Spring 2012 Information

CIS 110

I will be teaching 5 sections of CIS 110.
All classes will be using Office 2010 exclusively.

Section 6784
16 week online classes starting January 23 - May 18

Sections 5143 & 5144
12 week online classes starting January 30 - April 27

Sections 5145 & 5149
12 week online classes starting February 13 - May 11

Note: I do not use Blackboard for any part of my class. All content and assignments are on my class web site which you can access via the links below.

One on campus meeting may be required. Details will be posted in the class syllabus. Tests, lab assignments and lectures will be delivered online.

To provide face to face support for students I am able to meet on campus with students in my office. I will also schedule regular on campus office hours which will be posted in the class news.

Students will need a reliable computer and Internet connection.
The computer must have one of the following versions of Microsoft Office 2010:

• Office Professional
• Office Standard *
• Office Home and Student *
• Office Home and Business *
• Internet Explorer, required for using the optional Myitlab training and tutoring software.

* Students with this version will need to download and install the free copy of Microsoft Access 2010 which is available to CIS students.

Office Starter is not supported in this class because it lacks many advanced features required for the lab assignments.

Most training and assignments will be available during the first week of the class. You are free to work ahead and complete the training and assignments on your own pace however assignments are normally graded on or after the due dates.

This class will require from 96 to 136 hours of your time to complete depending on your typing skills and familiarity with using the Internet and computers.

This class is offered in an online format. Students should have significant experience using a computer, managing files and messaging via the Internet.
I do not recommend that beginning computer users enroll in this course.
