Our class meets on Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 9:15 in Room 244B of the Lone Mountain building at USF.  Room 244B is on the second floor in the east Wing.

The USF Lone Mountain Campus is on the North side of Turk Street between Masonic and Parker. Enter via the curved driveway (opposite Temescal St.), drive up to the booth at the top of the hill. The person in the booth should have a parking pass for you that allows you to park in the lot at the top of the hill (if they don't have a pass for you, pay to park and I will reimburse you).

The classroom is equipped with a PC (with Internet access) and a video projector. There is also an overhead projector and a blackboard.

This class includes students from twelve countries: France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States.

Students spent an average of 11 hours surfing the Web in the week before our first class.  48% of the students have created Web sites.
