How is this course organized:
|
|
|
|
Students
are responsible for all the information in the chapters indicated on the
Topical Outline – unless stated otherwise. Students
taking this course are self-learners
and are motivated to complete and
submit assignments on time. Think
of me as a guide, to get you through the class. All the resources at FCC are available to
you. Everyone at FCC wants you to be
successful. I believe this on-line learning
environment can be positive and enriching.
However, this requires interaction between everyone. I expect students to solve problems among
themselves with only guidance from me.
I strongly encourage everyone to voluntary interact within the
Discussion Board. Sharing our ideas by
posting threaded discussions will help all of us learn. It is imperative you continuously work on this course. If something occurs
and you are at a standstill, read your book, or apply other learning
activities, to avoid getting behind.
There is always something you can do – Stay busy. |
