nline courses
require a different mind set than traditional classroom courses. Get in the habit
of browsing online, following links and reading on the computer screen. The more
you look around the easier it will be for you to become accustomed to the way the
course works. You must read instructions carefully and ask questions if you do not
understand. If you have questions at any time, ask them, don't wait until it's too
late. Send e-mail to the instructor, or ask other students in the class.
If you are a registered student don't forget to check in via e-mail. You must do this by
the end of the broadcast date of Program 3 in order to earn credit for the course.
Be sure that your e-mail address is valid and that you have space to receive mail.
After you check in you will receive a message from the instructor. Shortly after
the course begins you will receive a mailing list of the class members. You can send
mail to the entire list, or to individual students. The extent to which you interact
with other students is up to you but we encourage you to get to know your classmates. Thedue dates page lists
due dates for exams and labs throughout the semester. Use this to plan your workload
for the course.
The information page tells you how to submit
responses, how and when to take exams, and other important and interesting information. The labs page links to the six laboratory
exercise and shows the due dates for the completion and submission of the labs. Check
it early in the course and note the due dates. The links page contains links to other sites
which contain other interesting information. You may find these useful throughout
the course or as starting points for your research paper. If you find an interesting
link relating to physical science, please send
the URL to me. These links are good starting points for exploration or for the
end-of-the semester research paper.On the broadcast
schedule page you will find the dates of the broadcast of each of the thirty
programs as well as links to the corresponding program study guides.
Be sure to read the syllabus
carefully. It is your first reading assignment and the instructor will assume that
you have read it and understand it. If there is something you do not understand ask now, don't wait until it's too late. The study guides are summaries of
the video programs along with questions and objectives for each lesson. You can access
each study guide from the broadcast schedule
or from the study guide page. If you have a slow link
you may want to use the text only study guide page. The TV
text page will take you to a menu where you can view and print the verbatim text
from all thirty TV programs.
