COIN 72 Web Marketing is offered the last time in Winter 2012 because of the reorganization of the CTIS Division. If you are a Web Technologies/E-Commerce certificate student, please check with your adviser ASAP.
if you are a beginner, get as much overview/general information as possible and also take the HTML or Dreamweaver course, etc. for setting up your website. If you are intermediate and/or already have a business and are focusing on an e-marketing initiative, you can write the plan and/or also test it out using your Website e-business.
Following is an overall description of the course, and how to navigate it:
Work from the All-in-One textbook for an overview and concentrate on what your goals are for this course. Most students have said that the reading takes the most time, followed by Discussions and Internet research, and writing up the assignments....don't let slow decision making tie you down, take action and JUST DO IT!
The readings from the textbooks will follow topics listed in the Course Syllabus. Feel free to read beyond the assigned chapters and to use additional materials to 'beef up' your information about a particular topic from the Web, networking with others, workshops/courses, professional meetings, etc. YOU are in charge of your own learning and what you get out of this course!
Assignments come from the text content, from Web research, from alternative resource materials, and from your personal experience and interviews of people who have 'done it all before.' In a hands-on/planning course like COIN 72 it is important to be active several days a week and to do something towards your project goal almost daily, following a monthly plan -- otherwise, time will slip by quickly and you will be facing the last month trying to figure out where the time went and where are the results and rushing to catch up to write your Project Report!
We follow the Foothill Honor Code (against plagiarizing from websites without citing references and using quotation marks, sharing files/assignments, and giving/making available your work for another student to plagiarize) as stated in the Student Handbook and Schedule of Classes.All material on the Web is copyrighted, even though there are repetitions through RSS feeds, blogs, e-mails, other websites, and an unprofessional 'well, it's free, isn't it?' mindset of some.
We assume that students will pursue their studies with integrity and honesty and that the work you submit is all your own, not a copy of somebody else's Website material or somebody's published business plan, HTML coding, or somebody's logo or picture off their Website, or an exact duplicate of their Web marketing ideas. We are working professionals who respect others' work as unique to them. Please notice that we have an Honor Pledge in several of our assignments that you are asked to acknowledge. If you have any questions, please ask Instructor.
You may work ahead on assignments -- watch for deadline dates and mark an earlier date on your calendar! Set your own schedules but keep up with us each week.
Please include a full header on your uploaded work (name, class, title of assignment, date) and type it in on weekly HW assignments.
When you have a question, please Private Message me in Discussions or e-mail me (put COIN 72 in subject line) and let me know if you have problems. (I assume you have attended the on-campus orientation andr communicated with your Instructor during the first week of class!)
