| Texts: |
All
texts will be available electronically either via the web or via
the University of Delaware electronic databases. Those who do not
have it already will need to download and install Adobe Acrobat
Reader on the computer they will be using for the course. Students
who will be using a computer outside of the UD network (eg., home computers
using AOL or Comcast) will need to access the network by authenticating
themselves through the web
proxy. There is one reading that must be purchased online for class 2. |
| Prerequisites: |
Students
are expected to be able to send and receive email including attachments.
All students will be expected to read and reply to email regularly
between class meetings. Prior to the first meeting, students should
have an active UD email address. If necessary, visit www.udel.edu/network to
set up your account. |

participate in class discussions and exhibit utilization of technology
for all phases of the course. |

(20%)
