ITSC 1305 ~ Intro to PC Operating Systems

Prof. Michael P. Harris

Welcome!

You can navigate through this online classroom by clicking the menu bars located at the top or bottom of almost every page. To get started, download your Chapter Guide or view the Powerpoint Lecture Notes for each lesson. You can also click Lessons, Assignments, etc. on the quick Top menu-bar. On the right there are are more detailed selections to the online course materials.

The primary way I will get course information and Lessons to you will be via the Announcements link on the white Canvas bar menu. You will want to especially study and review the Chapter Guides which outline the objectives you will be responsible for in each chapter.

Several times a week, you will need to check your Canvas Calendar, Modules link, Course Outline, and/or Course Summary (at the bottom of the Syllabus) for updates to the assignment schedule throughout the semester.

I will post the Chapter Guides, PowerPoint Chapter Notes, and detailed Lecture Scripts for each lesson on Monday or Tuesday of the week we start covering that lesson.

I will also post the End-of-Chapter Questions/Answers and one man's viewpoint for the Discussion Questions answers. If you have any thoughts or questions about the Discussion Questions at the end of any Chapter, be sure to bring these up in class or online as there is rarely just one answer.

To pre-check your mastery of the Lesson material before the Unit Tests, there is a short Graded Quiz for each chapter. Be sure to check your End-of-chapter Questions with the Answer key before taking these Chapter Quizzes.

You will find additional resources for this class in the Additional Resources, Downloads, eBooks, & Web Links sections.

I will supplement most of the Lab Activities with materials you will find in Announcements (link) and the Lab Activities section.

If you have any questions or find items that need explanation or correction, contact me via the Canvas Inbox (link) −or email me at mpharris@delmar.edu.
