Important NOTES pertaining to this course
It is important that you view ALL notes pertaining to your course.Hello CIS155 students!
Please read the following information carefully, as it contains very important information about your course.
Your textbook is available online within your course as an EBOOK from the Cengage website. When you registered, you paid a nonrefundable digital course materials fee that covered the cost of this ebook. An optional printed copy of the ebook is available for purchase from your home college bookstore.
Assignments in this course are in both Desire2Learn and SAM. See the schedule in the Content link to see what is due when. Ask your instructor if you need any clarifications.
You must have a computer that can access and run SAM to succeed in this course. Check here http://ng.cengage.com/static/browsercheck/index.html.
Be aware that your school's computers may or may not be able to run SAM. If you plan to rely on your school's computers, check with the I.T. department. Your school's I.T. department is not required to install additional software for CCCOnline classes, though they might occasionally be willing. Again, it's your responsibility to secure a computer upon which to do your classwork in SAM.
You will need to purchase or access the Excel 2016 application for your course on a Windows, Internet-enabled computer you can easily access. Check in your school's registration portal for information about possibly getting Office 365 (and thus Excel 2016) for free. Or, you can purchase it from your home college bookstore or from http://cccs.onthehub.com.
There will be assignments in SAM as well as in Desire2Learn. Check the schedule available in the Content link in Desire2Learn to see what is due when.
It is your responsibility to get into the SAM system as soon as possible once the class starts so that if there are any technical problems, you can contact the Help Desk (http://help.cccs.edu) and get the problem fixed immediately. Please do not contact your school's I.T. department about problems with SAM on your home computer.
Please note that if you have not successfully completed a SAM assignment by the drop date, you will need to consider if you should stay in the class or drop.
This course requires knowledge of basic computer usage, such as installing software, sending email, and so on.
Thank you very much for your attention. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at kathleen.hagerty@cccs.edu. We hope you have a very successful semester!
