Call for participation - CMPS|EECE 598 section 005: Web-based IT Entrepreneurship

Dear CACS students:

Through lectures, invited talks and student projects, "Web-based IT Entrepreneurship" (section-005, CMPS 598 or EECE 598) is designed to address important topics that are relevant to IT entrepreneurship, especially in the Web 2.0 era. Emphases are on creating awareness and experience to the process of IT entrepreneurship, and on a few issues that are usually not apparent to new, inexperienced entrepreneurs who have scientific or engineering background.

Students who will take the class should be passionate to "Web-based IT Entrepreneurship" (or some specific part of it), have reasonable experience with Web programming, and are committed to vigorously participate in class. The instructors will try their best to make the class useful and interesting at the same time.

IMPORTANT: The instructors will also work as much hard to recognize good work and discourage and punish unhealthy or unethical behaviors, such as free riding, cheating, improper copying and so on.

As an experimental and highly interactive class, students will have significant impact on the success of the class. Teamwork should be expected.
If you are passionate and are willing to spend reasonable amount of effort, join the adventure! The syllabus is available at http://cmps598.blogspot.com/2008/06/syllabus.html. Feel free to post your comments. We will try to make it open, an "Web 2.0 class".

Regards,

Zonghuan Wu and Vijay Raghavan
