Course description

This course is specifically designed to help teachers/administrators prepare to use microcomputers and Internet resources in their classroom/school. Topics include a general introduction to computers, word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and telecommunications. Emphasis will be on actual classroom/school applications.

Course objectives

Each day is split into a lecture and a lab portion; the syllabus is accordingly divided in two columns. The lab assignments will be available through links from the syllabus at

http://macs.citadel.edu/~greimp/562calendar.htm

You have to be connected to the Novell network (CitNov1) to get access to some of the necessary files.

If you need to work at home, let me know and I’ll try to help.

You will begin your lab assignments during the lab portion of the class; they are due one week after that day. For most assignments you’ll have to submit a printout and the corresponding file. You may drop the files, properly named (see instructions) into a "drop box" in CitNov1 Files, at

Departments\Macs\Private\Greim\DropBox\562

Grades

are based on 2 tests (multiple-choice, short-answer), the final exam (theoretical and practical part), "lab" (in-class) and "tutorial" (take-home) assignments. The two tests count 15% each, the final exam 30%, and the assignments 40%. I will follow the usual 10% per grade scheme and not grade "on a curve". However, if after grading a test the statistics show a particularly bad performance of the whole class at one problem, I may adjust that problem's weight within the whole test.

You can check your standing in the course in a file on the Novell network under CitNov Files: \Groups\Departments\Macs\Private\Greim\your_score\562\562scores-(date).xls . You’ll need to know your code number to identify your record.
