Objective
In this course students take directed study in IS&T  to integrate their academic course program with work in the field.  The course is directed by a IS&T faculty member and supervised by the student's work supervisor.  The aim is to integrate classroom and work experience. The gained hand-on work experience helps students decide which area of the IT field is of more interest to them so they can choose the elective courses for the remaining time in school. It also improves their chances to get a better job upon graduation.

It is a 4 credit hours course. There are no formal lectures. The work students perform must be directly related to the IS&T field. Students  prepare bi-weekly writ-ten reports covering the work they performed and present and discuss the reports with their faculty coordinator.  At the end of the semester students write a final report covering the work of the semester.

The course utilizes Temple's web conferencing, BlackBoard where messages are posted by the instructor. You will need a separate password to access it. To get to BlackBoard  click here.

Important Dates 
Students should regularly visit the course website and the course web conferencing site at http://tuportal.temple.edu for all announcements.  Important dates can be found on the Temple University Academic Calendar.

Attendance 
Attendance (excluding during the summer session) is expected, and may be recorded from time to time.  Absences for legitimate professional activities and illnesses are acceptable only if prior notice is given to the instructor by e-mail or phone.  Scheduling conflicts with your work, extra-curricular activities, or any other such activities is not a valid excuse.  Also, review Temple University attendance policy at http://www.temple.edu/ugbulletin97/policies_part1.html#attendance.  Although attendance is not a specific part of the course evaluation it has a direct effect on class participation.  If you are not in class you cannot participate. 

Attendance and class participation will be taken into account in final grading, namely, the 'Others' portion of the grade . Class participation means that you attend class regularly and have completed your assigned readings.  It means that you ask relevant questions and make informed comments in class. 

Web Conferencing 
We use a web conferencing tool:  Temple's Black Board for outside class interaction. You will need to get a password from Computer Services to log on to this site.  The site can be used as a message board and also as a discussion forum where you may post comments/questions about the course.

Please note that this forum is strictly for discussion on the course content, and assignments. All matters of class policy should be addressed directly to the instructor. I do not expect to moderate the forum, however I will intervene if I feel the need to redirect the focus back on the course.

Exams 
There are no exams in this course.  

Academic Honesty & Ethics
Temple University, the school, the department and I expect you to observe the highest ethical standards. Simply put, we count on you to do the right thing. You are expected to always do your own work. When working in the lab, on your assignments or the team project you may consult others or you study as a group but always submit your own original work.  All violations of academic honesty will be handled according to university policy.  

Disability Disclosure
Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation as soon as possible. Student must provide me with a note from the office of Disability Resources and Services at in 100 Ritter Annex, 215-204-1280, regarding their disability.
