You
(all students)
need to have the assigned Orange

EACH
LESSON QUIZ),
i.e., every week
either in class or in his office (CL410P) to receive

(Remember:
If you
wait
until the last minute, the instructor may not have enough time to check
all of your completed pages.)

Re: Attendance. It is most
important that you
come to class regularly on time and participate in all class
activities. If you
miss
a quiz, you will receive a zero (0) point
for the quiz. Remember,
if you miss a
class, you will lose
the portion
of class participation credit which will affect your
course grade a lot.... ;((

Friendly Reminder. ☻
Re: Attendance. (During Covid-19, this does NOT apply.)
Missing
classes (or using HEGs in class) will
lose a large portion of your class
participation GE (C2) credit, which will affect
your course grade a lot.... omg
:((
Individuals who need extra help, feel free
to see me in my office (CL410P, TWR 1030-1145am).
☻ No
drinks
(except bottled water), no
food,
no
chewing gum; no
SmartPhones, no AirPods, no

values).

Take a close look at the sites: Craigslist,
Jim Breen, and ymshimazu's sites. What do they share in common?
You'd think you'd stepped into a time machine that has shot you back to
the Web's pre-commercial days? Mosaic, NCSA, Marc
Andreessen? There are
no fancy graphics. No flashy animation. No banner ads. There's hardly
even color. It has all the appeal of an elementary school mimeograph.
And that's by design. Stay true to its original "populist values” that
draw people together. Online communities change over time. Simple
and
fast is good, Craig Newmark agrees, because it makes the site
easy to
use. This practice will help people make life easy. And provide a
culture of trust, one that's very useful and very effective.
"Ostentation and ornamentation are disdained as vulgar, and simplicity
and understatement considered as signs of sophistication
(Zen)."
