Friday, Sept 3rd - End of the First Week

Well it has been a long first week. Here are some things you should have covered this week.

Come in to the Lab in GMB133 and spend some time taking a tour of the facility and getting to know the place (If you are outside of Sheridan you should call or email me for a chat).
Visited http://danscourses.com read this blog and find the link to your class page on the left hand menu and read whatever was posted under week1
If you are in Hardware Maintenance or a Microsoft Class, acquire your online class materials like LabSim from Testout at http://labsimonline.com the promotional code is written on the whiteboard in the lab or I can email it to you if you request it. Or, if you are in Photoshop, Flash or Maya then you need to purchase the online materials from http://lynda.com to do this I sent you an invitational email
If you are in Game Programming or Multiplayer Game Programming then you need to come in and see me or email me in the lab before I give you the materials.
Lastly, you should have created a user account at this website and introduced yourself by posting a comment to this homepage blog.

If you were not able to complete any of those things there is still hope! I will be in the lab today from 1 to 5pm. Please come on by, email me, or call me in my office. If I havent heard from you by early next week then I will assume that you want to be dropped from the class.

Sun August 29th - Welcome to DansCourses!

If you have come to this page from the web welcome to DansCourses.com. If you are a newly enrolled student welcome to Sheridan College Fall Semester 2010. This is my website not the college's. I prefer to run all my classes through my own website which gives me more flexibility and control over the content.

New Students - Welcome to Fall Semester

If you are taking a class with me and you live in Sheridan the first thing you want to do is come talk with me in the Computer Networking Lab. The lab is located in the Griffith Memorial Building Room 133. On Monday I will be in the lab until 6pm or later if you want to come and talk with me and discuss the class and take a tour of the lab. Please check with me before you start your first assignments as I am still tinkering and changing stuff. This first week is mostly about introductions and making sure you purchase and get access to the correct online materials. For most of you that will involve materials from either Lynda.com or TestOut.com. If you are taking one of the MSFT Classes please make sure to either see me in the Lab or email me to discuss the class.
