Additional Course Resources |
||
| We will be using Microsoft Excel. This is available on all campus lab computers. If you work from another location, you will need a computer, access to the Internet via a high speed connection (such as DSL or cable) for playing videos, a browser with Flash installed, Adobe PDF viewer, MS Word and MS Excel (2007 recommended). Videos are also "podcast", so an iPod can be used to view and listen to lecture videos and support videos.

Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities as soon as possible to better ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. Attendance: Attendance and participation in online discussions are required. Let the instructor know (by phone or email) if you are unable to attend. You get 3 points for each class you attend, 1 point if you notify me ahead of time, and 0 points if you are absent and do not let me know. Forum grading will be based upon each online week assignment. Homework (Concept Questions): You must complete homework questions on Moodle by the due date. If you do not like your grade, you can redo your homework and your highest grade is what counts. Since you can redo your homework, I encourage you to begin early and complete at least one attempt so that you hopefully will not end up with a zero. Homework (Problem Questions): Weekly projects will be assigned using various quantitative computer models. These projects must be completed by the due date, and you cannot redo project homework. Exams: There will be three exams. |
