CIS 100 CRN 22302 Friday
This is my page for my CIS 100 Friday morning class. Here you will find information about this class.Class Description and Required Content
Introduction to Personal Computers is a 4 unit class. Students should be prepared to spend about twelve hours a week on class material. For a typical in-class course this means four hours in class with eight additional hours of homework time consisting of reading the book going through tutorials and doing assignments.
This is a beginning course that introduces general introductory computer concepts and teaches students how to be productive with Microsoft Windows and various tools for the Internet as well as Microsoft Office 2016 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access). This class is suitable for both beginners and those wishing to expand their computer skills. This course will satisfy the Area E General Education requirements for transfer to CSU or UC.
Not all versions of Microsoft Office have Access included (including Office 365) - please make sure your version has Access before you begin the class. You MUST use the 2016 version of the applications for this class. There are several ways to obtain the applications. You may purchase a copy of Microsoft Office that includes Access from College buys. If you already have Office or obtain Office 365 and simply need Access you can download a free copy of through Dreamspark.
The requirement for this class consists of a Cengage Unlimited
Code. A single semester Cengage Unlimited single semester
code costs $119 but allows you access to ALL Cengage books.
This means that if you have two or more classes that use a Cengage
book, you will only need to buy one code. It can be used
for both (all classes).
This pdf
shows all the
Fullerton College classes that are currently using a Cengage
book. You can also rent a hardcopy of
the text for $7.99 if you wish. If you think you will
be using Cengage books next semster as well you can purchase
a year long code for $179.99.
Please watch this short video for more information.

Class Guidelines
- The teacher may officially withdraw a student who is
not participating but it is the student’s responsibility
to withdraw if the student decides not to, or is unable
to continue in the class. Failure to do so may result in
a failing grade. You do not need the instructor’s signature
to drop the class. You can drop the class using WebStar.
The Instructor cannot drop you after the Last Drop Date.
It is the student's responsibility to make sure they are
properly registered in the class and have not been dropped
for non-payment or non-participation. Any student not appearing
on the roster at the end of the semester will not receive
a grade. It is also the student's responsibility to notify
the instructor if they change their name during the semester.
If the name and Student ID number do not match the name
on the Admissions and Records roster, the student may receive
an incorrect grade.
- Students must take all exams in order to be able
to pass the class. If a review is provided for any exam,
it will be closed at least the day before the exam session.
Makeup exams are not guaranteed and it is up to the discretion
of the Instructor whether or not to give a makeup for a
missed exam. Things taken into account in that decision
will include the amount and quality of work the student
has already completed, the reason for missing the exam and
the advance given notice by the student. Makeup exams can
be much more difficult than the original exam and will be
given at a time selected by the instructor. It is the student's
responsibility to make sure the instructor has all portions
of the exam, including uploaded files and all paperwork,
before the student leaves the Exam. Exams cannot be
given early.
- This class will use both Canvas and
the Cengage publisher website. For information on
logging into Canvas please visit online.fullcoll.edu.
It can take 24 hours after registration for your account
to be enabled in Canvas.
- Pay attention to Due Dates and times carefully -
Homework may include both work done in Canvas and a
publisher website.
If you are having technical issues, there
are Labs on
campus available for students to complete their homework.
It is the student's responsibility to make sure all assignments
are submitted properly. Students should not expect
replies to emails requesting extensions to due dates.
If you enter the class late you cannot expect extra time
to complete the work..
- The best way to contact the instructor outside of class
is through email. All emails for this class should be sent
through the Canvas mail system. This is to help keep emails
from ending up end up in the spam filter or junk mail. Please
include your full name, student number, CRN and relevant
question information such as chapter or quiz number in all
emails. Proper sentence structure including capitalization
and punctuation will aid the instructor in understanding
your questions and allow for a more timely and helpful response.
Here is a Fun
link about this topic. The instructor will
attempt to answer all properly formatted emails within 48
business hours, but it is not guaranteed. For example if
an assignment is due at 5 p.m. on Thursday, it is best to
send questions by at least that morning to allow time for
the Instructor to answer. If Canvas is down, you may email
to nwoolridge@fullcoll.edu Answers to messages that are
left on voicemail or come to email outside of Canvas may
be delayed or not returned.
- Each student must abide by the Academic
Honesty policy. All issues of academic dishonesty will
be reported. This includes accidental submission of another
student's work. There will NOT be any warnings.
- Students are expected to have reviewed and comply with the
full College Catalog and students should familiarize themselves
with the following District, College, and Division Policies including
but not limited to the Academic
Honesty policy.
- If you need additional time to complete a test or if
you require special accommodations, you must notify the
instructor in a timely manner and make arrangements with
the Disability
Support Services. This may include filling out forms
and making sure they are delivered to the instructor. Otherwise
you will be expected to adhere to general class accommodations.
- Each student needs to take an active part in his/her own education by reading the book, and checking the web site. A student is responsible for all material covered in class. The class material, as presented, assumes the student has purchased the textbook bundle and/or website access. Not having the required materials is not sufficient justification for a student's failure to complete assignments. There may a copy of textbooks on reserve in the library, but a student has no guarantee of access to that copy at any point in time.
How you will be evaluated
There are two types of points in the this class: XP (homework)
and Challenge (exam). If a student achieves 70%
of the homework points and 70% of the total exam points in the
class, the final grade will be based on the average of the Homework
and Exam percentage.
In order to achieve a C in the class each student must get at
least 70% of the points in both the homework and test category.
For example, if a student receives 80% of the points for the
homework, but only 60% for the tests, they will get a D grade.
Likewise it a student receives 90% of the points on the tests
and only 65% of the points on the homework, the student will
receive a D grade. If the student gets 80% of the
homework points and 70% of the exam points then the average
of those two scores would be 75%, giving the student a C in
the class.
Students must maintain at least 60% of the homework points at
all times in order to remain in the class. Missing two days’
worth of assignments is considered unsatisfactory attendance
and non-participation. Please refer to the Fullerton
College Catalog.

Content and Topics
The work in the Cengage website includes Simulation
Trainings, Book projects and other Cengage Grader projects.
In order to complete the trainings and Projects you will need
to purchase the Cengage Access code. You may use the Cengage
web site for about 2 weeks without a key code, however if the
temporary code runs out before you enter your permanent code
you may lose your work and you may be dropped from class.
When creating your account in Cengage make sure you use the
same name that you use in A&R. If the names are different,
you may not receive a grade for the class. Also please
enter your Student ID in the ID# field.
To access the
Cengage Trainings and Projects
you must
enable your browser Pop-Ups.
Simulation Trainings
are web based simulations that do not require you to have the
actual application. They can be done an unlimited amount
of times. You can stop them at any time and pick up later
where you left off. This
Training Video will provide further details about how
to complete a training. The videos can also be found under the
Getting Started Module in Canvas.
The Book Projects will walk you step by step through
pages in the book to learn the skills of that chapter.
If you have questions, this is the time to get those questions
answered since later you will have projects that require the
same skill set but do not give you step by step instructions.
Projects can be done up to 5 times each before the due date.
That means if you submit a project early enough, you can view
your grade report to see if you made errors. If there
are issues, you can fix them and resubmit up to 4 more times
to get a better grade. Grader Projects are similiar to
Book Projects except you will download instructions from the
website instead of following steps in the book.
You
must make sure to start each project with the file you download
from the website even if it appears to be blank.
Each file is marked with the student's name. This means
that you must be very careful to not use or upload another student's
file because this violates the academic honest policy. This
Project Video will provide further details about how
to complete a project.
