Effective Spring 2025

STATEMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS

This course will involve both lecture and online discussion.  You must have a Webcam to complete assignments in order to meet required Student Learning Outcomes.  You are expected to create and upload your videos prior to required deadlines. Start early in case you have issues. You’ll also get video links to view.

A typical week will involve 20-50 pages of reading, class discussion, and in-class collaborative work. 

Various homework assignments will be due approximately every week, and a paper will be due every week.  There is one midterm and a final exam.

Course Usage of Canvas

Copies of the course syllabus, course calendar, and assignments are posted on Canvas.  You are responsible for regularly checking Canvas, which is accessed at http://online.shastacollege.edu/

 Online Interaction: It is recommended that you check your Canvas message, class announcements, and module discussions regularly (5 out of 7 days per week). To be successful you must keep up with the timeline and required work each week. Students who fail to log into the course and participate in required activities by the end of the first week will be dropped from the course.  Any student adding the course late, with my approval, must still complete ALL PRIOR WORK IN 1 WEEK. Any student who will not be able to log into the course for an extended amount of time must contact me at least one week prior to the absence in order to make arrangements to complete assignments early.
