About Me:
Twenty-eight years of my professional life have
been devoted to public education, and I currently
serve as a district administrator (Chief Strategy
Officer) in the Eagle County Schools. I received
my master’s degree by studying at Wheeling
Jesuit University in Wheeling, West Virginia,
where, at the time, NASA housed its “premier
research facility” for educational technology; I
was one of only 40 teachers selected from a
nation-wide pool to participate, and it helped me
to jump head first into the world of online
learning. I have developed and taught multiple
content areas online and served as the Director
of Technology for a Missouri district before
moving to Colorado thirteen years ago. I am a
National Board Certified teacher.
BIG IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! The following information concerning Canvas is because Canvas hosts
our distance learning courses although some then go on to other online sites. For this course,
you will be logging in to Canvas and then taking a link out to eLAB which is a part of Labyrinth
Learning, the publisher of your textbooks. Once you log into eLAB and enter your login
information, you won’t have to enter it again.
Course Access and Orientation
Canvas by Instructure is the online learning management system (LMS) used by Colorado Mountain
College. You access Canvas via your web browser, i.e.: Mozilla/Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.
Students, faculty, and staff members use the CMC Canvas site to access course announcements,
documents, research links and library resources, to receive and deliver completed assignments, to take
tests, and to communicate with each other via email, discussion boards and chat. For instructions on How
to Access your Canvas Account, Canvas How To's, and who to contact for all your Canvas questions and
support needs, please visit: coloradomtn.edu/departments/information_technology/help_for_canvas/.
Visit CMC’s student orientation page at My CMC Success. Clicking on the “Online Learning” section will
take you to an overview of Online Learning and an introduction to Canvas.
If you are experienced with Canvas you can log in at http://coloradomtn.instructure.com, select the course
and begin at the Home Page which automatically opens after selecting the course.
After you log into the class whether you are new to Canvas or experienced, please peruse the Home
Page, then the Announcements, Syllabus, and only then begin work in the Modules. There is a welcome
and orientation video available on the Home Page, which you will want to take the time to view.
LABYRINTH LEARNING
When you log into Labyrinth Learning, you will be entering their learning management area called eLAB.
There are instructions provided there for viewing videos on how to use the eLAB site. It is similar to
Canvas, so if you view the provided videos, you should find it easy to navigate.

Evaluation Methods and Class Management
In this course, the different types of assignments (Homework, Labs, Assessments, Quizzes, etc.) are
weighted at different percentages. When you check your grades on the Online Gradebook, please note
that the weighted percentage is the important figure, not the total number of points.
Homework – 25%
Homework Assignments will be questions covering assigned chapters. Use of the book, notes,
supplementary information and the computer’s help system will be permitted when doing homework
assignments.
Lab Assignments – 25%
Most of the chapters (projects) will include a lab assignment or assignments. These are practical
assignments covering only the information included in each chapter or project.
Practical Assessments – 20%
Practical Assessments will be given during the course. These assignments will be similar to common
tasks that users of the software would complete on a regular basis. Each section (Windows, Word,
Excel, Access, and PowerPoint) will have a Practical Assessment after the completion of that section
and will only include information from that subject matter (i.e. Word).
Practical Assessments are Open Book. The concept with these is: Can you get the job done? You
will be called upon to use independent thinking and problem solving skills. You can use the
book, the help system or even use references from the Internet. You just cannot ask a human to
assist you in the completion of these projects. Note: you may ask the instructor to clarify the
instructions if you need, you just shouldn’t ask how to accomplish the instructions.
Quizzes – 20%
Quizzes will be given over assigned chapters. Quizzes will be completed from your own
knowledge; no other help is permitted. No notes, no help system, and no person can be utilized
for assistance in the completion of these assignments! You are on your honor when it comes to
taking these tests!
Skills Review – 10%
Uses the Reinforce Your Skills and/or Apply Your Skills Assignments at the end of the chapters in
the book. These are short assignments located at the end of chapters.
ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
The class files necessary for the chapter activities are located on your eLAB Web site. You do NOT have
to retrieve files from anywhere else unless a link is provided there which takes you to another location!
Assignment Due Dates are as posted on the web site and in this syllabus (see Schedule of Assignments,
end of this document). Because this is a web-based course with no set class day and time, assignment
due dates are typically on a Monday (there are two exceptions – see the Schedule of Assignments,
end of this document). You have a great deal of freedom in scheduling your work in this class. The
downside of this is that if you do nothing in a class for several days, you will be rushed to finish the large
amount of work for the week. Don’t let this happen to you. I would suggest getting your work done right
away and having the rest of week free. I will not be accepting excuses such as, “the time just got away
from me.” You need to deal with your personal time management.
At times, technology can let us down. I recommend that you NOT wait until the last possible opportunity
to submit assignments in case there is a technical difficulty (i.e. Internet outage, computer failure, etc.).
Allowing a couple of days of buffer time will give you the chance to find alternatives in the event of a
technical problem. THE FINAL PROJECT WILL BE DUE AT NOON ON THE LAST DAY OF THE
SEMESTER. NO WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER NOON ON THAT FRIDAY!
BEING AN ONLINE STUDENT
In order to experience success in a web-based course, each student needs to be an independent learner,
a self-starter, and disciplined in their time management. If they do not possess these qualities, the end of
the semester will find them severely behind in their assignments, panic-stricken, and over-burdened with
work. Failure is not far behind. 
Page 3 of 11
If you run into trouble with an assignment and need help, do not hesitate to contact me with your
questions. If I know that you are having a problem, I can provide you with extra assistance. If your
problem is not one of understanding, but one of an outside nature (i.e. a home or work situation which
prevents you from completing your work on time), we can work out an acceptable alternative. If you fail to
say anything, it will appear that you simply don't care about your class. If there is a problem, let's talk!
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INSTRUCTOR & STUDENT
This course is structured as a web course. Keeping the instructor informed of up to date contact
information is the student’s responsibility and it is imperative that he or she fulfill this responsibility. Please
make any changes to your contact information in Canvas as well!
I want to address one of the differences in teaching/taking a web course as opposed to a face-to-face
course. If this was a regular course and we all met together in a room at the same time, I would be
instantly available for questions and feedback. And I would know by your questions (and sometimes by
your expression) if I needed to go over a topic not quite understood yet. However, we are not in a face-toface classroom setting - so as a student in a web course it is your responsibility to contact your instructor
if you have questions or concerns. Use the Canvas Conversations system to contact me. Don’t hesitate to
contact me because I do enjoy hearing from my students.
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
Students are responsible for course materials from assigned text(s) and readings, lectures, labs and other
assignments as required. Keep a copy of all documents and e-mails you send to me until the end of the
course! You never know what can happen to prevent me from getting your questions and attachments.
Additionally, although I try my best to accurately record all grades, I am human (gasp!) and sometimes
mistakes happen. Protect yourself by saving all of your work. Then, if the unforeseen should occur, you
can resend the document and not have to repeat that particular assignment.
HONESTY
Since this is a web class and you will be working entirely on your own, you are asked to follow the rules
and expectations as specified in the grading section of this syllabus. A student taking a web version of
this class does not have an instructor present to monitor the taking of quizzes as a student enrolled in an
on-campus class does. Please do not abuse this situation! If a student submits an assignment that is not
his/her own original work, the grade for that assignment will be an automatic F (zero points).
COURSE CONDUCT/CIVILITY POLICY
The Student’s Rights & Responsibilities section of the CMC Student Handbook can be found at
catalog.coloradomtn.edu/content.php?catoid=8&navoid=943
STANDARDS OF ONLINE BEHAVIOR
As responsible adults, students in this course are expected and required to conduct themselves in a
manner consistent with the Colorado Mountain College student conduct code.
Unacceptable online behavior will not be tolerated and could result in a student receiving an F for this
course.
Some examples of inappropriate behavior follow:
• Use of rude, foul or otherwise inappropriate language in e-mail, discussion boards, or other online
forums
• Verbally attacking the instructor or fellow students in e-mail, discussion boards, or other online
forums
• Sending of obscene materials within the confines of this course
• Sending spam to fellow students within the confines of this course
Page 4 of 11
Please be aware of the rules of ‘netiquette’. Netiquette is the online equivalent to off-line etiquette. Using
all caps is considered shouting. Be careful how you phrase your message; the person reading it will not
have your facial expression or tone of voice to help them interpret it. It is easy to be offensive without
realizing it. You might use emoticons like the smiley :-) or winking smiley ;-) to help convey your meaning.
http://www.onlinenetiquette.com is a good web site to visit for more netiquette information.
Course Schedule
Students are responsible for course materials from assigned text(s) and reading, lectures, labs, and other
assignments as required. The instructor may alter any, or all, of this syllabus during the semester as the
learning environment requires. Students will be notified of changes in the Canvas course shell.
A detailed Schedule of Assignments with accompanying due dates can be found at the end of this
syllabus.
Academic Integrity Notice
A student judged to have engaged in academic misconduct as defined in the “Academic Policies and
Requirements” section of the Colorado Mountain College Student Handbook will, at a minimum, receive a
“zero” for the work in question. The student may also be removed from the class, resulting in a failing
grade. All student course material may be submitted to Turnitin.com (or another anti-plagiarism program)
at the instructor’s discretion. “Academic Expectations,” the “Student Code of Conduct and Judicial
Process” and more information about academic misconduct can be found in the Student Handbook,
Students with Disabilities
If you have a disability protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act and feel you may need classroom accommodations based on the impact of your
disability, please contact the Disability Services Coordinator on your campus.

SUBMITTING COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS
Students will use the Instructure/Canvas web site to submit some assignments. When submitting files
through Canvas, you should allow enough time for the upload to be completed. Closing the Upload
Assignment window or browsing away from it before the attached assignment is completely uploaded, will
cause the file to be corrupted. Your instructor will be unable to open it and you will be required to resubmit
the file. This is VERY IMPORTANT: As stated above, allow enough time for the upload to complete or
the file will not be completely transferred to Canvas from your computer; a message stating that
the upload was completed will be given by Canvas each time you complete an upload of a
document to the site.
If an assignment requires screenshots, a screenshot document will be provided on the web site. This
screenshot document contains labels and/or descriptions of the required screenshots. You must use this
screenshot document to submit your screenshots.
Please do not use the comments area where you submit an assignment on Canvas to communicate a
time-sensitive message to your professor. Use e-mail, the Inbox or phone calls for regular communication
with your instructor and the comments area for assignment-specific comments.
It is advisable to have a virus prevention program on your computer and to keep the virus definitions up to
date in order to protect yourself from harmful viruses. If you send an infected file to your instructor it will
be deleted and you will be notified. You may submit the assignment again after you have disinfected your
computer system.
Please note that for every assigned project in this book, it is strongly suggested that you read the project
(chapter) and perform the included tutorial prior to attempting the graded assignments!
You do NOT need to download files from anywhere other than the eLAB site. ALL files needed for a given
assignment (except for the ones you create yourself) are in the folder where each assignment is located.
There is one exception to this where you will need to go back to Canvas but that is so noted.
Should you find a discrepancy between an assignment as listed below and the assignment sheets on the
web site, please use the assignment as noted in the assignment sheet since it would be the most recent.

CIS-118 – Intro to PC Applications/Office 2013 – Summer 2016
Please note that each assignment has a deadline. For all but the first three deadlines, assignments are
due by 11:59 pm on the date listed. The first three deadlines must be met by 5 pm (Wednesday, June 8)
to allow me time to then follow no-show reporting guidelines (my information is due to CMC by 11:59 pm
that same evening – Wednesday, June 8). I encourage you to work ahead of the deadlines. You may
work well ahead of the schedule and finish the course ahead of time!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ISSUANCE & UNDERSTANDING OF COURSE SYLLABUS
I (type your name) _______________________________________ have received, read, and understand
the course syllabus for this class. I have thoroughly reviewed the schedule of assignments, and I am
prepared to meet all deadlines.
I understand that I need the Microsoft Office 2013 Suite of programs on my computer or on a computer to
which I have easy access. I understand that I need a computer running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. I
understand that Microsoft Access may not have come with my installation of Office and that I may need to
do the Access projects on a different computer. (Therefore please verify that your version of Office 2013
has Access 2013 in it now instead of being surprised at the last minute!)
