WELCOME, WINNERS!

Welcome to Fundamentals of Multimedia Technology!

This is an unconventional classroom with out of this world students, and an awesome teacher, of course  ^_^. We will explore the world of endless possibilities, and hopefully get some learning going on while having loads of fun!

Before we begin, here are some "RULES" that both you and I agree must not be broken. Although fun is the game, but traditional values stay the same :)

1. I love Facebook, don't you? Therefore, NO FACEBOOKING in class. Deal?
2. It is so much easier not to reinvent the wheel, so copying is so tempting. NO PLAGIARISM. Deal?
3. If only we had more time to deal with everything that goes on in this ever-fulfilling life, like probably 25 hours in a day... oh well.. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS. Deal?

Now that's over with, here's your guide for the semester....
