Introduction
ITE-130, Introduction to Internet Services, enables students to acquire the conceptual background and
the online skills needed to become Internet literate. This course uses Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft
Internet Explorer and covers email protocols, search engines, extensions, PDA’s, portals, encryption,
security, FTP, and downloading. We really examine many Web sites to see what the Web has to
offer.In addition the student learns how to create basic Web pages using HTML. Lecture 3 hours per
week for 3 semester credits.

Necessary Text and Supplies

Text: The Internet, 7h Edition by Jessica Evans and Gary P Schneider.
Email: Student must have an email account.

Please note: Loss of an assignment due to saving problems will not be accepted as an excuse for a
work being submitted late. It is strongly recommended each student make backup copies of all work
to ensure assignments are not lost due to the inability to read the flash drive.

Projects and assignments may be submitted electronically via email if the student chooses. Students
must keep a copy of everything sent in the event it gets lost in cyberspace. This does not relieve the
student of responsibility as outlined in the paragraph above.

Instructional Procedure

This course is taught fully online. In order to receive maximum benefit, students should review text
materials each week and keep up with the weekly assignments.

Grading System
The final grade is determined as follows: Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
40% Tests (3) 90-100 A
35% Homework Assignments 80-89 B
25% Final Exam 70-79 C
60-69 D

Homework/Labs
All work submitted for grading must include a cover page with the student name, date submitted, the
assignment number and page in text. Each page of the homework assignment must be identified with
the step # from the assigned case. Any steps that require a written answer can be noted on one of the
other printed homework pages as long as it is identified with the step number. All work should be
stapled together with the cover page on top and all subsequent pages in step order.

Discussion of assignments/projects with other students is acceptable once an individual has made an independent
effort. If the instructor observes students collaborating on an assignment/project, he/she may request to see
evidence of independent effort from those collaborating. All work submitted for grading is expected to be the
student’s own work. If it becomes evident the solution to a problem is not an original effort; the faculty member
is obligated to notify the Honor Council.

Any student who uses any computer at CVCC is assumed to have read and subscribes
to the Computer Ethics Agreement posted in every computer lab on campus. Please
take the time to read, understand, and adhere to the guidelines in this document.
