Plagiarism is grounds for expulsion from the course in extreme cases. I will suggest software and provide a link to a download site as we progress through the course. It is not possible for me to demonstrate every aspect of every software programs used in class, so you must be willing to spend time reading your text book, using the online Tutorials on the class web site and the built-in Help Guide in the programs to learn details of the applications. Instructions for the assignments will be written for specific software, so consider carefully the programs you download and install on your computer to complete assignments. Software cannot be downloaded and installed on SSU lab computers.
Software is to be chosen and installed at the student's discretion.
You are subject to the rules and policies of the software manufacturer when you download and install their software. If you are unsure how to download and install software, please seek help before doing so. This is the best place for you to get information from the instructor and other students. For questions on software, the built-in Help Guide in most applications is an excellent reference for questions you have, and I will post links to online Tutorials for further reference. The instructor retains the right to alter the course to assist students or to include additional assignments, depending on how the class progresses.
