Getting Started With This Course

Orientation(s)
Orientation for this course is recommended.
Online

Your 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
Students will be required to take an online orientation quiz within the course space on the first day of classes in order for the course to open to them in its entirety. Students will be required to review the course format, course schedule, and all assignments and are encouraged to contact the instructor within the Canvas course space with any questions. There will be no face-to-face orientation. Please contact the bookstore for information on the required text prior to the start of the semester.
Accessing Your Course

Publisher's Website
