Lectures will be given remotely using the Tango collaborative software. A course certificate will be given to students at the successful completion of the course. No SU credit is given for this course. In addition, there is a separate course at SU, and some students from that course may listen to these lectures. All course assignments will be posted on the class Web page and completed assignments and projects will be published on the Web by students.
Grades are also available on-line.
Students will be given NPAC Unix accounts for their coursework. We will assume that students can access these accounts through telnet from their own PC or Unix workstation. Software systems, such as the Oracle8 database system and Java, will be available through the NPAC accounts. These accounts will also provide a class web server with directories where students can make their own homework web page and post their assignments. In some cases, it may be required to download a piece of software to your local system, and instructions will be provided.
