The above schedule is subject to change. Changes will be announced through email and class webct bulletin board.

NOTE:  The student will need access to Microsoft Office 2007 to do the assignments for this course.  The Office suit needs to include Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, & Access 2007.  If you do not have the software on your computer you may do the hands-on work in the campus computer labs. The campus labs have Office 2007 installed.  Cerritos College does not supply students computer software for home computers.

Quizzes will be given every week starting week 3 of the class.  If you will miss a quiz for a good reason, contact me prior to the week of the quiz to make  arrangements to take the quiz.  There will be no quiz make-ups after the time interval the quiz was available.   Some weeks there might be 2 quizzes.  There will be 30 quizzes and the 20 best quizzes will be used in the calculation of you grade. 

The lab assignments and links to lecture and supporting materials are found on the class web pages.  There are two sites for this section.  Access the two websites for this class through TalonNet.  Log into TalonNet and select the links from the menu on the left of the home page for CC web site.  One at Cerritos College (http://www.cerritos.edu/hohly/cis102/C102Sp2010W.htm) and the other at the TalonNet .   Please refer to these pages for more information.  Make sure that you print out the separate sheets that contains the lab assignments.

Revisions to schedule will be made to the syllabus and posted on the web sites available through TalonNet for this class. Lab, lectures, and supporting materials for this class are posted on one of the two sites.  Some things are only available on the TalonNet site.  The TalonNet site has discussion section, quizzes,  and other things not found on the Cerritos site.    It is the students responsibility to retrieve their assignments from the Web College website. All assignment must be submitted to your instructor via TalonNet (files) and printouts in class for traditional sections.  The online section will submit their files for each lab via TalonNet  They will ONLY be accepted submitted in class and/or via TalonNet. 

Remember it is critical to keep in contact with your instructor.  If you have not been heard from  for 3 weeks or are not making academic progress you will be dropped from the class.

Academic Honesty/Dishonesty Policy:   The work submitted by each student in this class is expected to their own work, not the work of others. Please be sure to read the college’s Academic Honesty/Dishonesty Policy found in the catalogue and schedule of classes.  A copy of the catalogue is located at www.cerritos.edu and the Academic Honest/Dishonesty Policy is found on pages 122 of the Spring 2010 schedule of classes.   Don't put your credit in this course at risk by violating this policy. 

For tests be sure to study and answer questions on your own without help from other students.  For the homework assignments make sure you create your own files from scratch and do your own typing.  I know some of you work together, share books and computers.  That’s OK.  What is not OK is having one person type up the assignment and then submitting it (file or printed document) for multiple students.  Trust me I have ways of figuring it out if you are cheating in this manner.  If I determine that you are cheating, then I will do one of the following actions as stated from the college’s policy:

One or more of the following actions are available to the faculty member who suspects a student has been cheating or plagiarizing:

1. Review-no action.
