ITI- Electronic Commerce.
Fall 2004 Paul Kantor
This syllabus shows activities along four
parallel streams: Economics, the Project, Commerce, and Communication plus
"All Other activities". The schedule is shown in weeks. During Fall 2004our course began Thursday, so the two parts of a
"week" are the Thursday and the following Tuesday. Generally the Exercises are due on a Tuesday , while the shorter "finding" assignments are due on a Thursday. However,
you may want to start your reading or searching early to make the Thursday assignment
easier to do.
