Welcome to Virginia Montecino's Section 003 of NCLC 249, Internet Literacy for Fall 2001. The subject of study is major aspects of the Internet - Web publishing, evaluating Web sources, investigating virtual communities, 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. Most 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 my syllabus for this section:

Syllabus - Montecino's Section 003
Major assignments and due dates

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 coursework on a disk when you come to class.)

* No work for another class may be recycled for this course.

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 minusses will be figured in, if indicated.
