Orientation(s) |
Orientation for this course is REQUIRED.
Failure to participate in a REQUIRED orientation, as specified below, may jeopardize your grade. |
|
OnlineYour instructor will hold the orientation online using self-paced tools, email and/or discussions. (A self-paced orientation does NOT mean the entire course is self-paced.) You should plan to access your online course no later than the first day of the session. Failure to do so may jeopardize your grade.
Other Orientation Information
Orientation will be via documents posted on the course’s Canvas home page, accessible on the first day of class. Navigation for the course is straight forward. I highly recommend that students purchase the text book and lab book before the course opens. (Please note that the lab book for this eLearning course is specific for this course.) They will be helpful for the orientation and allow you to begin the class immediately; remember this is a 6 week course and things move quickly. |

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

where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore

guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Other Information about the Course |
The on-line version of Biol. 122 will include lecture slides, various videos, participation in Biology Labs On Line, practice exams, audio exam reviews, and quizzes and activities in Connect. Connect is the text book based web site. All of the exams will be taken in a Testing Center located on any one of the Buck's campuses. Other arrangements are possible for students who do not live near campus. They must be discussed with me and made in advance and are the responsibility of the student. Remember, the online orientation audio and accompanying documents are very important. |
