The above schedule is subject to change.

NOTE: The student who wants to work at home, will need access to Windows 7,  Microsoft Office 2010 to do the assignments for this course. The Office suite needs to include Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010 & Access 2010. If you do not have the software on your computer you may do the hands-on work on the campus computers. The campus labs have Office 2010 loaded. Cerritos College does not supply students computer software for student home computers.

The lab assignments and links to lecture and supporting materials are found on the class web pages available through TalonNet. There are three sites for this section. Log into TalonNet and your class then you will see links to the two class website on the left menu. One at Cerritos College (http://www.cerritos.edu/hohly/CIS101/C101Sp2012OL.htm), myitlab and the other at the TalonNet site. Please refer to these pages for more information.

Revisions to schedule will be made to the syllabus and posted on the web sites for this class. Lab, lectures, and supporting materials for this class are posted on the sites. Some things are only available on the TalonNet site. The TalonNet site has discussion section,  location to submit some labs and quizzes; myITLab site contains exams and labs and other things not found on the Cerritos site. Instructions to log on to the site will be provided in the orientation orientation. It is the students responsibility to retrieve their assignments from the Web pages. All assignment must be submitted to your instructor via myITLab and a few through TalonNet  by the due date/time. They will ONLY be accepted through myITlab and TalonNet and NOT via email.   The online student MUST submit their assignment via myITLab and a few assignments through TalonNet and they will have more detailed submissions online. This will be explained at the orientation document and in the online lab instructions.

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 page 131-132 of the Spring 2012 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 submit 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.
2. An oral reprimand with emphasis on counseling toward prevention of further occurrences. A requirement that work be repeated.
3. A reduction of the grade earned on the specific work in question, including the possibility of no credit for the work.
4. A reduction of the course grade as a result of item 4 above, including the possibility of a failing grade for the course.
5. Referral to the Office of Judicial Affairs for further administrative action, such as suspension or expulsion.

Student Learning Outcome:

• 75% of the students in the class will be able to create an organized set of folders, and successfully copy, move, delete, and rename folders and files according to a model assigned by the instructor.

Attendance:

• Attendance is very important. Please read the attendance policy in the college's catalog at www.cerritos.edu or in the schedule of classes or in the orientation document. Students may be dropped from the class if they are considered to be excessively absent. When the hours of absence exceed one more than twice the number of class hours per week, the students are considered to be excessively absent and are subject to exclusion from class.

• Remember it is critical to keep in contact with your instructor.

• Students must complete the orientation quiz by 1/12/12 successfully. Failure to do so may result in removal of their name from the roll to allow another student seeking admission to enter.

• For online classes attendance students have a minimum of at least one communication with the instructor each week. The following activities are considered a communication with the instructor: send an email, submit an assignment, take a quiz or exam. Students that fail to communicate with the instructor for 3 weeks may be dropped.
