Why is this information hidden?
Well, we have given enough
information in the main page for assignments
http://www.witiger.com/senecacollege/BCS555/assignment555.htm
explaining the assignment
for anyone to do well, but for those people who are curious and like to
poke around web sites to see if there is anything else there (which is
what you are encouraged to do by the professor), you will be rewarded by
finding this link.
Secondly, this is 5th semester
course - some things have to be difficult !!; [this is not high school]
we are not intending to give you everything in this course, some things
have to be earned and learned independently.
By virtue of finding this page, you will be rewarded not only with this information, but also with the subsequent encouragement to further go hunting around web sites more thoroughly to see other gems that can be found.
Keep in mind, web sites are put together by humans, not robots, and as such they are vulnerable to eccentricities and egos, such as placing hidden pics, links and other info for the amusement of the author - knowing this can give you an advantage.
Below, you'll see a layout of information which I will use in evaluating this case study assignment - in fact, I'll be printing out this page and attaching it to every case study when I hand it back so the authors will know exactly how I measured their efforts.
