1 00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:03,250 Hello, welcome to the second half of the welcome lecture. 2 00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:06,240 Now I want to focus a little bit more about the course itself. 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,180 And so so the, the material is part of a course that I teach at the University of 4 00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:17,020 Michigan called SI502, which is Network Communic, Computing, Storage, 5 00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:20,420 Communication and Processing. I also have some of these materials, it's 6 00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,910 also got Python in it. It doesn't have any Python in this class, 7 00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:27,050 there's no programming. So, it's really just part of this intro, 8 00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:30,560 intro technology class that I teach at the University of Michigan. 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,810 it's sort of taught in the middle, I give students a break between the Python 10 00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:37,530 programming. and so this is a, a short message from 11 00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:40,990 our, our lawyers. And this is on the certificates or 12 00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:44,430 something like this is on the certificates that basically says this is 13 00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:47,030 not a University of Michigan course. It doesn't count for credit at the 14 00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:50,910 University of Michigan. It's a free course and it's for you to 15 00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:52,898 learn. It's not so much about credit. 16 00:00:52,898 --> 00:00:58,610 And so, enough of that. When I got involved in Coursera, and I 17 00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:02,336 wasn't the earliest, but I was one of the early folks in Coursera. 18 00:01:02,336 --> 00:01:06,340 And what I wanted to create was a freshman class, like an introductory 19 00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:08,330 class. Like a class where we all come together 20 00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:12,590 and kind of get to know each other and learn something kind of fun and, and 21 00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:15,710 really enjoy getting started together. And I think there are other classes and 22 00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:18,370 courses here that are more sophomore, more junior and senior level courses. 23 00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:21,760 But I wanted to be I wanted to be on early, and have some writing involved in 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,130 it, explore the software to get, and I want people to take my course and then go 25 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:29,460 off and take other Coursera courses as well as other courses. 26 00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:32,880 'Cause I think a big part of education is getting to know people and getting 27 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,850 socialized and, and understanding how an environment worked. 28 00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:44,730 And, I have a long history of open source software development. 29 00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:48,690 And one thing about open source software development is your supposed to be open 30 00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:52,650 to suggestions, and other, and let other people other than me make decisions about 31 00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:55,385 the course. And so, I encourage you to, you know, to 32 00:01:55,385 --> 00:01:59,070 contribute to the course, to give me suggestions, to tell me how I can improve 33 00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:02,080 the course. Sometimes I even explicitly ask you for 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,880 help on exam questions, or help to come up with better homework questions, all 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,620 kinds of things. I really like it when you take care of 36 00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:14,460 each other. A big part of these large classes is the 37 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:17,870 learning becomes more social. You can help each other faster then I can 38 00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:20,840 help you. community teaching assistants, they can 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,200 help you, as well. So, I tend to wait and let you guys solve 40 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,640 your problems and help each other. And then I sort of, sort of pat people on 41 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,250 the back, and tell people that they're, tell people if something's wrong, I'll, 42 00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:34,510 I'll try to fix it. But but in general, I really want us to 43 00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:38,450 learn together. So the the backbone of the course is 44 00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:42,080 lectures. recorded audio lectures, hey, like this 45 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,970 one. I give you the lecture notes in PDF, two 46 00:02:45,970 --> 00:02:48,930 formats of PDF. The print one is designed if you're 47 00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:52,290 going to print these out on paper. The slides are smaller, and there's four 48 00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:54,790 per page, and they don't use up as much color ink. 49 00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:57,880 And I also give you the PowerPoint, so that you can either modify them, or some 50 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,025 people use PowerPoint to scribble on. And, you, the slides are creative commons 51 00:03:00,025 --> 00:03:00,584 by attribution. And so, you can use them and reuse them 52 00:03:00,584 --> 00:03:01,234 in your own teaching. And that's why I give you PowerPoint, so 53 00:03:01,234 --> 00:03:01,930 you can modify them. Most of the videos are up on YouTube. 54 00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:17,650 You can point at them, I don't want you to put copies of my videos up on YouTube. 55 00:03:17,650 --> 00:03:21,526 You're allowed to download them. some of the videos are copy, have 56 00:03:21,526 --> 00:03:25,960 copyright IEEE material in them. So, you really can't do anything, except 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,230 use them in, for the purposes of this class and for your own per, personal use. 58 00:03:30,230 --> 00:03:33,300 And they belong to IEEE, and they remain copyright IEEE. 59 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:36,420 Of course, you can use them in your own teaching. 60 00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:40,290 You know, that's, that's totally fair, it's just the key is not to republish the 61 00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:43,890 material. So, if you borrow my slides, they're 62 00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:47,986 totally re-publishable. So, the class is, you know, eight, nine, 63 00:03:47,986 --> 00:03:54,738 ten weeks long with some exams. The syllabus has the, the detail. 64 00:03:54,738 --> 00:04:00,250 I, I expect this to be it's not like a three-credit college class. 65 00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:05,519 I expect three to four focused hours of your time per week, maybe five or two or 66 00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:09,770 more, two more hours or so, depending. and I'm going to make it, so that in the 67 00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:12,850 first two weeks we're not moving so fast that people can't still join. 68 00:04:12,850 --> 00:04:16,420 So, I kind of give the assignments a little longer in the first couple of 69 00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:18,640 weeks, and give people a bit of time to catch up. 70 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,050 But if you have people who want to join the class, you've got to get them in 71 00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:23,990 early. And so, we'll shut down new enrollment at 72 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:27,520 some point. And people won't be able to join the 73 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,640 class, and you know, maybe about three weeks in or something. 74 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,410 And off we go and we'll be a cohort. A big part of the class is the discussion 75 00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:39,770 forums, and this is both where you meet and find each other. 76 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:44,742 Coursera classes often have very active and great discussions in the forums. 77 00:04:44,742 --> 00:04:51,130 you folks come from all over the world. there are thousands of people in the 78 00:04:51,130 --> 00:04:56,325 class, thousands of people active. And and I really get a great deal of joy 79 00:04:56,325 --> 00:05:00,770 interacting with all of you. And regardless of where you're coming 80 00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:04,115 from, I think that's particularly fun. One of the things I've taken to doing, 81 00:05:04,115 --> 00:05:07,210 because I have a very active travel schedule as a faculty member here at the 82 00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:10,965 University of Michigan. I do a lot of speaking engagements about 83 00:05:10,965 --> 00:05:16,720 MOOC's and open source software and Sakai and standards, and all the things that I 84 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,200 do, I get, I, I, I end up on a plane a lot. 85 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,550 So, one of the things I like to do is take a couple hours out and announced to 86 00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:27,700 the students in the class announced to you that oh, hey, I'll be in Barcelona, 87 00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:31,400 Spain, for from, you know, 10 to noon on a Saturday morning. 88 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,470 And then people come by, and I've had these all over the world, New York, Los 89 00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:39,388 Angeles, Michigan, North Carolina, Chicago, DC. 90 00:05:39,388 --> 00:05:44,890 Seoul, Korea, Barcelona, I've had them all over the world, and usually somewhere 91 00:05:44,890 --> 00:05:47,910 between 2 and 15 show up, and it's it's great fun. 92 00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:52,090 And so I would love, if I end up doing office hours, if you will show up an 93 00:05:52,090 --> 00:05:55,820 office hours. The way that you earn your grade is 94 00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:59,330 through assessments, there are questions that stop in the middle of the video, but 95 00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:01,880 they do not count. So it doesn't really matter if you get 96 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,790 them right or wrong. There'll be one quiz to cover each week's 97 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:07,110 worth of material. That will be worth ten points. 98 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:11,520 And the final exam, and the quizzes you can take over, and over, and over again, 99 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,720 and hopefully your score goes up each time you take, you get to keep the last 100 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,280 score, I think it's the last score. The final exam [SOUND] is a little 101 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,180 different, and I'll send notes out about this. 102 00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:27,195 It's one attempt, you have 24 hours, which you have 24 hours within a 103 00:06:27,195 --> 00:06:29,740 two-week, week period. Once you start it, you have to finish it 104 00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:33,090 within 24 hours. so, you don't get to take it over and 105 00:06:33,090 --> 00:06:35,810 over and over again. And there's three extra credit 106 00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:40,140 assignments that are peer graded for writings, 10 points each. 107 00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:42,000 Now you don't have to do the extra credit. 108 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,570 You'll see in a bit that the points are based on the percentage of the points for 109 00:06:47,570 --> 00:06:52,700 the quiz plus the final exam. So, peer grading is a way for you to, if 110 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:56,220 you like to engage more deeply in the material and engage more deeply in your 111 00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:59,770 fellow students. The extra credit material is peer graded. 112 00:06:59,770 --> 00:07:04,530 But you don't have to do it, your peers will determine your grade. 113 00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:08,610 Now the way it works is the high ones and the low ones are thrown out, so it's the 114 00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:11,535 middle ones. And so, if somebody gives you zeros, 115 00:07:11,535 --> 00:07:15,770 unless everyone gives you zeros, you'll get the score, the middle score. 116 00:07:15,770 --> 00:07:18,040 Not the high nor the low, it's not an average. 117 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,685 So, you get some low scores, those low scores are basically thrown away. 118 00:07:21,685 --> 00:07:24,560 And so, you've got to write your submission knowing that it's your fellow 119 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,740 students that are going to judge you. I'm not going to come in with thousands 120 00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:33,830 of assignments and regrade them if you disagree with the grading. 121 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:36,780 So, you've got to write with your audience in mind. 122 00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:40,980 And so, in the course if you get, not including the extra credit. 123 00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:44,590 The extra credit is just added on. Basically the total for the assignment 124 00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:49,130 plus the total for the exam, is how I'm going to calculate the course percentage. 125 00:07:49,130 --> 00:07:52,582 So, I take the total you learn, earn on the assignments, 10 a week. 126 00:07:52,582 --> 00:07:55,446 The total on the exam, say if the exam was 30. 127 00:07:55,446 --> 00:08:02,410 So there's 7 assignments times 10, 30. And then so 7 times 10 and 30, in this 128 00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:06,450 case 100 is the denominator. And then we add to that on the numerator, 129 00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:09,550 we add the extra credit. So, if you don't do the extra credit at 130 00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:13,786 all you have up to 100 points, all right 100 points 100%. 131 00:08:13,786 --> 00:08:16,940 The extra credit, and you might not get a 10 on every one of the extra credits. 132 00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:20,045 But the extra credit is just extra credit, it's added on. 133 00:08:20,045 --> 00:08:24,090 And so, after I do this calculation, I guess we can clear this here. 134 00:08:24,090 --> 00:08:28,565 After we do this calculation right here, that percentage, which might be over 135 00:08:28,565 --> 00:08:32,196 100%, if you've done extra credit assignments. 136 00:08:32,196 --> 00:08:36,247 If you're above 75%, you're going to get a certificate. 137 00:08:36,247 --> 00:08:41,418 And if you're above 85%, you'll get a certificate with distinction. 138 00:08:41,418 --> 00:08:46,678 Now, if you really want a certificate, don't plan on getting exactly 75% or 139 00:08:46,678 --> 00:08:50,480 74.99% and then do a bunch of complaining. 140 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,230 Okay. This is about learning, but if you want 141 00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:59,420 to get the certificate, don't shoot for the low level, or the same thing. 142 00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:05,401 If you end up with 84.99, you know, don't, I, just earn the certificate, get 143 00:09:05,401 --> 00:09:14,010 the points, don't let it be close, okay? So, 85 75% for certificate, 85% for 144 00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:20,220 certificate with distinction and there will be no individual regrade or point 145 00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:26,770 appeals, or if you think your peers are completely confused and misgraded you. 146 00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:30,140 Just do the next assignment, right. So, that's part of the reason that I made 147 00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:36,340 peer grading extra credit. So, as I mentioned you're supposed to 148 00:09:36,340 --> 00:09:39,090 help each other. And you'll help each other a lot. 149 00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:43,750 I mean, the questions in the forums in one class get aver, answered 24 hours a 150 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,290 day, 7 days a week, an average of 21 minutes. 151 00:09:46,290 --> 00:09:50,410 And that's because often the people who know the answers to your question the 152 00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:55,220 best are maybe in the time, same time zone as you are, and taking the class at 153 00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:59,050 exactly the same time you are. So, ask the questions in the forum, the 154 00:09:59,050 --> 00:10:03,370 answers will often come in the forum. and on the quizzes if you have some 155 00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:07,820 confusion, or you have some clarification that you need talk about it, you know the 156 00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:11,652 people who could just sit and take the quizzes over and over eventually get 10 157 00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:14,120 out of 10. So, we don't think of the quizzes as 158 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,520 highly sensitive material. You tend not to just put all your quiz 159 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,770 questions and then your answers in the form that would be tacky. 160 00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:24,290 But you know, just if somebody had a problem with question seven, and there's 161 00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:29,060 some confusion, you know, don't worry about being highly sensitive or secure 162 00:10:29,060 --> 00:10:30,950 about it. Say, oh I'm having problems with question 163 00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:33,640 seven. I think that C is the answer, but I don't 164 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,374 quite understand why packets aren't also streams, or something like that. 165 00:10:39,374 --> 00:10:43,460 So, the ques, the quizzes are designed often to have thought questions. 166 00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:47,830 And so, in the curiosity that goes around solving some of the quiz questions, you 167 00:10:47,830 --> 00:10:53,020 can, can learn some. plagiarism is an important thing in this 168 00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:55,380 course. The place where this pops up is in the 169 00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:59,970 writing part, the peer, the peer grading. And my definition of plagiarism is 170 00:10:59,970 --> 00:11:04,300 basically taking material verbatim. Without sort of re-expressing it and 171 00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:08,500 pasting it in as if it were your own material without attri, attri, 172 00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,800 attribution. So you, you can put a little quote in, 173 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,270 but you gotta put it in quotes, and say blah blah blah blah blah, Winston 174 00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:17,210 Churchill or whatever, okay? So it's, it's not plagiarism to put 175 00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:21,370 something in, it's plagiarism to put something then and claim it as though you 176 00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:24,350 wrote it. The most common thing is people well 177 00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:29,090 start taken paragraphs from Wikipedia and putting them in, and we will mark them 178 00:11:29,090 --> 00:11:31,500 off. We will mark half off, if there's a 179 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:37,270 little bit of plagiarism, and if it's all plagiarize, then you get 10 off. 180 00:11:37,270 --> 00:11:39,910 Now, they are going to be five people grading this. 181 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:43,620 And so you know one person might think it's plagiarism, and if nobody else does 182 00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:47,930 then you know your grade won't be, your grade will reflect what the average, or 183 00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:51,980 what the median person came up with, not what the low person came up with. 184 00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:55,850 So, we also have an honor code in the class, the key that this really has to do 185 00:11:55,850 --> 00:11:59,490 with the final, you're not supposed to give nor get help on the final. 186 00:11:59,490 --> 00:12:02,450 It's open book, it's open notes, it's open network, you can look at the 187 00:12:02,450 --> 00:12:06,620 quizzes, you can look at the the videos, you can do anything you want. 188 00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:10,710 What you can't do is just give the questions to somebody else and ask for 189 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:13,990 the answers from them, or have them take the test for you. 190 00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:16,560 Even on the quiz, you're supposed to pretty much do it yourself, but you can 191 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:20,620 ask people for help if you need some help or clarification on the quiz questions. 192 00:12:20,620 --> 00:12:24,000 Again, the quizzes really are more about learning and the final exam is more about 193 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400 measurement. And like I said, if you get about 75%, 194 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,360 you get a Statement of Accomplishment. There are two levels, one is normal and 195 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,400 one with, with distinction. As I mentioned, 75% and 85%, and the 196 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,960 syllabus has the exact details on how many points given the total number of 197 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,830 points. and that's a Statement of Accomplishment. 198 00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:46,710 And this is at no charge. There is no charge for the Statement of 199 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:50,570 Accomplishment. If you finish, you get this absolutely at 200 00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:55,430 no charge. If, on the other hand, you want something 201 00:12:55,430 --> 00:13:00,010 a little nicer, Coursera has identity verification mechanism. 202 00:13:00,010 --> 00:13:03,000 So, part of the problem with the statement of accomplishment is it says we 203 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,110 did not verify your identity at the very bottom. 204 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:07,239 Just like that lawyer stuff at the very beginning. 205 00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:11,825 And so, this small charge for the signature track is because they're 206 00:13:11,825 --> 00:13:15,279 going to put some effort into. You have to kind of, you know show them 207 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:19,720 your passport on a camera, and they type, they do things to figure out who you are, 208 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,650 and they check to make sure it's you every time a quiz is being taken. 209 00:13:23,650 --> 00:13:27,120 And there's a small charge for this, it's optional, optional, optional. 210 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,500 Do not feel you need to do this. if you want it, great. 211 00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,730 And and if you're in a situation where you can't financially afford it, there's 212 00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:39,334 also scholarships available and you can apply for those at the Coursera site. 213 00:13:39,334 --> 00:13:43,750 Now, this is a way for those who can easily afford it, who really don't care 214 00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:46,694 and have money to spend, it's a way of saying thank you. 215 00:13:46,694 --> 00:13:51,310 I don't exactly how it's going to work. But, someday they tell me, I might get a 216 00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:54,260 tiny bit of the money from this. I mean, most of it's going to go to 217 00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:58,750 Coursera, because they're the ones building all of the servers and stuff 218 00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:01,320 that we're using for this, which is totally awesome. 219 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400 and some of goes to University of Michigan. 220 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,450 And some goes to little old me at some point, right. 221 00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:10,460 And so, so who knows, if you buy one of these things, I might come and buy you a 222 00:14:10,460 --> 00:14:13,475 cup of coffee in office hours in Peru someday. 223 00:14:13,475 --> 00:14:17,080 If I get to Peru, but don't feel any pressure. 224 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,980 I mean it's, it's no big deal. I mean this is aimed at being free. 225 00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:25,550 but if you want, you can do this. So, I love the fact that it's optional. 226 00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:27,800 That's what's beautiful about the signature track. 227 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,850 I don't do anything different for the signature track. 228 00:14:29,850 --> 00:14:32,840 It's not like we have special signature track parties where we all hang out, 229 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,725 like, oh, welcome to the signature track party. 230 00:14:34,725 --> 00:14:39,680 No, it's the same as everybody else. And it's really optional, and it's, it 231 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,000 gives you a little stronger statement that says we have verified the identify 232 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,005 of this person and the name on this certificate is this actual person. 233 00:14:47,005 --> 00:14:50,910 because you could sign up and call yourself Batman. 234 00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:54,630 And that would not be good. but they wouldn't give you a signature 235 00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:58,650 track named Batman, unless you really were the Batman. 236 00:14:58,650 --> 00:15:03,310 Okay, so I hope you get that, optional, optional, optional, it's nice, but 237 00:15:03,310 --> 00:15:07,720 optional. So, given that there's always thousands 238 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,280 of students in the class, it's not really practical to send me direct email. 239 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,100 you may find that you'll catch, there's, like, if you go to drchuck.com, you may 240 00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,110 actually catch me online, or you can talk to me right, interactively. 241 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:23,500 the most reliable way to catch me is on twitter. 242 00:15:24,750 --> 00:15:29,440 If you tweet something with @drchuck in it, usually, unless I'm sitting in a 243 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,940 meeting, like right now, within five to ten minutes I will see it on this. 244 00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:37,010 So, I watch my Twitter very carefully, where I, no matter where I'm at, all 245 00:15:37,010 --> 00:15:39,729 around the world. And if you mention Dr Chuck, I see it. 246 00:15:39,729 --> 00:15:43,505 I want you to contact me if something's wrong, right, if, if question, so what 247 00:15:43,505 --> 00:15:48,784 usually happens is I make a quiz and question three has no right answer. 248 00:15:48,784 --> 00:15:51,856 And you all figure it out really fast, and there's like In the forums, there's 249 00:15:51,856 --> 00:15:55,123 like this, oh, the answer to question three is wrong. 250 00:15:55,123 --> 00:15:58,195 Well, somebody needs to tell me question three is wrong, so tweet like, hey Dr 251 00:15:58,195 --> 00:16:01,614 Chuck, the forums are on fire, question three is wrong. 252 00:16:01,614 --> 00:16:05,818 And I go, whoa, and I go fix it and it's all calmed up. 253 00:16:05,818 --> 00:16:08,506 So, when things are broken in the course, that I can fix, I want to know about it 254 00:16:08,506 --> 00:16:11,432 right away. And that's what Twitter is good for. 255 00:16:11,432 --> 00:16:14,916 Not everyone has to do this in Twitter, but somebody has to notice it and let me 256 00:16:14,916 --> 00:16:17,301 know. So, as I mentioned, in the first couple 257 00:16:17,301 --> 00:16:19,137 weeks we're going to have the registration open, but then we're 258 00:16:19,137 --> 00:16:21,926 going to close it down. You can watch the first lecture or two 259 00:16:21,926 --> 00:16:25,025 and kind of see if you think the course is going to be worthwhile. 260 00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:27,308 And if you think it's cool, then bring people. 261 00:16:27,308 --> 00:16:29,622 That's people to help you work through it. 262 00:16:29,622 --> 00:16:33,575 and so I've tried to make it so that you can join in the first few weeks and still 263 00:16:33,575 --> 00:16:37,903 get all the credit, okay? So, bring your friends, but bring them 264 00:16:37,903 --> 00:16:41,213 early. And if they're too late, then they have 265 00:16:41,213 --> 00:16:44,837 to register for a later one. We also have a Facegroup, Facebook group 266 00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,326 for the class. It's totally optional, I didn't make it. 267 00:16:47,326 --> 00:16:49,948 I don't run it, I post to it every once and awhile. 268 00:16:49,948 --> 00:16:52,654 I don't quite know why people do Facebook groups, but they do and there's one for 269 00:16:52,654 --> 00:16:58,240 this course. And so, we have some materials that I use 270 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,170 in this course that I use with permission, some of the papers that I 271 00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:03,690 give you come from IEEE Computer magazine. 272 00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:07,460 And I have permission to use them within this class that, doesn't mean that you 273 00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:10,330 have permission to republish them, but you're, you're allowed to use them for 274 00:17:10,330 --> 00:17:12,660 the class. Richard Wiggins, my co-host for the 275 00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:16,960 television show, has some materials that I use in class and I have his permission. 276 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,200 And the folks at Open Michigan, open.umich.edu, have helped me in the 277 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,940 copyright clearance of my slides and other course materials, which I think is 278 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:28,520 really good. So, this for me, even though we've done 279 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520 it a couple of times now, is I'm still curious. 280 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,770 I'm still very curious of this form, and so you, please help me, you know, give me 281 00:17:36,770 --> 00:17:38,990 suggestions, tell me how to improve this class. 282 00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:42,820 You know, I you can say it's terrible. That's not too helpful, but if you can 283 00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:46,080 say, you know, this would work better if, and sometimes I'll just send you 284 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,770 questions and say hey, how do you think I could improve x, y, or z? 285 00:17:49,770 --> 00:17:53,750 And so I, I don't think this class is ever at the point where it does not need 286 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:58,970 any more improvement. I'm a big fan of open source software and 287 00:17:58,970 --> 00:18:05,320 open education resources. My slides are creative commons by 288 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,720 attribution, and I give them to you in PowerPoint format, so you can edit them. 289 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280 You can use one of them, you can use all of them. 290 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,850 I really want to help you, if you're possibly a teacher, to be able to reteach 291 00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:18,220 this material, or use parts of this material. 292 00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:20,850 So, I'd be honored if you reused my material. 293 00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:26,280 The course videos are available, yhey're available on YouTube, so you can point to 294 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,396 them. I'll give you later a YouTube, when the 295 00:18:28,396 --> 00:18:31,400 class finishes, I'll give you a YouTube channel that has them all together 296 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,220 bundled up nicely. And if you look you'll see as each 297 00:18:34,220 --> 00:18:36,330 lecture comes up, there's a YouTube link for it. 298 00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:40,950 and it's a violation of Coursera terms to take any of the videos, like the IEEE 299 00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:44,870 video or even my lecture videos. Anything that you get from any of the 300 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:48,790 Coursera class, you're downloading them for your own personal use. 301 00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:53,200 You're not supposed to like, make your own YouTube channel from my, or anyone 302 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,020 else's Coursera course. So, if you If we find that you're, like, 303 00:18:57,020 --> 00:19:00,290 trying to make YouTube channels out of Coursera courses, then you kind of get in 304 00:19:00,290 --> 00:19:03,120 some trouble. So, I do want you to reuse them, right. 305 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:06,770 I want you to, you know, use my stuff in your own classes, but I don't want you to 306 00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:10,490 sort of publish your own YouTube channel that is your version of my class. 307 00:19:10,490 --> 00:19:14,410 And so, so with that, let's go ahead and get started. 308 00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:17,440 And welcome to Internet History, Technology and Security. 309 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,280 And up next, we have our first real live lecture. 310 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,700 Thanks.
