You will read and discuss material through the medium of threaded discussions. There are some rules to this interaction. You may attack a concept but never the person who makes the observation or contribution. In addition to threaded discussions, you may contact each other or the instructor by email. Assignments and tests are completed online.
Additional websites provide supplemental material relevant to the topics.
The student should check the Web site when starting a new unit. Each unit has time deadlines, which are further outlined in the Timeline at the end of the syllabus or in the Timeline section. You will read the lectures, or view the PowerPoint presentation, read the assignments in the textbook, check and answer the discussion questions. You should check your email regularly. A classmate may have a question or a response that will prompt a further response from you.
