Before the next meeting, please think about the following question: What knowledge and skills should incoming students possess before starting your course? Some sample getting-started observations are below:

<u>Coming into INT222 / BTI220</u>

Using software on a personal computer (which prepares them to use an editor, a browser, and a file transfer program)

Problem-solving abilities

Good language comprehension (to be able to formulate a problem into a solution, or at least a solution approach)

( looking for help here... )

<u>Coming into INT422 / BTI420</u>

( some students know, and can do, some of these, but most couldn't, coming into Winter 2012 BTI420... )

Conceptual knowledge of a request lifecycle
