Details about this class

  • This is a remote learning class.  You are highly encouraged to attend on-line class meetings so you can ask questions and participate in discussions, but these meetings are recorded and in-person attendance is not required.   All work can be done on your schedule as long as you submit your work according to the weekly due dates.

     

  • There will be regular office hours every week.  Students are encouraged to have regular contact the instructor via Zoom or email, but that is not required.  However, a short one-on-one on-line introductory meeting may be required.  If required, you may schedule this to fit your personal schedule.

  • Your instructor believes people learn best from experience.  Thus, the weekly labs or assignments are the core of this class and must be turned in to get a good grade in this class.

  • You will be required to give a Final Presentation using Zoom.  This can be scheduled toward the end of the term and can be given anytime during Finals Week.

Technology

  • You will need a computer with a microphone and speakers (or a headset) and a webcam so you can use Zoom, watch Youtube videos, and possibly run virtual computers using a graphical user interface over the internet.

  • You will need an internet connection with enough bandwidth to use Zoom, watch videos, and occasionally download Linux DVD images.

  • You will need a computer that can be used for a Linux operating system.  This may simply be a Windows or Apple computer with enough free space to install virtualization software like VirtualBox to use for you Linux operating system.  You will need at least 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk to run the Linux OS.  More is better.  It is also acceptable to use a dedicated Linux computer.

  • A couple unused USB thumb drives are recommended as well.

  • All software used in this course is Open Source and is freely downloadable over the internet and may be kept and used for as long as you like.
