. Welcome to Virginia Montecino's Section 001 of NCLC 249, Internet Literacy for Fall 2003. The subject of study is major aspects of the Internet - Web publishing, evaluating Web sources, investigating virtual communities and online communication, becoming knowledgeable about copyright and the Internet, and other major Internet issues. We will discuss some basic hypertext theory, and do a significant amount of reading, writing and critiquing. Much of your course work will be published on your course Web site. Please review the information on all of the links for a full description of the course and relevant information, and the syllabus for this section:

*The work for this class must be original and not be used for any other class.

Participation: The sharing of talent, knowledge, ideas, and questions is an important element of a community of learners; therefore, active participation is required. This includes attendance and engagement in discussion, both in class and electronically. You are expected to come to class having read the material and having completed all course work due when that 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 earn on assignments. You will be allowed to revise some of your written work (You will be notified which ones are revisable.) with revision due dates. Here are the guidelines for revision. I will not reevaluate revisions 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
Plusses and minuses will be figured in, as indicated.
