Welcome!.... to the academic resource site for your courses with James A. Finholt at Chemeketa Community College in Salem Oregon.  This website is a living instrument for my courses.  It is always changing so be sure to check-in regularly for course and material changes and updates. If you cannot find the information you need please contact me via the "contact me" link on the left or by using the email link below.

NOTICE:  All open labs and CIS classrooms have been upgraded to Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007.  All required textbooks and course materials have been adopted and modified to match these technologies.  If you are an online student you may need to adapt these materials to your system should you not have Vista or Office 2007.  Remember it is NOT the instructors responsibility to create materials or text modifications for the technology you are using at home.

INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!.....In order to help you obtain the most advanced software, Microsoft has extended its ULTIMATE STEAL sale of Vista Business, OFFICE 2007 ULTIMATE and VISIO 2007.  OFFICE 2007 normally retails for $599.  For $59.95 you can order the full OFFICE 2007 suite.  You can find this incredible steal at:

Each "blue ball" link shown above is your access to the course syllabi and supplements to the material readings assigned from the textbooks.  Most of the classes above have an Internet presence including a classroom message board area.  Each class site can be found via the Blackboard link on the left.  The message board "CHAT" area of your course WebCT site link is a also great way we can all make comments, questions, and concerns regarding course materials. Should you find an issue you know the answer to PLEASE provide this solution to everyone. It will make your class more efficient and will provide each of you with the quickest opportunity to resolve any issues you may have. The Blackboard site will also be used for assignment retrieval/submission and course testing.  This will help students become more comfortable and confident with standardized online certification exams.  I will always be checking this Message "CHAT" area to help you complete your course successfully.

The links on the left of this page provide you quick shortcuts to the most important resources you may need to be successful in this course.  Please take a minute to visit each site.

 

As you define your destiny in life you will have to select one of two paths ... that of the wondering generality or that of the meaningful specific.  Make certain you make the right choice as that choice is the one people will remember you by for the rest of your life.
