Welcome to IT 111 - Week 1 Spring 2008


This is a short (55 seconds) welcome video that I created with my Flip Video camera.

I've just finished the first podcast for the class. I'll add a link to it (and the written transcript) below. It has some announcements, information about the podcasts I'll be producing this quarter, and an overview of Assignment 0 and Quiz 0.

There's an information session scheduled for Tuesday, April 1 from 7pm - 7:50pm in IB 3406. I hope you can come because I enjoy meeting the students who'll be taking the class.

I've also created an online orientation that everyone needs to watch. It's in several parts and the whole thing takes about 30 minutes to view. It will give you important information on the course goals, the requirements, and how the class works. The first quiz will cover both the orientation and the syllabus. Make sure you watch the orientation before you take the quiz.

Welcome to IT 111.

IT 111 Week 10 Podcast

This is the final podcast of the quarter and it focuses on the final project and how you can get the best score possible. Remember this is 25% of your final grade!

Why don't you print out a copy of the grading sheet and use it as I explain each of the grading elements?
