Expectations:

I check my cuesta emails on Tuesday, and Thursday 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. We will have weekly online meetings on Tuesday to disseminate information, help and address questions.

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. Canvas has communication tools in which you can share questions, and ideas with other course participants via the discussion forums and groups. However if you have specific questions for me then please email me directly at drepucci@cuesta.edu since that is the platform I check on a regular basis

Class opens / Accessing Canvas:

Prior to the Tuesday classes start August 18th, 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, 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 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 direction on the course home page.

If you are having difficulty logging into Canvas after August 12th and need assistance please email technical support at this email address: support@instructure.com

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 a minimal 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 online using Canvas, online labs and downloadable programs; all coursework (discussions, assignments, quizzes) is submitted online. For the first few weeks of the course we will have mandatory Tuesday meetings 4:30-7:00 pm. Please be prepared to spend 8 - 12 hours per week on coursework for this class
