Welcome to CISC 282! As the instructor for the course, I’d like to familiarize you with a few aspects of the class and a few changes this year.
First, the course is being offered remotely this term. Lectures will take place synchronously via Teams; they’ll also be recorded and posted in OnQ. Both the instructor and TAs will also be available for office hours via Teams.
Second, the course will have five assignments where you’ll gradually build a website for a fictional client. There’s also a small setup assignment to ensure that you can access the course web server and all of its resources properly. You’ll need to use a laptop or desktop computer to complete the assignments; unfortunately, a tablet or phone won’t be enough.
Third, classes will alternate between lecture periods of approximately 15-25 minutes and in-class activities of approximately 5-10 minutes. Again, you’ll need a laptop or desktop machine to complete the activities.
Last, the website and the course OnQ site will be available and updated with more information prior to the start of classes.
I looks forward to meeting everyone remotely during the first week of classes.
