Check out the new calendar for CIS! You can download or subscribe to the calendar file and use it in iCal or other calendar software. You can also subscribe to RSS feeds from the calendar, which is especially easy if you have switched to using Firefox as your browser! Just do it!

1 December: In case you did not get the email about the prompt for this week's seminar response paper, here it is: Drawing from at least three of the chapters, identify three reasons why the Internet might help promote democracy and three reasons why it might not succeed. Assuming that we'd like to make the Internet promote democracy, what should people do to help?

17 November: The final assignment for this quarter is now available. Feel free to modify it as long as you provide evidence of meeting the objectives and compose a worthy, thorough self-assessment.

5 November: Details about the Week 7 seminar response paper have been posted on the 'Important due dates' page.

29 October: The next PHP assignment is now available. Preliminary attempt is due on election day. Final submission is slated for Monday, November 8.

22 October: You should have received this by email, but just in case you didn't....
The prompt for the response paper for the week 5 seminar has been posted in the WebX seminar folders (where you should post your papers by Thursday, Oct. 28). Just so you don't have to go looking for it, here it is: Using insights and ideas from the readings discuss how the advent of new computer technology has altered or could alter the course of your life. What might have been different in your life in a world without computers?

20 October: A reading guide for the PHP and MySQL Web Development text has been added to the 'Readings' page.

15 October: Reminder: On Wednesday of week 4 (October 20), we will be attending the fall liberal arts forum for Evening and Weekend Studies. Meet at 6 in Seminar 2 A1107. That's 'A' not 'D'!

14 October: The next HTML assignment is now available. It has been updated recently, so if you printed it prior to today, you should look at it again. There is an example page now and even a way for you to submit the form and see what values the server receives! There are other changes in the objectives and self-assessment, so check it out!

13 October: Three email lists have been created for us to use:
- All CIS students: cis2004@lists.evergreen.edu
