Course add/drop:

You must log into the course the first day, or you may be dropped from the course. I need confirmation that you will be taking the course so that I can add students who are waiting!

Course Environment:

This online course will be using Canvas as the method to disseminate information using Modules. Modules are designed for the student to complete the information in a specific order. You will be going through one Module a week. The course includes PowerPoint presentations, discussion groups, and communication tools such as email and zoom. You will be turning in your assignments through Canvas.

Class opens / Accessing Canvas:

Prior to the Monday class start date you will receive an email to your my.Cuesta.edu address providing you with a reminder that class will be starting and log in procedures for Canvas. 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 the Canvas address (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 directions on the course home page.

If you are having difficulty logging into Canvas when the term begins and need assistance, please email me or technical support at this email address: support@my.cuesta.edu.

Computer and Class Requirements:

You must have access to a computer (Online/Canvas system requirements). A Chromebook can be problematic when trying to listen to audio lectures which accompany the slides. You should not attempt to take this class on a cell phone.
Cuesta college email account
Reliable Internet connection. You will also need to have a backup plan in case your internet provider or computer goes down. All practical assignments and tests will be submitted to me via the assignment dropbox or Turnitin.
It is also essential that you understand the basic concepts of email, web navigation and online communication to succeed in this course.
Before class begins you should make sure to download Microsoft 365 for viewing PowerPoint lectures and to turn in assignments with Word. You may use Microsoft 365 for free while you are a Cuesta College student. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/office
If you aren't sure that you are ready to take an online class, please go to the Online Readiness site and take the "self-assessment survey"then read "Your Results". (If that survey does 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).

ONLINE MODALITY: CANVAS

Canvas is our Online Modality for this Course.

Participation

Online classes are available and make your education experience more convenient. However, this is not a self-pace, learn on your own class. This is a 3-unit college level course which translate to roughly 12-15 hours a week in lecture and homework. I have structured weeks with material for you to read, watch and interact with. I expect you to log into class at least 2 days a week, but more is better.

Please recognize that an online class does require just as much time as a traditional face to face course. If you were taking this class face-to-face, you would be in class 9 hours a week. It is very important that you keep up with the readings, assignments, quizzes, tests, discussions, etc. Once you get behind it can be a challenge to catch up in this course. Late assignments will receive reduced credit.

Drop Policy

As stated in the Class Schedule: “Normal progress and successful completion of scholastic work depends upon regular attendance.” You are ultimately responsible for dropping yourself, however, I will drop students for non-participation.

DSPS Statement:

This course design is with an accessible Learning Management System. Course materials are prepared with ADA compliance in mind.

Please contact Disabled Student Services & Programs at Building 3300 (546-3148) on SLO Campus or on North Campus (591-6215) to coordinate reasonable accommodations for documented disabilities.

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

It is my intent that students from all diverse backgrounds and perspectives be well-served by this course, that students' learning needs be addressed both in and out of class, and that the diversity of culture students bring here be viewed as a resource, strength, and benefit. It is my intent to present materials and activities that are respectful of diversity: gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, and culture. Your suggestions are encouraged and appreciated. Please let me know ways to improve the effectiveness of the course for you personally, or for other students or student groups.
