ADA Statement Atlanta Metropolitan State College is committed to providing support for all students and making their college experiences an enriching opportunity. In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The Office of Disability Services located on the second floor of the Academic Building in Room 228 oversees the coordination of services for students with documented disabilities. The Coordinator of Disability Services collaborates with faculty and staff to offer provisions for reasonable accommodations to students who meet the requirements. It is the policy and practice of AMSC to make all Web information accessible to students with disabilities. If you, as a student with a disability, have difficulty accessing any part of the course materials for this class, please notify the instructor immediately and contact the Office of Disability Services.

Are you a kinesthetic learner? Take the Learning Styles Inventory: library.cuesta/distance/lrnstyle.htm to get an idea of how you learn best and what you can do to maximize your learning. In addition to learning the material presented, you are also expected to maintain a friendly atmosphere in the online classroom. Defamatory postings and emails are NOT permitted in this environment. Following simple "netiquette" guidelines will help you to avoid creating a negative learning environment. 1. Do not type in ALL CAPS. Many people perceive this as yelling when online. 2. Remember that the written word can seem harsher than a spoken statement because visual clues are absent. For instance, if I verbally call you a "Knucklehead" while smiling and winking you are less likely to be offended than if I write that in an email with no visual clues as the to the fact that I am teasing you! 3. Try using emoticons such as :-) ;-) etc to let people know you are being light hearted. It seems silly but it helps to lighten the mood. 4. Always put something in the subject of email messages and discussion postings. 5. READ the syllabus, discussion postings, and email messages before asking a question. In many cases the question will have already been addressed. 6. Become an aggressive, mature and self-starter type of learner. ATTENDANCE/PARTICIATION POLICY Students in an online course are expected to login EACH DAY. Please remember that if you only do the minimum don't ask me why you didn't get a better grade at the end of the semester. My recommendation for doing well in this course is to login daily (on weekdays) to check for new discussions, emails, announcements, etc. You MUST read the chapters and supplemental materials, view the PowerPoint Lectures and videos, and participate in Online Discussions. Students who fail to login for 7 days will be denied access to the course and must contact me through my AMSC email to explain why they have not been in class and to regain access to the materials. 8 If you are having trouble please contact me and talk with me rather than simply no longer participating online. I want you to succeed in this course and have a positive, lasting and meaningful online learning experience. When responding to discussion questions your response must be well thought out and of academic interest. A response of simply "I agree" or the like will not be counted as a response. DISCUSSIONS Questions that are of importance to everyone in the class may be posted to the appropriate discussion topic. Posting to the discussion boards allows all students in the class to see the answer. Irrelevant and non-course related postings will not be tolerated. RESPONSE TIME I will respond within 2 business days (Monday thru Friday) to all email and discussion postings unless I inform you of any exceptions. I will expect the same response time from you! Please do not expect a response during holidays and weekends. ACADEMIC HONESTY Please see the student handbook for this policy. You ARE NOT permitted to use any materials or assistance from other people for the Online Exams. Long-Term Emergency Closure of the College: Plan for Continuation of Instruction In the event of an emergency that forces the college to close for an extended period, students must contact the instructor of this class within 48 hours using the contact information (e., email address, VISTA 8 Access Code or telephone number) on the syllabus to obtain directions for continuing the course. The instructor will provide directions for the transmission and submission of course assignments and course assessments, including due dates. The student is responsible for submitting valid, accurate contact information, including an active AMSC email address to the instructor by the end of the first week of the course. Students can obtain an Atlanta Metropolitan State College Student email address in the Center for Academic Success on the third floor of the Library Building. If the instructor for the course cannot be reached within the specified period of time (within 48 hours), the chair of the division responsible for the course can be reached at the email address posted on the college’s website. 10 Students are expected to actively participate and contribute to class discussions. The professor serves as facilitator of class discussions in which there is a respectable exchange of ideas and questions. Additionally, submit all written assignments on the due date, and complete reading assignments before class. The instructor reserves the right to provide short “reading quizzes” as a method of evaluating student’s preparation. Methods of Assessment Course Grade: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
