Student Websites

One of my goals for you is to learn and share with each student how to cope with an ever-changing information technology world. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO POST YOUR TERM PAPER ON YOUR WEBSITE. I encourage you all to visit each student's individual website and term paper. This will be an opportunity for you to give feedback as though you are in a REAL CLASSROOM. I think this will make CIS313 class exciting and challenging.
