Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 34


Please provide on the list that is being circulated the following information which will be used in creating NetObjects Accounts at the MicroLabs:Student First NameStudent Family NameStudent Identification Number

Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 35


Tutorials are to be held in MicroLab 2, Building 40

the timetable for this laboratories is full- so start your assignments immediately you get them

Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 36

Tutorial AdministrationNetObjects TeamFusion is an advanced

web site authoring packageyou do not need to program any code to

build a web site using NetObjects Team Fusion or to do assignments in this subject

you can however use JavaScript, Java, ActiveX controls, and raw HTML in web sites built with NetObjects TeamFusion

Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 37


NetObjects Team Fusion accounts will be set up by Week 3, in readiness for your first web development tutorial

another wonderful characteristic of this package is that you can work in groups

we will use this software in Assignments 2 for web site analysis and Assignment 3 where you will be developing Intranet Components

Consultations

Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 39

ConsultationsTimes & Types of Consultation

Student Consultation Times for BUSS909 are as follows:Monday 14:30 - 16:30 Rm 40.242Tuesday 15:30 - 17:30 Rm 40.242

Traditionally, students see lecturers for individual consultations, however I am also happy to consult students using group consultations

Clarke, R. J (2001) L909-01: 40

ConsultationsGroup

If students want to see me in groups then we will need to relocate to a different roomIf I am not in my room during

consultation times it is because I am consulting with a group

I will leave a message on my door telling students where I am!
