Requirements |
The course requirements are
The coursework requirement will be, by default, two papers, one due about 4 weeks and the other 8 weeks into the course, at times to be announced in class. The intention, though, is that this course will in part be doing interface and web site design, rather than just talking about design. In which case, approved practical projects or group presentations would be welcome substitutes for one or both papers. The participation requirement is that you contribute to the online discussion groups or forums. You can meet this requirement by posting at least twice/week during the semester (but this is fairly minimal). We do not want these forums to be cluttered up by folk posting when they have nothing to say or to drone on about subjects that have already been fully exploited the previous week. But human nature suggests that you should have something to say from time to time, and we would like to hear it. Besides, it's the only way that I'll know if you're alive on the other end of the cable. The final examination will be a take-home exam, of three hours duration for the IRLS575 students. It will be distributed electronically about 11 August and has to be returned by 13 August 2003. For IRLS575 students, the coursework will count for 35% of the final grade, the participation 30%, and the final exam for 35% of the grade.

Contacting me |
Please raise queries by email. When the course is up and running, and you are a registered student, use the course's internal email (this is best for me as it keeps material related to this course in one place). Failing that, use ordinary email to atkinson@arizona.edu . Students with access to the campus can see me in Room 8 during Office Hours (M-F 8-9am). If these Office Hours coincide with another obligation (such as class or work) please feel free to contact me to schedule another time. I am usually in the office 8-5, but have meetings and other commitments, so my schedule varies.
