TEXTBOOK – You must purchase the textbook from an HCC bookstore, as the book comes in abundle with other required information. More information is covered within the second topic of thecourse in EagleOnline (EO) or Moodle. In addition, you must obtain the books during the second weekof course, at the latest, by the end of the 3rd week or you will fall very behind.2. Adequate Windows PC hardware including a 1 GHz or faster CPU, 1GB or more of RAM, graphicscard with 128 MB of memory, 4 GB of disk storage space and handle multimedia items (sound andmaybe a microphone [suggested but not required this semester]).3. Windows PC4. Windows Operating System: Windows XP – SP2, Window Vista, or Windows 75. High speed Internet access (DSL or cable - dial up will NOT work)6. Text Editing software like NotePad, WordPad, or MS Word7. Web Browser: Firefox for accessing EO Course Work (free online @ http://www.mozilla.org/enUS/firefox/fx/)8. REAL PLAYER software (free online @ http://www.real.com/)9. Adobe Reader software (free online at http://www.adobe.com)10. Visual Studio IDE (FREE online @ . You must be self-motivated in order to be responsible for completing work on time, and withoutconstant reminders. This class moves at a fast pace and staying ahead of schedule is the key toremaining on track.12. You must have access to the necessary computer resources stated above. Please note, thenetwork or computer going down the night before an assignment is due is NOT a valid excuse.Assignments have ample lead time before the Official Due Dates to allow for these types ofsituations. Start work early and upload your work early and you should not have a problem. If p://hccs1.mrooms3.net
ge 3 of 7have internet or computer problems you must be willing to use other resources, such as the HCC openlabs.13. STUDENT ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY: As a DE section of this topic, you mustmake satisfactory progress in this course. Students may be withdrawn if the student misses turningin assignments that total to more than 89 points (which is more than 12.5% of the course work priorto the Final Exam). Contact the instructor if you are having a problem (our course is on a 1000 pointscale). If you decide to quit participating in the course before the Last Day for Administrative/StudentWithdrawals, you may withdraw yourself, or ask instructor to withdraw you. After the withdrawaldate deadline, the instructor is not able to withdraw you. If you quit participating in the course afterthe Last Day for Administrative/Student Withdrawals, you will receive an F. This will apply to allstudents. Incomplete grades are rarely given.14. PROFESSOR PARTICIPATION: I will normally respond to student requests between 1-3 days.Instructors are usually allowed up to two weeks to grade assignments, however, I will try to grade labassignments within 7 days after the due date. All quizzes are self graded and students can see theirresults immediately. I will read all EO “eMail” every time I enter the course and normally will respondthat same day. Thus, as your Professor, I expect to have regular contact with you during thesemester. Most of this contact will be electronically within EO environment. Most interaction will bevia the eMail, and Forum tools within EO.15. ACAMEDIC DISHONESTY/STUDENT HANDBOOK: Please refer to student hand book regardingcheating. Students may ask questions to other students, to myself, or to anyone else. This is how welearn and I encourage it. HOWEVER, all work must be started and completed in its entirety on yourown. If it is found that students are sharing the same files, and then making minor changes to uploadthe work as their own, students will receive a 0 on the assignment and may possibly be removed fromthe class.The Distance Education Student Handbook contains policies and procedures unique to the DE student.Students should have reviewed the handbook as part of the mandatory orientation. It is the student'sresponsibility to be familiar with the handbook's contents. The handbook contains valuableinformation, answers, and resources, such as DE contacts, policies and procedures (how to drop,attendance requirements, etc.), student services (ADA, financial aid, degree planning, etc.), courseinformation, testing procedures, technical support, and academic calendars. Refer to the DE StudentHandbook by visiting this link: http://de.hccs.edu/de/de-student-handbook.16. EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey SystemAt Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary toimprove teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short onlinesurvey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will bemade available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Lookfor the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of theterm.17. MENINGITIS IMMUNIZATION REQUIRED FOR SPRING REGISTRATIONTexas Senate Bill 1107 passed in May 2011, requires that new HCC students and former HCC studentsreturning after an absence of at least one fall or spring semester who are under the age of 30 arerequired to present a physician-signed certificate showing they have been vaccinated against bacterialmeningitis. Beginning with Spring registration, November 7, students will have to satisfy thisrequirement prior to enrollment. For more information and a list of exemptions please go -meningitis-documentationEagle OnlineRequirementshttp://csci.hccs.eduEAGLE ONLINE DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION: This course is partly delivered to the student using EO(educational delivery software). Basically, the EO website is where you will go to enter our virtualclassroom. To open EO website you will need to use the Firefox s3.net
ge 4 of 7Eagle Online USER ID: Your EO login user ID will be your HCC User ID (sometimes referred to as the“W” number). All HCC students have a unique User ID. If you do not know your User ID you can lookit up by visiting the HCC home page. Please note, this is the same user id you may have used forBlackboard, but it will NOT be the same password. If you have never logged into EO at HCC before, thepassword will be “distance”: To log into EO, go to http://distance.hccs.edu and click on the Course/Go To Class link. MAKESURE AND COMPLETE THE ORIENTATION FIRST!You may click here for extra login help.Eagle Online TECHNICAL HELP: Go to http://distance.hccs.edu and click on the EO Help Desk link.Within our EO course there is also a blue HELPDESK button located at the top p of the course.POP UP? If a pop-up is blocked, you will need to set your pop-up blocker to allow pages from our EOsite. The technical requirements section of the orientation will discuss how to allow pop-ups fromEO. The HELPDESK button will explain this as well, located at the top of the course. Do this beforebeginning our course as many of the early links in the course are pop-ups!Instructor GradingCriteriaTotal Points (Percentage)Grade 900 ( 90%)A800 - 899 (80% - 89.9%)B700 - 799 (70% - 79.9%)C600 - 699 (60% - 69.9%D0 - 599 (0% - 59.9%)FCourse CalendarDUE DATE TIMES ARE 11:55pm on the day they are due (Every Wednesdays)!Note: You have two different types of assignments in this course. EO Quiz (EOQuiz) which you upload through EOand is automatically graded. The other assignment is EO Lab (EOLab) that you will do on your PC using VisualStudioIDE and upload into EO for me to grade. Not all topics will have this type of assignment/quiz. Some topics will haveno assignment (topic 1 ), some will have only EOQuiz (topics 2 & 14), some topic(s) will have only EOLab (topic 3),and most topics will have both EOLab as well as EOQuiz (topics 4 to 13).
