Welcome!

Instructor:

Denae Boggs MA, LMFT

Semester Duration:

8/17/20 through 12/18/20

Contact information:

Email Address: denae_boggs@cuesta.edu

Phone Number: email is best during the COVID-19 situation

Office Location/ Hours: SLO campus, Office #4040; email to arrange phone or virtual communication

Instructor Contact Expectations:

The best and fastest way to contact me is email. During the semester, I will generally respond to your emails within 24 hours during weekdays only. During busy times of the semester, the response time may increase to 48 hours. On weekends, I will do my best to get back to you ASAP, but I cannot guarantee an expeditious response.

Course Environment:

This online course will be using a Web-based Learning Management System Canvas as the method to disseminate information. Canvas provides the framework for the course including PowerPoint presentations, student data files, the tools to receive and send course materials, and a grade book. Using the communication tools, you can communicate using e-mail, and you can share materials and ideas with other course participants via the discussion forums and groups.

Class Opens / Accessing Canvas:

Class opens on 8/17/20 and closes on 12/18/20. On the first day of the semester, 8/17, you will receive an email to your my.Cuesta.edu address providing you with a reminder about the start of class and log in procedures for Canvas, the learning management system (LMS) used to deliver course content. You can access Canvas by logging into MyCuesta, then clicking on the Resources Tab, then clicking on Canvas in the Online Learning Channel, or by typing https://cuesta.instructure.com/ into your browser address bar. Do not bookmark / favorite the canvas site after your login, or you will get an error message next time you try to log in. You must access the canvas log in directly.

If you are not familiar with logging into canvas, please refer to the Canvas Quick Reference Guide. Once logged into Canvas you will be directed on where to get started. Be sure to read all the direction on the course home page.

If you are having difficulty logging into Canvas after the semester begins and need assistance please email me or technical support at support@my.cuesta.edu.

Online Learning:

If you have never taken an online class or this is your first experience with Canvas, please be patient with yourself. Online classes are not inherently easier, although they may be much more convenient for many students. You should expect to spend at least as much time, if not more on this course as you would on a course that meets face to face. Since there is no lecture component, much of this time will be self-directed and there will be a substantial amount of reading, viewing, studying, and writing required. This course is completely online using Canvas; all coursework (discussions, assignments, quizzes) is submitted online. There are no face-to-face meetings. Please be prepared to spend 6 - 9 hours per week on coursework for this class

IS an ONLINE CLASS FOR YOU?

• First of all, go to the Online Readiness Resources and take the "self assessment " and review all the resources that were designed to help you understand the basis for an online class and the skills necessary for success. (If the tutorials do NOT describe you, then taking this class online is NOT for you and I strongly suggest that you drop the online class and enroll in a traditional classroom section.)

Regular Effective Contact Policy:

Regular and Effective Instructor Contact will be met through weekly instructor initiated threaded discussion forums; weekly announcements to students; timely and effective feedback on student assignments; email, phone or messaging to individuals; and office hours.

Course Description:

Scrutinizes sociological, psychological and cross-cultural concepts of intimate relationships and the family unit. Focuses on diversity within and the development of committed relationships and the family unit. Emphasizes intimacy dynamics, communication processes, and assessment of functionality and wellness.

Student Learning Outcomes:

1. Articulate and apply the terminology, fundamental concepts and theoretical perspectives necessary to explain intimacy dynamics within the family life cycle, and one’s own intimacy patterns, biases and evolving experiences

2. Describe the elements of scientific methodology and the common research designs used by psychologists to study the family system

3. Identify and critique cultural biases regarding concepts of love, marriage and the family

4. Apply critical thinking skills while engaging in verbal and/or written discussions, and in completing course assignments

Text Book and Materials:

• Marriages & Families; 9th edition; Olsen, DeFrain, Skogrand; 2019. Students need a hard copy or e-book version of the textbook; Connect will not be used for this course

To enhance your learning experience and provide affordable access to the right course material, this course is part of an inclusive access model called First Day™. You can easily access the required materials for this course at a discounted price, and benefit from single sign-on access with no codes required in Canvas.

Cuesta College will bill you at the discounted price as a course charge for this course. Your course materials may be accessed digitally through your Canvas account either on or before the first day of class. Although an optional print copy of the book is available at the campus bookstore, NO other purchase is necessary. Your course material charge is included in your student registration / fees and guarantees the lowest cost available for your required materials.

It is NOT recommended that you Opt-Out, as these materials are required to complete the course. You can choose to Opt-Out on the first day of class, but you will be responsible for purchasing your course materials at the full retail price and access to your materials may be suspended.
