access the global Internet services via telnet, anonymous FTP and the World Wide Web. The lecture is so clear when you've read the book before. Computers add a high level of efficiency and examination in grading the work of my students.
All work leaves specific trails of origin.
I routinely examine trails of origin on each piece of class work submitted through the use of computers, coding, standardized forms of grading, trained observation and analytical skills. Students copying their work from other student's disks, printed or handwritten copy. Students printing copies of their work for other students. Students entering work by peeking at another user's screen. Students including words of other authors in a paper without proper quotation and citation.
