The Course Tools are located at the left. Click
any tool, and it displays at right. Here, I have
selected the Course Content, and it
displays
as the Course Content Home Page at right.
The Course Content Homepage is the main page for
this class.

course for specific information
At first, only the Orientation module opens. You
must complete this module, and pass the quiz
with a 70 or better to proceed. You can take the
quiz as many times as needed, but you must pass
it within the first week.
After passing the Orientation Quiz, the other
modules open. Notice that each module follows a
Chapter in our textbook. And inside each
Learning Module you will find a complete course
calendar, a discussion, a practice quiz, and in
some you will find an assignment.

Look at the calendar. There are 14 copies, one
in each Learning Module. And, there is a special
current calendar displayed on the Course Content
Homepage. It is color-coded for past, present
and future.
It should be obvious that I place importance on
turning items in on time.
The secret to this course is to follow
directions.
You will find your Practice Quizzes and Exams in
the Assessment tool. The practice quizzes are
also shown in the appropriate Learning Module.
NOTE: The Midterm and Final Exams must be taken
at a Testing Center.
Exams are made available for 5 days at all four
Valencia Testing
There is a required class discussion for each
and every Learning Module. You will find
specific instructions on what is required such
as how many other class members' postings you
read; how many you must post; and how many
replies you need to make to others.
There is even grading rubric (table of grading
criteria) that you can access. I will use the
table when I grade.
Here's an example from the orientation
discussion. Note the hand pointing to the
Discussion Form. If you click there, it opens
the grading rubric.
Use the Mail tool to send me ALL E-mails
concerning this class. I check this e-mail
frequently, and will be able to quickly respond
from here.
Only use other e-mail addresses when you cannot
access WebCT.
When you create a message in the Mail window,
you will find an address book by clicking Browse
for Recipients.
In the next window, select the class members you
wish to mail.
Many of your windows will have more information
than you can see in one window. Note the
small page icon at the bottom right. Click on
this icon and change the number to 50 so that
you can scroll down in one long page instead of
moving from page-to-page and scrolling.

Syllabus
Review the syllabus carefully. It covers my
grading criteria, and the policies of this
course. I have placed the Syllabus in the
Orientation Module, and on the Course Tools.
The calendar is also repeated on the Syllabus.
Assignments
Each assignment will have specific instructions
on what is required. Read these carefully. In
addition, I often attach additional information
such as the Word Flyer.pdf shown here from
Project 1.
Download and read these materials.
Assignments
All assignments will have an Add Attachments
button that allows you to upload your work to
me.
In addition, there is a Submit button that
releases the project to me for grading. Always
make sure to both Upload and Submit your work.
Who's Online tool
This is a live chat with anyone else who is
currently online. If you want to communicate
with me, or any other class member, make sure
that your status is selected as
visible/available.
This is an immediate supplement to the Mail
tool.
My Grades tool
You can check your grades using the My Grades
tool. As soon as I grade an assignment, it is
posted and available for you to see.
Note: I also keep your Average (Avg) up-to-date.
