  2. Acknowledgements and caveat • These course materials draw liberally, with permission, from the following sources: • IST359 classes taught by Prof. Michael Fudge Jr. • IST359 classes taught by Prof. Deborah Nosky • Caveat (beware): At best, PowerPoint slides are only a pale imitation of the entirety of a class meeting. In IST359 in particular, the lectures will cover topics beyond what appears in these slides. Don’t rely on them as a substitute for attending class.

  3. Things you should know • I stick to the course schedule. • Not a fan of late work. • Due on day X mean due that day at 9AM • I believe in experiential learning. • Introduce  Learn  Apply • I believe in grading transparency

  4. Office hours and getting help Tuesdays/Thursday 11am-12pm at my office, Hinds 342

  5. Weekly course flow

  6. How are You Evaluated?

  7. Grading Your grade = points you earned / points issued What you earned is what you get, e.g., an  86.9%  is  a  B,  not  a  B+ I won’t curve final grades or round up (or down) your final grades

  8. Accessing course materials http://blackboard.syr.edu • All required readings and materials are there (except textbook) • Everything you turn in to me is through blackboard • Your grades posted there

  9. Technology in the classroom • We’re all adults here. So use it at your own peril. • Students who give their undivided attention perform the best in this class.

  10. Intro time • Name • Program/year • Why this class and this session • What already know about database • One adjective to describe yourself
