A Few Notes About Assignments
ISPs and computers provide many services and gateways. This class provides a basic understanding in the implementation and use of current Internet Technology, studies of TCP/IP Networking, in depth Web Authoring skills, with the final project being to set up and configure a basic Web Site.

The course is self-paced, continuous enrollment, fifteen week, one credit, with pass/fail/audit assessment options.

Grading
There is only pass or fail (audit optional) for this course. To pass you must successfully complete all of the exercises, within 15 weeks of registration and have FUN. If a student doesn't successfully complete an exercise, they will be notified by e-mail and requested to resubmit it. There will be no written tests.

Student Status and Assignment Sheets
The Student Section is located at: http://www.shuilongs.com/students/students.html. Here you will find your online Student Status links, connections with other students, feedback and assessment forms, the Grading System and a way to find your UACN PID.

The assignments are located online in the classroom. You can see the assignment chapters and sections in the online menu located at http://www.shuilongs.com/cios/cios293menu.html

Each section has link sites and corresponding questions to be answered/tasks to be completed. The assignments are what you need to "turn-in" electronically. This requires a message with the answers be sent to the facilitator (instructor) at ecpatt@ptialaska.net. Assignments should be sent to the instructor with the Class Number and Section clearly marked. Make sure the web URL is complete and in correct case. Make sure that you sign the bottom of each email.There is no need to rewrite the questions in your email. As long as the class number, chapter and section are clearly marked you need only write the answers.

***Note: The facilitator looks at all HEEEEEELP messages first.***

In the later part of the course assignments change to downloading and implementation of programs for the creation and design of a Web Page. The class is completed when the students Web Site is online and CAST compliant.

This class is set up to help you develop the self directive skills necessary to continue to learn about the ever changing Internet Technology, explore new personalized web capabilities, and troubleshoot problems that occur (and they will) when you begin to branch out on your own (and you will). There are no problems in this class, only opportunities to find solutions to situations. As the last solution to any frustration you encounter, you ask the instructor by loudly screaming 911 - HEEEEEELP! in the subject title of an email message. Sometimes the instructor may have to go looking for the answer with you. That's the way the Internet is!!!

Do not abuse the 911 - Heeeeeeelp! Remember that before you ask a question you should have exhausted every resource looking for the answer. There is a reason for this, and you will have the chance to tell me why you think that is on the class evaluation form. At the completion of the class you have the chance to give your personal and honest feedback about the course, the method of instruction and the pass/fail condition. (AHEM- no cheating and going to the feedback form first.) This course fluidly changes and your comments are greatly appreciated and often put instantly to use.

Above all remember these words of wisdom: You are learning a new "language" and many new "programs" when you take this course. Be patient with yourself.
