IS 201 Computer Information Systems Spring 2002 Calendar and Syllabus
College of Micronesia-FSM
Instructor: Dana Lee Ling

• Required Textbook: Computers:Tools for an Information Age 6th Edition w/CD by Capron.
  Capron at Amazon Capron at Barnes and Noble
• Required materials: A floppy disk on which to store your term HTML/CSS project.
• Quizzes are given every Friday that there is not a test.  Quizzes may be moved to Wednesday when Friday is a holiday.
• Every Wednesday we "DO" CIS by learning HTML 4.01 Strict, CSS2, and Javascript. Along the way we meet DTD, character sets, validation, objects, methods, elements, pseudo elements, properties, and the document object model.  This is an opportunity for students to learn if they like the work involved in coding. This is also a response to student comments Fall 2001 that the course was too much lecture and not enough hands on material.
• Office hours: Room F105 2:00 P.M. to 4 P.M. MWF or walk-in any time.
  Instructor: Dana Lee Ling. 320-2962.
• Seven absences results in withdrawal from the course. A late is one third of an absence. Thus any combination of absences and lates that adds to seven will result in withdrawal. For example, twenty-one lates would result in withdrawal.
• No betelnut in class nor on campus except in the cultural huts.
  No food, drink, gum, or shoes in the laboratory!
• Grading policy:
  Homework is worth 5 points.
  Quizzes are worth on the order of 5 to 10 points each.
  Tests are worth on the order of 20 points.
  The midterm is worth roughly 40 points.
  The final is worth up to roughly 60 points.
  The term as a whole will generate some 200 plus points.
  Grading is based on the standard College policy: Obtain 90% of the points or more to obtain an A, 80% to 89% for a B, and so forth.
