- Notes
- I want you to send me an email during the first week of class. I need to know that you are present and ready to take the course. Your email should include your name so I can understand who is contacting me. The subject of the email should contain the course number and your name as follows:
CIT-122 Lastname, Firstname
- Reading component of this class is very important. Study guides and homework handouts may contain links to other materials on the Internet. Studying these materials is not optional -- it's mandatory.
- CIT-122 Discussion Forum has been created on BCC eLearning website. Use your Access BCC credentials to log on. The forum is for students to collaborate while working on the homework. It is OKAY to post short fragments of homework solution as a sample, but not the entire solution. Don't hesitate to ask a dumb question.
I noticed there is a ranking system in the forum. I am thinking that there should be a gift awarded at the end of the semester to a student who helped everyone the most. That is something for me to think about.
- I am available for help on the schedule that will be posted here:

- Hope everybody has a great semester!

- CIT-122 is the distance learning class, and there are no on-campus lectures. To make yourself comfortable with the distance learning requirements, please be sure to read CIT-122 syllabus.
This course introduces students to logic and problem solving in the computing environment. Students develop a basic idea of programming, communicating with data, debugging, and solving computing problems. Students continue to acquire the intellectual knowledge as well as the concepts, skills, and capabilities essential to a deep understanding of information technology. This course is the second of three courses needed to fulfill this objective. Three class hours per week.
This is the second course in the three course Information Technology Fluency certificate. The goal of this course is to allow students to develop fluency in information technology and allow them to successfully apply this fluency to their professional and personal lives. The courses will cover the intellectual capabilities, information technology concepts and information technology skills as laid out in the Being Fluent with Information Technology guidelines. This certificate provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in computers that is beyond the literacy level but is still not the intensity required to be a computer major. This certificate follows the national guidelines developed by the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council and their goal to "address what everyone needs to know and understand about information technology."
The student should acquire
Basic concepts of algorithmic thinking
Basic database concepts
Understanding Microsoft Access
Understanding of eCommerce and interactive networking
Basic concepts of web page development
Basic concepts of programming
Basic concepts of searching and researching
Techniques of problems solving when technology "goes wrong"
