Check out the posting in the forums titled: Radical New Changes for CIS-2230

I’m going the change some things about the on-line portion of the course to help steam line things. Read the post BEFORE the 15th for a chance at some part points.

Quiz #4 is up and going

Jack Skoda — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:00:54 +0000

I had a little hicup with blackboard last night, but that’s all fixed now. Quiz #4 is available for students now and will remain open for the next 24 hours. Please make every effort to take the quiz. You have to contact me BEFORE the quiz closes at 1PM on 11 March if you cannot take the quiz in order to reschedule a make-up.

Quiz 3 has been extended to Monday 8 March. The quiz will close at 5PM on Monday. Please make every effort to complete the quiz before it closes, because I cannot extend it again, since quiz #4 will start on Wednesday.

Wednesday night lab, cancelled due to weather

Jack Skoda — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:36:42 +0000

The snow is still coming down and the roads are pretty bad on my end of town, so the Wednesday night lab is cancelled. Check the forums for details

Quiz, quiz, quiz… and something funny

Jack Skoda — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:23:17 +0000

Don’t forget the quiz that opens on Wednesday at noon. It’s the standard 5 question “pick the best answer” style quiz. Remember to email, AIM, or facebook me as soon as you have technical difficulty with Blackboard. I can do nothing for you if you wait until the next lab meeting to tell me you couldn’t take the quiz; I need to know as soon as possible about any trouble with Blackboard.
