The intent is to create an effective format using technology that will encourage students to think about what they are learning, locate and process information available through technology, and ask their own questions. Prior to the beginning of each of the major study areas a detailed class outline will be provided to each student. The class outline will include the topics, readings, laboratory activities, and other assignments to be addressed. Each student is expected to be an active participant in all aspects of the course, especially the use of computer technology. This includes attendance at class meetings, participation in class and online discussions, and involvement in group projects.
Work is to be completed by the next class meeting unless specified otherwise.
This does not mean that all assignments will be collected for grading. Homework will be collected for grading at faculty discretion. It is advisable that you have a well organized notebook that contains all your materials with you during ALL class meetings. Any work missed due to lack of attendance is the student's responsibility to schedule time to make-up the assignment. There will be three major exams.
