Details about this class

Note that section 20575  is an ONLINE course delivered through BrightSpace D2L.

Online courses take a little more disicipline to succeed. 

Since we have no meeting times, you will need to be organized and tackle the weekly readings and assignments and turn them in to get the most out of the course.

  1. You will need a computer with a microphone and speakers (or a headset) and a webcam so you can use Zoom, watch Youtube videos, and possibly run virtual computers using a graphical user interface over the internet.
  2. You will need an internet connection with enough bandwidth to use Zoom, watch videos, and occasionally download Linux DVD images.
  3. You will need a computer that can be used for a Linux operating system.  This may simply be a Windows or Apple computer with enough free space to install virtualization software like VirtualBox to use for you Linux operating system.  You will need at least 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of disk to run the Linux OS.  More is better.  It is also acceptable to use a dedicated Linux computer.
