Attendance Policy:

 

Students are required to make e-mail contract with the instructor at least once a week.  Students must have completed all assignments on, or before, July 25, 2009.

 

Introductory Information on Getting Started:

 

A.  Print out a copy of the course syllabus and this schedule of assignments.  It is always wise to keep a copy of the information handy “just in case” you are away from your computer and need to access these documents.

B.  Begin with Chapter one and continue in sequential order.  The material in the book begins with the basics and builds upon itself.  Skipping around from one section to another generally does not benefit the learner.

C.  Take an hour or so to practice navigating the site and use the handbook online for specific help in using the website.

D.  Record your username and password in a safe place.  Both entries are necessary to login to the course site and to take quizzes and tests online.

E.  Bookmark the login page so that you can quickly enter and exit the “classroom” at your convenience.

 

Notes:

 

Remember this class must be finished in eight weeks from your class start date.  Create and set aside a time schedule that works best for you—and stick to that schedule as close as possible, so that you can pace yourself and easily meet your deadlines.  You should consider that each week you should complete the work associated with two full chapters of instruction.

 

Communications:

 

Your instructor will respond to your e-mails as quickly as possible, mostly within 24 to 48 hours.  However, weekends and holidays may cause your response to take slightly longer.  The instructor reserves the right to alter the syllabus.

 

 

 

Students with Disabilities

 


FCC provides reasonable accommodations to otherwise qualified students with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and amendments.  Students with disabilities who are in need of accommodations must contact the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office at 301-846-2408 (A Building, Room 106A) in order to request and apply for services.  The SSD office will require appropriate documentation of a disability.  Questions related to accommodations or services can be directed to the SSD office.  Additional information related to services can be viewed at the following FCC web page: 
http://www.frederick.edu/student_services/disability.aspx. 

If you currently receive services from the SSD office, please submit your Student Success Plan to me and make an appointment with me to discuss your accommodations and needs in class.  I will hold any information you share with me in strict confidence unless you give me permission to do otherwise.
