All of the summer sections of Com S 103 are entirely online. Students must attend the online orientation within WebCT. Computer Literacy and Applications via World Wide Web is a four credit course (designed for students with little or no prior computer experience). It focuses on two parts of modern computing - computer literacy and computer applications.
Since it is an entirely online class, you will learn everything mentioned above in WebCT, which is a web-based virtual classroom only accessible to those who enroll in the class. You do not need to come to the lab. Every Monday and Thursday, I will post lecture material, simulation programs, a quiz, and a summary of your online activities in WebCT. It is your responsibility to check this information at least once a day, 60 minutes each time to explore the material.
Time management is the key to success in this class. The online format allows you to work on your own time and at your own pace in learning the subject contents. It is flexible; however, it also requires your commitment to complete all the assignments. If you follow the schedule, read the textbooks, explore the online material, go through the lectures, turn in homework, and finish the quizzes and examinations on time, your work will be reflected in your grade.
Office is the software we will use for our class projects. If you don't have access to Office (Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint Software) on your computer, you can use the labs on campus that have Office installed, or you may contact your TA for information about how to access the virtual lab (remote desktop connection) from your home computer.
Your familiarization with WebCT is very important in navigating smoothly and effectively in this e-class. If you have any questions regarding contents and assignments, you can get help by e-mailing your section TA, or by coming to our face-to-face help desks.
