2 Cal Poly fosters teaching, scholarship, and service in a learn-by-doing environment in which students, staff, and faculty are partners in discovery.

3 As a polytechnic university, Cal Poly promotes the application of theory to practice. As a comprehensive institution, Cal Poly provides a balanced education in the arts, sciences, and technology, while encouraging crossdisciplinary and co-curricular experiences. As an academic community, Cal Poly values free inquiry, cultural and intellectual diversity, mutual respect, civic engagement, and social and environmental responsibility.

8 Scientific Method 1) Ask a Question: Who, What, When, Where, and Why? In order for the scientific method to answer a research question it typically must be about something we can measure - classically with a number or value. 2) Do Background Research: Instead of starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering the "research question", we want to be savvy scientists using library and peerreviewed research to help find the best way to do things and insure we don't repeat mistakes from the past. 3) Construct a Hypothesis: A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work: "If [I do this], then [this] will happen." 4) Test the Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment: The experiment tests whether the hypothesis is true or false. 5) Analyze the Data and Draw a Conclusion: Once the experiment is complete, collect the measurements and analyze them to see if the hypothesis is true or false. 6) Communicate the Results: Communicating results is now a multimedia event: print, presentation, video and web.

11 Critical Thinking

12 Cal Poly University Learning Outcomes 1. Think critically and creatively 2. Communicate effectively 3. Demonstrate expertise in a scholarly discipline and understand that discipline in relation to the larger world of the arts, sciences, and technology 4. Work productively as individuals and in groups 5. Use their knowledge and skills to make a positive contribution to society 6. Make reasoned decisions based on an understanding of ethics, a respect for diversity, and an awareness of issues related to sustainability 7. Engage in lifelong learning

13 The Association of American Colleges and Universities concludes this annual report recommending that higher education in the 21st Century must shift from a longstanding tradition of remembering facts to a focus on developing abilities for finding and evaluating information, practicing creative problem-solving, engaging in more flexible learning formats, promoting team work and adaptability, and developing high-level critical thinking skills in students. (AACU, 2011)

14 Higher education graduates who are able to display critical thinking skills and who possess critical thinking dispositions will be more prepared to enter the job market as overwhelming research indicates that 21 st Century employers are increasingly seeking applicants with strong critical thinking abilities. (Facione, Giancarlo & Gainen, 2010)

70 But with the Dreamweaver we don t need to know HTML, right?

71 Not so fast... Dreamweaver can now write the HTML for us while we stay in Design View. So why is understanding HTML important? Dreamweaver s Design View is CLUNKY Basic knowledge of HTML will allow us to fix the problems created in the Design View Basic knowledge of HTML can and will dramatically speed up your productivity

72 HTML Documents HTML = HyperText Markup Language Nearly ALL content on the web is HTML content HTML describes the web content HTML documents are called web pages HTML documents are made up of Markup tags & plain text

73 So what ARE HTML tags?

74 HTML Tags HTML tags are key words surrounded by angle brackets HTML tags normally come in pairs The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

76 HTML DOCUMENTS

77 HTML DOCUMENTS HTML tags rendered in a browser

78 Structure of an HTML Document An HTML document is structured into three parts

79 Structure of an HTML Document Dreamweaver makes it easy to create this content for us!

84 Common HTML Tags Title of the HTML document, appears in the brower Section headings Paragraph Text Text to be emphasized with italics Text to be displayed with strong emphasis (bold) Unordered list (A bullet will precede each list item) Ordered list (A number (1) will precede each list item) Individual item in a list Defines a link to another document or website (hyperlink) Inserts a picture into the document
