Portfolio and Portfolio Checkup: |
Throughout the semester you will have to do different things related to building your portfolio. One of the main goals for this class is to have a completed portfolio by the end of the class. |
Project and Project Checkup: |
We
will work on one real world hands on project during the semester. It will have to be related to your program of study. Here are a few examples for
different areas. A web student might design a website for a local business with a database connection and a control panel. A Computer Information Technology student might create a Visual BASIC application that connects to a database. A Networking student might setup a network for a local business. As you can see by the weight of this portion, this is a major part of your overall grade. If you are completing a co-op at the same time as this class, you might be able to use it as your project. We can discuss it via email. |
| Presentation: |
You will
have to present your whole portfolio and project at the end of the semester. We will either all come together for one day at the end or create Camtasia videos to look at your work. |
Weekly Discussion Boards: |
Each
student will be required to reply to a prompt that I post in the discussion board each week. The prompt will be related to some new technology. You will also have to reply to at least two of your classmates replies. All of your replies must be in a paragraph format and at least four sentences long. They must be thought out and without spelling errors. I will count off if you don't follow these guidelines. |
Withdrawal Date and Procedure: |
The
last day to withdraw from this class
is Thursday,
March 29th. To initiate
this procedure, you must talk to
your advisor about withdrawing before
this date. |
Academic Integrity Statement: |
Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty
are prohibited. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions, which
may be imposed through the regular institutional procedures as a result
of academic misconduct, your instructor will assign an "F" for
the exercise or examination that evidences academic misconduct for the first
offense and assign an "F" for the course for repeated offenses. |
Other: |
Students with documented disabilities: If you would ordinarily seek accommodations or modifications when taking a face-to-face class on campus, you may find that taking an online class eliminates the need for any adjustments. However, you may find that some accommodations are still necessary to make your online experience fully accessible. We urge you to: 1) make sure that all aspects of this class are accessible to you - and - 2) make sure that all the accommodations you would need in a face-to-face class are appropriately addressed in this class. To discuss your specific requirements, please contact Wesley Satterwhite, Disability Services Coordinator at (828)339-4229 or wesleys@southwesterncc.edu . Information, documentation and other records provided will be maintained in a confidential manner as outlined in the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
