Course Syllabi/Email introduction

All:
 
Happy New Year!  Welcome to the IT 102-50 course.
 
As we approach the new semester, I have placed the course syllabus on ecampus for your perusal.  If you have never had experience with ecampus, simply open the attachment to this email and I will demonstrate ecampus skills to you during our first class session on _Tuesday_ at _6:00_ pm.  At any time during the semester, you will be able to view the course syllabus from the content page in ecampus.

 
For those of you who simply need a quick refresher, just enter ecampus.monmouth.edu at the URL.  Enter your MU email account (s followed by your student number) and your email login on the login screen.  After entering ecampus, you may desire to move to the content page to locate the syllabus, or view the dropbox page, the place where you will go to upload all of your IT assignments this semester.

 
Since the course syllabus contains much information that I know is of importance to you, including the titles of the books we will use this semester and the grading criteria for the course, I ask that you review it carefully before our first class session on _Tuesday_.  For those of you interested in getting an early start over the weekend, you may desire to read some of the very interesting articles in the Current Topics book or select a chapter of great interest to you in the Discovering Computers 2007 book. 

Should you need to check on anything about our class, the two best resources besides Educator are my MU home page and the Infotechbuzz blog that I keep.  Check them both at LEAST weekly!
