Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials |
While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the
ISBN number available through the course's academic department
where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore
and our online bookstore,
guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link
below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have

Other Information about the Course |
Each week, students will be provided with a list of specific learning objectives -- including a study board, a list of vocabulary, practice essay questions, and self tests. Students are required to complete the weekly assigned readings and participate in class discussions. There will be one grade assigned for class participation. It will be based on the quality of your responses to the weekly discussion questions. Individual questions will be handled by Canvas messaging.
There will be one required museum trip for the paper assignment. Details will be provided.
Students will be tested on the course content. Three proctored exams will be required and can be taken at any of the BCCC Testing Centers during normal walk-in hours. Exams generally consist of identifications, short answers, and essay questions. Each exam will be drawn from a large bank of possible questions; therefore, no two exams will be alike. Each exam will be available for an entire week, from Monday through Saturday. There are no makeup exams during the semester. |
