Course Requirements
This class will be held hybrid online. The instructor will provide PowerPoint lectures with accompanying audio-video tracks and transcript. Lecture videos and audios (mpeg) can be downloaded to iPod or iPhones. Students will complete Homeworks and Lab assignments
Major announcements related to class will be posted on my web site. (http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/~lertaul/) Check regularly announcement section from class web page. (http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/~lertaul/)
Students will receive the solutions of assignment problems and personal messages from their Horizon E-mail accounts. So please check and clear your horizon e-mail accounts regularly.
Students will use TURNITIN application in blackboard to submit their assignments. FYI, TURNITIN application has plagiarism filter built in . When students submit their assignments TURNITIN application prepares an ORIGINALITY report. Students can see this report immediately. Originality reports which have greater then %40 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. These assignments will get 0 points. If the originality report is higher then %80, instructor will file plagiarism report.
Students will submit their Homeworks on time. 25 points will be cut for one day late Homeworks. Homeworks which are 2 days late WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. These homeworks will get 0 points. E-mail submissions WILL NOT be accepted. These homeworks will get 0 points.
Office hours will be held on SKYPE. (Skype ID: CSUEBLERTAUL ) Students can talk with the instructor using SKYPE for their questions during office hours.
