Welcome to Section 002 of NCLC 249, Internet Literacy, for Spring 2004. We will undertake the study of the Internet--what it is, how to interact with, evaluate and investigate the interactive experience of the Internet, and the World Wide Web. We will look at virtual communities, online communication, copyright issues, design for the Web, by reading, writing and critiquing. Your course work will be published on your own course Web site. Please check the syllabus for this section for more information.

The work for this class must be original, not developed for or used in any other class!

Participation: Active participation is required, as a community of learning depends upon the sharing of ideas, questions and talent. This means attendance, and engagement in discussion, both in class and electronically. You are expected to come to class prepared: read the material and complete the course work due when the class meets. (Always bring your course work on a disk when you come to class.)

Quality of work, not just completing it, determines the grade you will earn. You will be allowed to revise some of your written work (you will be notified which ones are revisable). Guidelines for guidelines for revision. Revisions will not be reevaluated if these guidelines have not been met.

Grading standard for Final Grades:

90 - 100 = A
80 - 89 = B
70 - 79 = C
60 - 69 = D
59 - - - = F
Plus or minus will be figured in, as indicated.
