From September 22nd, 2006:
Message to potential
attendees
The 4th session started on August 15th, 2007. Just like other online courses I teach, this course is offered online only. Just to set the expectation correctly, there is no real-time webcasting. The dates specified are mostly for helping people self-pace themselves.
How do I get started? What is it
like to take this course?
Since some
people who are taking this online course for the first time are
wondering on how to get started and what it is like to take my online
courses, I decided to clarify them a bit right here. Taking this
course is simple. Basically you do the following:- Study the presentation slides, resource materials at the convenient time of their choice - the dates specified are only for the guideline.
- Do the hands-on lab. The hands-on lab is a combination of
step-by-step document as well as sample NetBeans projects you can build
and run and see how things work.
- Do the homework - the due date of all homeworks is two weeks after the final class so you have plenty of time to finish them. For each topic, there is a homework. The homework is at the end of the hands-on lab document. The instruction on how to send it and where to send it is also specified there.
- Participate in class email alias for asking and answering questions.
