101 Welcome to the class!

.

I began my teaching career at Herkimer County Community College in 1968, and began teaching online in 1997.

The “Course Information” documents in this section provide syllabus information which describe the course requirements and policies. (Overview, Course Reading and Materials, Course Schedule, etc.). Read all of these documents carefully. If you have any questions, ask in the Bulletin Board at the bottom of the Learning Modules tab, and I will get right back to you with a clarification. After reading through all of the Course Information documents you should have a clear picture of my expectations for the course. Feel free to print any of the documents if you are more comfortable with hard copies.

The Learning Modules appear in the Course Map on the right hand side of your screen – and they can also be accessed by clicking on the Learning Modules tab at the top of the screen. The Learning Modules contain the content, reading assignments, and learning activities for the course. The Learning Modules part of the course is where you will “attend class” on a regular basis. You should logon and participate as often as you can – but not less than six times per module. The Course Schedule document lists the start and end dates for the discussion forums in each module, and also lists the dates when you complete the Knowledge Audits.
