Lecture 1

Class is a junior level class of adults who plan on working hard. We are going to develop multimedia skills.
Read the Syllabus
Each unit is available on Thursday with the clock starting on it on Sunday. Unit work is done the following Sunday and it is closed 21 days after it is opened.
Each week we will have 2 of 3 things to do out of the following:

• Projects - Exercises from the text - they can be shared with all - 45 points - grade will be returned ASAP


• Threaded Discussions - Assigned by instructor - 45 points


1. Respond to instructor question by Tuesday of the week


2. Respond to 2 other students coments by 11:59PM of Sunday ending week


• Webliography - designed to build content - shared tools in Multimedia - must be unique - first student claims credit, others find a different one - 45 points

This means since there is 2 out of 3 assigned there is 90 points available this way. An extra 10 points will be given each week for what is called the "wow factor". The student that does the best of the best in his/her assignments.
