You have decided to take a WEB based class.
1. Now, you need to e-mail your instructor with an e-mail address that can be used by the instructor to reach you. DO IT NOW! Note: I will respond to at least your first e-mail message so that you know it works!
The address is:jfuller@tvcc.cc
jlfuller_41@yahoo.com
DON'T try partitioning Windows XP and putting Linux in the new Partition. It will kill XP!
2. You need to be able to send e-mail with attached files.
3. You need to be able to make screen dumps and attach them as files to your e-mail.
4. You need to schedule your time. A four credit quarter course usually meets for 40 hours a term in the classroom, and you are expected to do 1 to 2 hours of work outside of class for each hour of classroom time. Since there are no classroom sessions, you need to schedule 80 to 120 hours of time for working on this course if you expect to succeed.
5. Programing is the art of keeping track of many, many details at a time! You must do it perfectly for it to work.
6. After you e-mail your instructor, read the on-line lecture on installing the book software on your computer. If you have problems, contact your instructor at once!
7. You must have a computer that you can load Linux on and have root access to it!At this site you will find a variety of resources you will need to complete this course.
