  1. Introduction to Computers and their ApplicationsStructure and Grading Course Introduction Professor Pepper

  2. Projects / Grading • 10% off for late work when allowed late at all • I encourage redoing work when I comment to say you can fix it.

  3. Computer Equipment Required • NONE • No home PC needed – library is fine • Use library if home PC not working well • MS Office occasionally needed • Free Open Office is okay but not tutorials for all • No need for Open Office if you have MS Office • You can choose to buy the $7 / month online MS Office • Mac or PC both okay • Submit through moodle first but email if moodle does accept your assignment.

  4. Applications • MS Office - Any version OR Open Office • Word - Word Processor • Excel - Spreadsheet • PowerPoint - Presentation Tool • SeaMonkey - Web Development Tool • or any HTML tool - learn with CodeAcademy • FileZilla – FTP manager • Windows Explorer or Finder – File management • Putty or Terminal - SSH connection • GIMP or your choice - Graphics • Google Hangout - Conferencing tool for us to meet

  5. Organize with Moodle • General to the entire Course • Announcements • General Course Discussion Questions - extra participation for answering • Syllabus • 15 modules - one per week - approx. 5 hrs • Due Saturday 5 minutes before Midnight • Every solid checkbox checked by Saturday Midnight • Every dotted checkbox instructions completed • First week odd

  6. Weekly Structure • Week Structure • Quick tutorials to learn concepts • Assignments often can be done from high level only • High Level • Movie • Written • F5 to refresh instructions

  7. Time Management • Review the assignment at the beginning of the week  (allow 1 hour)  • Check your email for updates and announcements (at least every other day)  • Post the first part of any required two step assignment (This only occurs some weeks.)  • Do the majority of the reading and activities (allow 3 - 5 hours and preferably break it into a couple days)  • If you want to help, subscribe to the general course discussion questions to read updates and to offer help

  8. DANGER Skipping an online week is the same as cutting class. NOT just homework assignments. Brush over in class OR new material SKIPPING  NOT easily done later. Library PCs and Backup  no excuses
