For instructions, click HERE.

Students from previous sessions who might want a review, or get
back on track, are welcome to attend as well.
- Technically, these classes
are taught this semester in a 4-week format, but
there is some flexibility (within the regular semester).
- These are online classes,
and they are self-paced and can be done in whatever
format (4-week or 8-week) you wish, as long as all materials are
turned in by July 31.
- In other words.... You
may start as early as June 7th, and may finish
as late as July 31.
General Info:
- Current Students
can access Quizzes on the Blackboard Course Content
link (on the left side of your screen).
- Reminder:
If anyone needs to ask any questions or meet for lab support to
work on any assignments, just send an email and we can work out.
- Reminder: When
you send email, to get a quicker response, it helps to put CIT105/6
first thing in the Subject line. Otherwise, you can get lost in
the mass of daily email...!
- See more on Organizational
Meetings below.
- Organizational/Orientation
Meetings:
- Each Section has at
least one group Organizational Orientation Meeting scheduled
for the first week or two of each 8-week Section.
- Organizational Meetings
are for getting a good a good start on the class. The good news
is that you get bonus points for attending the meeting.
- Organizational Orientation
Meetings will be held in RH 314 Computer Lab (the smaller
lab across from RH 303).
- Alternative times for
a make-up Organizational Orientation Meeting can be arranged by
appointment, to meet in RH 314.
- Most Tuesdays will be
available for lab support appointments.
- Other lab support times
can be arranged by appointment, if Tues are not convenient.
- Even though the classes
are set up for 8 week schedules, you can choose to work at your
own pace, on an 8 week (or 16 week schedule for FS or WS/SP).
- Note: Since we
lost our regular PC Classroom over the Summer Semester 2005, we
are trying the classes with a new format... so it is still a work
in progress...! So, bear with us...!
- Any questions you might
have, feel free to ask...!

UserID Username and the Password for Quizzes. (This password
will be good only for these classes, to do quizzes and check grades

able to take the Quizzes or check your Grades otherwise.
When HW assignments are
graded, I try to have them posted by the following week. I generally
work on them over the weekend. Occasionally, it may take a little
longer to get through all the grading, but if you have any questions
