Email: Everyone should send me an email with the subject line CSIS83. That way I will have your email
address. In the email, please tell me your background using Windows and Windows 7, why you
are taking this class and what do you want to get out of it (taking it for your job, study for the
Microsoft certification exam, personal interest, etc.)
Textbook: “MOAC Windows 7 Configuration”, Craig Zacker
There are 2 books so make sure you get both the Textbook and Lab Manual.
Attendance: Anyone who stops participating with the class for 1 week can expect to be dropped. To
avoid being dropped, you MUST keep in touch by email to inform me of any conflicts in your
work/life.
Project:
Everyone is required to do a project which is a topic of your choice. It might be a topic on
deployment, security, networking, printer pools or administration or one of the challenge labs in
the lab manual. You choose the topic and get my approval. Write up a brief outline (1/2 page–
be specific on what you want to accomplish). You can work with a partner but then you must do
two topics or a more substantial topic. You will create a 1 page brochure about your topic that
you will hand out in class (why it is important, key points, references for more information) and
make a short (10-15 minute) presentation/demonstration to the class.
Project outline due second week of class 2/9
Academic Honesty: Working with others on assignments is a good way to learn the material and is
encouraged. However, there are limits to the degree of cooperation that is allowed in this class.
Working together to find a good approach for solving a problem is acceptable cooperation. On
the other hand, copying someone else’s work is cheating. Anything that you hand in must be
your own work. For assignment of penalties, there is no difference between cheaters who copy
others' work and cheaters who allow their work to be copied. Violators of this rule will be given
zero points for the assignment or project (or exam) involved. If you have any questions about
what constitutes cheating, please ask.
