Lab Resources and Policies
The CIS department provides
several computer labs including :
- CSL Lab - Maggini Hall 3rd floor
- BCL Lab - Maggini Hall 2nd floor
- PET Lab - Petaluma Center
These labs all have Macs and PCs which contain Netscape and
IE as well as HTML editors and graphics software. We have
zip drives, scanners, color printers and laser writers as
well. You may also use your home computer. I would be glad
to answer questions about lecture material and "extra" topics
not covered in class when I am on duty in the lab or during
office hours (I enjoy helping you).
The lab printers are for class use only! Please do not use
the printers to print out class notes or large web sites which
can consume printed several pages.

Class Assignments
This class is unique in that it requires students to
combine "technical skills"such as HTML, Photoshop, Perl,
PHP, ASP, Java, or Javascript, with "soft skills" such
as respect for co-workers, effective communication, problem
solving,
negotiation, compromise, and flexibility. A student's interaction
with the instructor, their group, and their assigned client
will all be factored into the assignments and will be reflected
in their final grade.
For a complete list of class assignments with due dates
and links to online forms visit the homework
page
A more detailed timeline can be found at the
class schedule page
When you have a question about the homework or any of the
concepts covered in class please send an email which includes
your full name, a ?, and section #. Please note - late work
will only be accepted 1 week after due date and a 20% deduction
