OBJECTIVES
Goals:
Assignments: Most of the assignments in this course will be related to using various information networks and library cooperatives. A second set of assignments will involve information hunting exercises. You will try to answer a set of queries using the resources available through the networks and various search engines. We will discuss these assignments further in class.
It should be obvious that you will need to spend some time in the Department’s Microcomputer Lab.
Grades: Grades for this course
will be based on completion of the assignments, midterms, and participation in
class discussions. Academic or scholastic dishonesty, such as plagiarism, cheating, or
academic fraud, will not be tolerated and will incur the most severe penalties,
including failure for the course. All
individual work is assumed to be done individually and responsibly.
If there is any concern about behavior that may be academically
dishonest, please consult the instructor. Students
are also encouraged to refer to the Higher Education Council’s “By-Law of
the Student Code of Conduct” (Yükseköğretim
Kurumları Öğrenci Disiplin Yönetmeliği), especially clause 9/m,
which states that students attempting to cheat or plagiarize shall be expelled
from school for one or two academic semesters.
