Calvin and Hobbes Cartoon

Posted on March 3rd, 2014 by

Copyright is the right of the owner to reproduce or permit someone else to use copyrighted works. Things that can be copyrighted include articles, pictures, lyrics, sound recordings, etc. The Calvin and Hobbes cartoon images placed in page headers of the syllabus do violate copyright regulations. This is because the editor of the syllabus page did not create this cartoon image, which means that the editor would need permission from the owner before you are able to copy it onto the web page. If you use an image on your web that you did not create, you have to get permission from the owner. On the weekly schedule page, there are no indications that the editor asked for permission to use this cartoon.

About me

My name is Elizabeth Ebert and I am currently a freshman here at George Mason. Someday, I hope to become an elementary school teacher because working with kids is one of my passions. I also love to swim, which is why I joined the swim team here at Mason.

I signed up for this class to fulfill one of my IT requirements in order to move on with other classes related to my major. I do not have much experience with technology and the web. I use the web for looking up information, whether it has to do with school work or just something I may be curious of. I use my laptop a lot to go on social media websites such as Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and to check my email. I also use it for typing notes for my classes. I don’t have a kindle or a nook, so when I read, which is usually in the summertime, I have the physical book in my hand.

I always have my phone with me. I usually text some of my friends from home throughout the day and I use it to keep in touch with my family, whether that is through texting, phone calling, or face timing. I prefer texting though! Also, I use my phone for playing games when I have a lot of free time. A few apps I like are fruit ninja, temple run, and snapchat. However, I rarely play games on my phone because I am usually busy.
