Objective
In this course students take directed study in
CS to integrate their academic course program with work in the
field. The course is directed
by a CS faculty member and supervised by the student's work
supervisor. The aim is to
integrate classroom and work experience. The gained hand-on work
experience helps students decide which area of the IT field is of more
interest to them so they can choose the elective courses for the remaining
time in school. It also improves their chances to get a better job upon
graduation.
It
is a 4 credit hours course. There are no formal lectures. The
work students perform must be directly related to the CS field.
Students prepare bi-weekly writ-ten reports covering the work they
performed and present and discuss the reports with their faculty
coordinator. At the end of
the semester students write a final report covering the work of the
semester.
The course utilizes Temple's web
conferencing, BlackBoard where messages are posted by the instructor. You
will need a separate password to access it. To get to BlackBoard click

Attendance
Attendance (excluding during the summer session) is
expected, and may be recorded from time to time. Absences for legitimate
professional activities and illnesses are acceptable only if prior notice
is given to the instructor by e-mail or phone. Scheduling conflicts with your
work, extra-curricular activities, or any other such activities is
not a valid excuse.
Also, review Temple University attendance policy at http://www.temple.edu/ugbulletin97/policies_part1.html#attendance. Although attendance is not a
specific part of the course evaluation it has a direct effect on class
participation. If you are not
in class you cannot participate.
Attendance
and class participation will be taken into account in final grading,
namely, the 'Others' portion of the grade . Class participation means that
you attend class regularly and have completed your assigned readings. It means that you ask relevant
questions and make informed comments in class.
Web
Conferencing
We use a web conferencing tool: Temple's Black Board for outside
class interaction. You will need to get a password from Computer Services
to log on to this site. The site can be used as a message board and
also as a discussion forum where you may post comments/questions about the
course.
Please note that this forum is strictly for discussion on
the course content, and assignments. All matters of class policy should be addressed directly to
the instructor. I do not expect to moderate the forum, however I will
intervene if I feel the need to redirect the focus back on the
course.
Exams

course.
Academic Honesty & Ethics
Temple University, the school, the

the right thing. You are

work. All violations of
academic honesty will be handled according to university policy.
