Lessons
For each lesson you are required to read through the on-line
instructional text and pass a self-quiz. You may take the
quiz multiple times in order to achieve a passing score of
70%. The quiz must be passed by 11:59 pm CST on the deadline
date.
General Notes
Each lesson is arranged with four components:
- Required reading: you will have a combination of
reading from the required textbook and various articles
on the web. This material should fill in the details of
the lesson outline. By having you read materials outside
of your textbook, I hope to expose you to the wealth of
information available for developers on the Internet. Bookmark
the sites you find helpful; you will use them often.
- Commentary: this includes my additional notes and
commentary on the lesson. This material is required and
may appear on the quizzes.
- Additional resources: these resources are not required
reading, but they will probably help you understand the
material in the lesson.
- Next step: the lesson will end with notes on which
lessons and/or projects you should work on next.
After completing the lesson, you must take the corresponding
on-line quiz. You will be given a random set of multiple choice
questions drawn from the outline and required reading; you
need to score 70% or better to pass. If you do not pass, please
review the lesson and take the quiz again. You will have different
questions on subsequent quizzes, however if you exhaust all
of the questions in the database you will have to
contact the instructor to restart the quizzes.
Remember to make use of the class
forums and the chat room
if you don't understand something!
