Acknowledgment for My Microsoft Software Grant

I received notice of a $41,450 software grant from Microsoft Corporation on February 6, 1997. This grant makes it possible for students in this course to use some of the software featured in this course, notably FrontPage. Software packages from Microsoft Corporation that will be used in this course this semester include the following:

The grant includes software that will be used in my other courses. This term I am also teaching the graduate course ACCT 5342 on Accounting Information Systems.

Students should purchase at least ten 3.5 inch high density (HD) floppy discs and the following required book:

Required Textbook: ISBN 157521198X WPU = Stanek, HTML, CGI, SGML,VRML, JAVA: Web Publishing Unleashed, by William Robert Stanek (Samsnet, Indianapolis, 1997). Assignments will be made from this book, although students will use it largely as a reference book.

The following recommended book may be helpful, although it is not required since the Help menu choice in FrontPage software should be all that is necessary to study FrontPage for this course.

Recommended (but not required) Textbook: ISBN 15752121181 JSU = Wagner, et al., JavaScript Unleashed, by Richard Wagner (Samsnet, Indianapolis, 1996). Assignments will not be made from this book. It is only a reference text for the FrontPage software used extensively in this course.

Grades will be determined on the basis of point rankings as follows:

0300 Points --- Quizzes, exercises, class attendance, and enthusiasm

0100 Points --- Project 1 (05% per day late penalty) Click here to view the Project 1 Assignment

0200 Points --- Project 2 (10% per day late penalty) Click here to view the Project 2 Assignment

0100 Points --- Written evaluations of all Project 1 sites and one Project 2 site of other students

0300 Points --- Final Examination

1000 Points --- Total Possible


The grading scale will be approximately as follows: 93%-100% = A Range; 86%-92% = B range; 78%-85% = C range; 70%-77% = D range; below 70% = F. Class participation and attendance are important and will be considered as subjective elements of your final grade, particularly in borderline cases.

Preliminary Course Activities

 

The first things you need to do are to get accounts and passwords for the following:

  1. A TigerNet system password.
  2. An email account.
  3. Server space on TUCC8 for your web files

With your Trinity University ID card in hand, go to Halsell 108 and ask about all three items. Rules for getting an email account are spelled out in http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/instructions/email/e-mail_general.html. A student Pine Mail System manual can be found at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/instructions/email/pine.html.



Please use Option 3 in the Pine Mail System to create a signature file for your email messages. Your signature file should probably not contain more than four short lines of text.

1) to get into signature file hit option 3 (not F3)

2) type in name, address, etc.

3) hit control o to save and accept the default name of .signature


You can find instructions for other important TUCC services at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/instructions/index.html.
If you have trouble with email in the dorms, contact the Residence Computer Consultant (RCC) for the Residence hall.

Purchase at least ten 3.5 inch high density floppy discs. Such discs are probably cheaper to buy off campus, but try to get at least two discs before the second class. You will need several discs, because every disc you use in this course should have a back up disc to overcome lost discs and disc virus risks.

If your purchased discs are not formatted, you can format them as follows:

1. If the disk you want to format is a floppy disk, insert it into its drive (usually Drive a).

2. Double-click the My Computer icon in Windows 95, and then click the icon for the disk you want to format.

Be sure not to double-click the disk icon, because you can't format a disk if it is open in My Computer or Windows Explorer.

3. On the File menu, click Format.

With ten floppy discs at hand, go to any Tigernet PC Computer such as those in the TUCC Computing Labs in Halsell 226, Cowles 350, and the ground floor of the Maddux Library. By now you should have received a password from Halsell 108 (without a password you cannot log into the Tigernet system). Double click on the Internet Explorer icon or run Netscape Navigator (if available).. Click here for the main link to TUCC. Click here for information on Residence Hall Computing.

Read about how to use the TigerNet system at http://www.tigernet.trinity.edu/ and http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/resnet/index.html.

Note the main links to the Computing Center and Library at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/public_relations/Resource.html.

Use (File, Print) to print the updated version of this course syllabus. The printed one given to you in class is out of date. You may also click on (File, Save as) and import the file into your own computer so you can read the syllabus without being connected to the Internet. However, always keep checking the online version since changes will take place on occasion. The printed version of this syllabus is not set in stone for the entire semester. View the two project assignments in this course. Both projects must be submitted as public web pages (documents). Click here to view the project assignments in a new browser window.

Unless noted otherwise, you may work in pairs or teams in all course activities other than assigned exercises and projects. You may also seek help from the Help Desk in Halsell 226 (phone 736-7471). If you have trouble computing in the dorms, contact the Residence Computer Consultant (RCC) for the Residence hall.

Go to any Tigernet PC Computer such as those in the TUCC Computing Labs in Halsell 226, Cowles 350, and the ground floor of the Maddux Library. Click here for the main link to TUCC. Click here for information on Residence Hall Computing. Turn the computer and monitor switches on and turn the NumLock key off. Then perform the following steps:

Run a web browser such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape's Navigator or Navigator Gold (Gold adds web authoring software). The Trinity University Web Page should appear on the screen. You should familiarize yourself with options on this web page. In particular, note the Library options for Internet Search Tools. My favorite search engines are:

In a web browser, visit the BUSN 2311 course web syllabus at Document 8a in the world's best web site at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen. By clicking on <File, Print>, you may print a hard copy of the syllabus to carry with you at all times. Become familiar with the TUCC web site at http://WWW.Trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/index.html. Become especially familiar with rules and ethics of computing at Trinity University. These are outlined at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/rules.html.   You should also review my document on Fair Use safe harbors at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/rights1.htm

The RIAA is pleased to announce the launch of a new educational web site at http://www.soundbyting.com. This web site provides useful information on the application of copyright law in cyberspace, specifically as it pertains to recorded music. We encourage your university to link to this site, refer students to the materials, and use the content provided at the site.

In conjunction with the launch of the web site, the RIAA also has introduced a pilot education program, the SoundByting Campaign, with ten universities and colleges. The purpose of this campaign is to teach students about respecting copyrighted sound recordings in an online environment. The materials provided in The SoundByting Campaign include a teaching module, posters, basic copyright information, information on the campaign and a number of other materials suitable for distribution to students. We appreciate the interest that your school has expressed in our educational materials, and we anticipate that these materials will be available for distribution to your school no later that January 1999. As you know, we strongly believe that, by educating students about copyright law, we can teach them to respect artists’ rights.

If you have any questions or comments about the web site or the SoundByting Campaign, please feel free to contact me at (202) 775-0101 or, via e-mail, at dincorvaia@riaa.com. Thanks for your support and assistance.

Sincerely,
Denise Incorvaia
RIAA

In Windows 95, click on (Start, Programs, Windows Explorer). Insert a floppy disc into Drive a of the computer. Click on the Floppy Drive (a) and then click on the menu options (File, New, Folder). Then type <images> to create an imagesfolder (directory). Repeat the process for doc files so that you have folders for <images> and <doc>. Later on you will be placing files into these folders. For now they are empty unless you create or copy some files into those folders.

Learn the options in Windows 95 Windows Explorer (or Windows 3.1 File Manager on the path <c:\windows\winfile.exewinfile.exe> in the Windows folder or in an older Windows 3.x operating system. You should learn how to use both file managing and navigating programs. For example, you should learn how to create directories and subdirectories under the root directory on a floppy disc. Then you should learn how to copy, move, and delete files from this floppy disc. You should also learn how to search for programs. Note especially the importance of searching for listing all files in a directory using the *.* code. You may search for all files having a given file extension such as jpg or tbk by searching for *.jpg and *.htm respectively.

Find a small picture of yourself or some other picture that you might like to place on your resume. Take your floppy disc and picture to the Help Desk in Halsell 226. Ask the assistant to help you scan the picture into a file named <mymug.jpg>. Rather than use raw bitmap (bmp) picture files, web publishing requires compressed JPEG (jpg) or GIF (gif) file extensions. Pictures that have more than 16 colors should be saved as jpg files. Pictures with 16 or less colors can be more highly compressed into gif files, although they can also be saved as jpg files. Place the file in the Pictures directory of your floppy disc so that it can be accessed at any time in the course along the path <a:\images\mymug.jpg>.

The Paint program in (Start, Programs, Accessories) will read bitmap (bmp) files but not jpg or gif image files. Unfortunately, images on the Internet are generally jpg or gif compressed image files. If your computer has Paint Shop Pro (PSP) or some other paint program that will read jpg picture files, you should learn to run this program. If you want to order PSP for $69 from JASC or get a free download for a trial period, instructions are given at the URL http://www.jasc.com/ and the phone number is Toll Free Order line: (800) 622-2793 Monday-Friday 7AM-9PM (U.S. Central Time). The toll line is Sales / Marketing: (612) 930-9800 Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM (U.S. Central Time). But I would use the 800 number or the URL given below for a free download. The mailing address is JASC Inc., P.O. Box 44997, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. To get a free trial period shareware download of PSP, the URL is http://www.jasc.com/pspdl.html. PSP is contained on the same five machines that contain FrontPage in Halsell 226. The PSP icon should be on the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar. If you load the mymug.jpg file in PSP, your picture should appear on screen. You can now add a mustache, remove zits, change the picture's size, change the picture's shape, add text, add color, and alter many other things for practice. If you want to save your revised picture, save it under a file name different from the original file mymug.jpg. This will allow you to always have the original scanned picture as well as any edited copies you want to save. You can also practice drawing pictures and viewing the clip art pictures in the Windows directory. You may also download pictures from the WWW by right clicking on the picture in Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. For example, a set of Trinity University pictures can be found at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/public_relations/tour/Campus_Tour.html.

Take the stairway in Coates Center to the second floor and cross over the catwalk to the Placement Center (above the Bookstore). Ask to see sample resumes. You should study alternatives and get some advice on resume creation.

In class we will be comparing Microsoft FrontPage with Netscape Navigator Gold and SoftQuad's HotMetal Pro software programs, although only FrontPage and Gold will be on the lab computers. You can download Frontpage and Navigator Gold from the links given in the previous sentence. You will not be responsible this term for HotMetal Pro, although Dr. Jensen may show some things from HMP in class.

Note for future classes that assigned tasks and exercises are due on the dates indicated in the course syllabus. If you have trouble computing in the dorms, contact the Residence Computer Consultant (RCC) for the Residence hall. Instructions are given at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/resnet/index.html. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) can be found at the following sites:

 

Always back up your discs while you are working on a computer, and always keep a master copy of your work in your living quarters. It is easy to lose computer discs, so always have back up copies of your work. Also, there are possible power outages and computer viruses on campus computers. Always back up the files you are creating or changing at least every 30 minutes while you are on a computer.

After you can send email messages, please subscribe to the jensen-a ListServ for this course. To subscribe, the email address is listproc@listserv.trinity.edu. Suppose your name is Bill Clinton. Bill can subscribe to our ListServ by typing the following in the subscription email (subscribe jensen-a email address name) message: "subscribe jensen-a bclinton@whitehouse.gov Bill Clinton" (without the quotation marks). A few minutes later, Bill can check to see if he is in the ListServ by addressing an email message to "jensen-a@listserv.trinity.edu" (without the quotation marks). His message might read something like "Test 1 Message: Hi everybody! I am now subscribed to the BUSN 2311 ListServe. I hope we will all communicate with one another on this ListServ so that we can share our elations and frustrations with newer technologies." If Bill is subscribed, he will receive his Test 1 message. All other subscribers to this list serve will also receive Bill's message. Note that you are not allowed to send a one-word test message called "Test" or to write "Test" in the Subject line. If you have trouble with email in the dorms, contact the Residence Computer Consultant (RCC) for the Residence hall.

.edu/departments/computing_center/resnet/index.html

When TUCC receives a request for a web page, a new directory, labeled "html" will be created in the student's home directory on TUCC8. All web documents need only be placed in this directory to be visible by the web browser. A student's page may be accessed at www.resnet.trinity.edu/users/. The base document must be named default.htm in the student TUCC8 server (not index.html as it was on the TUCC6 server used by faculty) to make the base document appear upon initial access to the site from a browser.

For more information on the default.htm versus index.html issues, see index.html versus default.htm choice for home page file name at http://www.microsoft.com/KB/ARTICLES/Q150/6/81.HTM

Rules for putting up your web site on a Trinity University server appear in http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/resnet/index.html. General instructrions for putting up your own web site on a Trinity University server are given at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/instructions/WEB/.

If you have trouble setting up your web server, contact the Residence Hall Consultant (RCC) in your residence hall.

 

Judi sent me the following information about TUCC help and labs:

Ready or not, it's new semester time, and we have made a few changes over
the summer in the User Services area within the Computing Center.

The Help Desk has been moved from Halsell 227 to Halsell 108. The hours are
Monday through Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm and the phone number is 736-7409.
The new Help Desk will be staffed by full-time University employees during
these hours. On Saturday and Sunday from 7:00am to 7:00pm there will be
phone support provided by a full-time University employee at 736-7409.

There have also been some changes in the Labs. We have combined the PC and
Mac lab into one lab, now located in Halsell 226. The Computer Science
department is using Halsell 226 for their expanding Virtual Reality lab.
Besides relocating the Halsell lab and adding the new first floor Library
lab, the Coates, Halsell and Library labs are all running the Microsoft NT
workstation operating system. In order to log on to these machines,
students, staff and faculty will need a UserID and password. These can be
obtained in person from the User Services Helpdesk in Halsell 108, Monday -
Friday from 8:00am to 6:00pm. Forgotten passwords may also be reset at the
User Services Helpdesk.

We will be updating our short course schedule, soon to be posted to our web
page. We have provided IMS, in the library, six training video tapes. They
are Windows 95, Word97, Excel97, PowerPoint97, Access97 and Outlook97, we
plan to add to this collection as the year goes on.

If you have any further questions or computer problems, please call
736-7409 or send email to helpdesk@trinity.edu.
Thanks, and happy semester.

Are You a Crook?

Students in this course must be familiar with the Rules and Policies of the Trinity University Computing Center at http://www.trinity.edu/departments/computing_center/rules/index.html

In particular, students should know the Code of Ethics for Computing.

An email message from the Director of the TUCC is reproduced below.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) http://www.riaa.com is taking a very aggressive approach to policing recorded music on the web. RIAA uses a web crawler (similar to what yahoo and alta vista use to create indexes) to constantly scan the web for digital recordings. When one is found, the attorney for RIAA is instructed to contact the offending site and ask that the recordings be removed. If a site continues to use the music, or if music appears repeatedly, they file suit.

Since the web crawler runs all the time, and looks at all of the pages on a server, students are getting caught. RIAA does not discriminate between commercial, governmental, and educational sites. They are actively pursuing cases from all parts of the web.

Also, remember chain letters that instructed the recipient to send a dollar to the top name and on the list, then send the letter to 10 friends? It's also known as mail fraud and is a federal crime! Several new variations of this scam have recently been circulating on the internet as e-mail. This is another situation where a student can get in real trouble if the letter makes it to the wrong hands.

And continuing with Code of Ethics violations, harassment is also a big issue. Harassment can lead to legal trouble whether it's done by mail, telephone, or computer.

I am very interested in ideas on how to get this message to students. We are confronted with so many issues that students need to hear. Personal safety, substance abuse, academic integrity, and so many other issues probably stand in line ahead of concerns about computer and network misuse when one is trying to get messages to students. However, if you are discussing computers with your classes, or ethics in general, please try to find a minute to remind students that a fast computer can get them in trouble fast.

Thanks for any help you can give in passing on the above information.

Week 17 May 01

Final Examination
The original Spring 1998 Class Schedule assigns BUSN 2311 to a final examination time of 6:30 p.m. on Friday, May 01. We will go according to the assigned schedule.

If this creates special problems for a student, that student should contact me about taking the examination at an earlier time.
