On-Campus Requirements

There are no requirements to attend on-campus meetings. All assignments are completed online and emailed to me as attachments each week. Quizzes will be available online at College of the Redwoods Blackboard site.

Student Requirements

Since all documents are created using Word 2007 software and submitted electronically via email, you must have the following available to you prior to the first day of class:

1.       Word 2007 software

2.       Internet access (high speed recommended)

3.       Current email address

Computer Set-Up and Skills

Online courses require adequate computer skills. You should be able to navigate websites, open and download files, create folders, and email attachments. It is the student’s responsibility to meet the technological demands of the course.

Online Commitment

Students in an online class must be self-motivated and able to work independently. Your commitment will require the same amount of time as you would dedicate to a traditional on-campus class.

Waitlist Policy

Registration is easiest online using web advisor. I do not have a waitlist. If the class is closed, please do not contact me; you must add the class through the College.

Accommodations

If you need accommodations to succeed in this online class, you should contact Disabled Student Services on the College of the Redwoods campus.

Classroom “Time”

This online class requires weekly participation consistent with the College semester schedule. The class will be available any hour with no requirements to participate at any given time. Each week’s assignment is given a deadline for submission, and points will be deducted for late assignments.

Getting Started

On or shortly after the College’s first day of class, go to the Blackboard login site at http://www.redwoods.edu

Log in to your Blackboard account following the directions given. Check Blackboard Personal Information to make sure your email address is current and correct as this is my primary method for contacting you. (If I don’t have your correct email address, you won’t receive the emails that I send prior to and during the semester.)

I will send an email one or two weeks prior to the first day of class.
