TEST 1 released October 15
IMPORTANT DATES for students. Monday 10/13/03 is the last day to drop a class and NOT receive a W on your Permanent Record Card. Call StaReg 408-223-0300 to drop this class, especially if you have not submitted any homework since the beginning. This does not apply to late adds to the class who were not input into WebCT. Try to put in your assignments by November 25, which is the last day to drop a class with a W. You can also drop a class by going to http://WebReg.sjeccd.org
TEST 1 is available on October 15 until October 24 (10 days). It is an open book test but as I said in the Orientation please don’t keep it open all that time. Check the questions, study, then answer all the questions in one sitting. Two attempts are allowed. You need to take this test during the duration it is open in order to get a grade. Please complete the pre-test before doing TEST 1. I have released the pre-test until October 15 to give you more time. There is no grade for the pre-test, it counts towards participation. There will be a grade given for TEST 1.

These are the web pages and web sites and the tutorials we studied earlier, too (see the last blog post).
WEEK 7
Students can share their personal web pages with the class this week. Review the special attributes of good web pages. Send your website to other class members or post it. Questions, ask me. (This link should work!)
Review the Basic Search Strategy as defined in the textbook and its website:
1. Identify the important concepts of your search.
2. Choose the keywords that describe these concepts.
3. Determine whether there are synonyms, related terms, or other variations of the keywords that should be included.
4. Determine which search features may apply, including truncation, proximity operators, Boolean operators, and so forth..
5. Choose a search engine.
6. Read the search instructions on the search engine's home page. Look for sections entitled “Help,” “Advanced Search,” “Frequently Asked Questions,” and so forth.
7. Create a search expression, using syntax, which is appropriate for the search engine.
8. Evaluate the results. How many hits were returned? Were the results relevant to your query?
9. Modify your search if needed. Go back to steps 2-4 and revise your query accordingly.
10. Try the same search in a different search engine, following steps 5-9 above.
Test 1 is on Chapters 1-7 and 9 in Textbook and also on the tutorials and website i.e. the catalogs and library sites.
