Course Pack Information

The course pack for CIS677 is ready on-campus. It contains the readings and the video lecture handouts. You can purchase it from Affordable Copies near the Rutgers Newark Campus for $51.50 (including binding).

Affordable Copies Center
49 Halsey Street, Newark. (It's parallel and next to Washington Ave. and between New St. and Bleeker St.)
Tel: 973-802-1007
Open hours: Mon-Fri 9:00-6:00, Sat 10:00-5:00

It's quite large, so you should call first to see if they have a copy left, otherwise since it is large you might want to give them time to make up a new copy for you.

We're working on an alternate arrangement for the distance students to be able to order the course pack.

Course Video Lectures

The course videos are on the class CD-ROM. You can also view them on-line (at lower quality) on-campus over the Internet from the following link. If you are off campus, then you need to use NJIT's Virtual Private Network.

Plagiarism, Copying, Cheating, and Other Unhappy Occurrences

Unfortunately, we must address plagiarism or copying work that other people have written in homework, reports, articles or on the Web. If you are going to use more than a few words from someone or somewhere else you must put it in quotation marks and you must cite it (say where you found it). If you paraphrase information from someone or somewhere else, you do not need to put it in quotation marks, but again you must cite it. Generally there is nothing wrong with incorporating other people's ideas to a limited degree, but you must make it clear when you are using and building upon other people's ideas. Plagiarism can result in failing the course and being put on probation. This unfortunately has happened to several students in the past in CIS677.
