The second environment is Infotrac College Edition's online library where students can conduct supplemental research for their midterm and final essays. In addition to registering for the course through Edmonds Community College , students new to TopClass need to follow the instructions for first time users . Along with each student's textbook is an access code that can be used to access Infotrac. Failure to access these online environments on one's own initiative during the first few days of class may seriously jeopardize students' likelihood for successful completion of the course. In addition to these key online environments, students will be expected to utilize browser search engines to find creationist sites on the World Wide Web that they can utilize for critical analysis in research essays.
Students have six key responsibilities.
After completing each lab students must submit a lab report that outlines three new things learned from the lab to the appropriate discussion folder in TopClass. These will be available from your home page by clicking on course materials. Complete one assigned Infotrac exercise per each chapter. The exercises are listed at the end of each chapter of Jurmain, et al. and the assignments will be posted each week in the discussion folders. Complete one assigned internet exercise per each chapter.
