CLASS UPDATE week of 5/10/99

Hi All!  Well, we have come to the final week of the semester.  Hurray!!! Thank you all for sticking with us for this "long and strange" trip through the evolving Information Superhighway.  You have been a great group... virtual applause for you all. As I mentioned in the last lecture, this class comes with a LIFETIME SERVICE GUARANTEE :  I promise to respond to your questions as best I can in the coming years. I intend to submit grades on May 17.  You may email me anytime after that date and I will reply with your grade.  If you need an incomplete, please send me an email by May 15. Class evaluations are linked in the WebBoard.  Please take time to evaluate the class by May 15. As always, feel free to IM me or email me.  I enjoy those morning and evening IM chats with all those who have paged me! Keep communicating! See you on the 'net!!  -Ray

Welcome to COM 333 Communicating through Internet.  I will post announcements on the page through the semester, so please check here often.

It is my intention that we will NOT meet face-to-face as a class this semester.  However, I WILL be available to meet with students during regular office hours on campus, and please do feel free to contact me via  schroeder.ray@uis.edu or via AOL Instant Messenger at RaySchroed or via telephone at 217-206-7477.

I have sent snail mail to all 25 who have enrolled so far.  A waiting list is to be established for a second section of this class.
 

This semester I am also offering COM 509 Internet for Educators.  This graduate class is offered on campus on Wednesdays 4:15 pm to 7:45 pm.

Our syllabus is pretty well in shape.  The first lecture and first week discussion question are up on the web.  New lectures will be available by Monday of each week.

HINT:  Sometimes, the web pages linked to the syllabus don't fit well into the the frame (the space where you are presently reading these announcements.  When that is the case, you may want to press your right mouse button and open the page in a new window.  Then you will be able to more easily read the page without having to scroll from left to right.

I look forward to our learning together through this semester; it should be very interesting to use the very technologies we are studying in our class to deliver the course!  :-)
