To be successful in this course you should be able to create files and folders and store them on the hard disk drive of a computer. You should have daily access to a computer where you can load software ( NoteTabLight and WS-FTP) and create your own files. You should have an internet connection on that computer where you can access the World Wide Web and should have used the web enough to know how it functions.

54 Hours lecture on-line. Since this class has 54 hours of lecture over 18 weeks, you should plan to spend at least 3 hours a week reading the materials provided and 9 hours a week creating web pages. That is the amount of time you would be spending in this course when offered face to face. This course is on-line but it is NOT self-paced.
The CIS Open Lab is in room B151 on the first floor of the business building.

Bring your photo ID to the orientation. During that time, I will have you make your first web pages. I will give you your own web account to use for the semester and teach you how to upload your pages to that account. If you know that you can't be there for the orientation, let me know before that day that you can't be there, and make arrangements to come in to get your Linux account.

If you are on the waiting list: Be sure to come to the first class session. Many times, the class is not full at the first meeting and I give places in the course to those students on the waiting list who attend class. If you are not there, your place will be given to another student who is there!

SCC Computer Lab Hours: To Be announced the first week of the semester

In addition to the class lecture hours in Blackboard, students will need to spend time on a computer to complete the homework assignments. Students should allow 3 or more hours of computer lab time for every one hour spent reading the assignments in Blackboard or a total of 9 to 12 hours each week.
