| Week | Information | |
|---|---|---|
| Assignments due in one week unless otherwise stated. I may add some things during the week, so double check the schedule each week! | ||
| Notes and assignments #12, #13, #14 | Work on your project! Assignments: Your capstone project should be submitted. |
|
| Notes and assignments #10 & #11 | Do some research on software for creating a web page. For example, in Netscape there is
composer. Assignments: Try out the package and create a couple of web pages using the package. They do not have to be posted. |
|
| Notes and assignments #8 & #9 | Do some research on software currently in use that relates to your project. If you can find
some trial software, try it out. Assignments: Report back your findings. |
|
| Notes and assignments #6 & #7 | I want you to become very comfortable with PowerPoint or another presentation software.
Experiment with it's use! Assignments: Send me your presentation experiment - it does not need to make sense, it should just show different things you tried! Continue working on the development of your capstone project once you have gotten the approval back from me! | |
| Notes and assignments #5 | Your main project for this course is to develop a capstone project that deals with
the effective use of computers in a career area that you are involved in or considering. Do some research and find out how computers are being used in your field of choice. You can decide on the scope for your proposal. Your final project should include a portfolio, a presentation and a web site devoted to the topic. The portfolio should be done on line. For now, you can use eportfolio at elgg or another site that you find. Your portfolio should be totally professional aimed at showing a prospective employer what you have learned. This can be a continuation from CIT12 or a new portfolio. Assignments: I want you to do some research and send me a proposal plan. |
|
| Notes and assignments #3 & #4 | I want you to pick an application package that can be used to create graphics/images
that you do not know and learn how to use it effectively.
You can pick a package in our lab, a package that allows for a free trial download, or
freeware/shareware. Note these are references I have been given, not that I have tried! Note also that this software might be helpful when you do your project! Possible places to look include: SourceForge software Adobe tryouts About article on Free Graphics Software Assignments: I want you to report back to me what package you used, the process you went through to learn the package, the problems you encountered and the steps you took to overcome them. |
|
| Notes and assignments #1 & #2 | The topics will be posted as 14 sets of notes and assignments. You need to
plan your schedule to cover all 14 sets. The summer is not 14 weeks, so plan
accordingly. I want you to do some research on what is involved in systems analysis, design and implementation (starting from the framework developed last semester). Assignments: Based on the research you do on systems and your knowledge of a particular field that you have worked in, pick an area that could stand improvement. Do a mini analysis of the problem, and explain a computer solution that you think might solve the problem. It could be something that is currently computerized but not working quite right, or something you think would benefit from computerization. I am looking for an understanding of the process |
