THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULT OF ANY EDUCATION

Is the ability to do what has to be done, when it has to be done, whether you want to do it or not.

Welcome

How to Begin:

1. You will have to register for the class. See the college SPRING 2021 Course Catalog for instructions.

2. Although this is a Campus Course, you will be required to access our online classroom to participate in taking weekly quizzes that cover each week's presented material. You will also be taking both the Midterm and Final Exam online. There will be PDF files covering each week's PowerPoint presentation (seen on campus) that will progressively be available for your review and study during the course of the semester.

3. Your internet connect should be at minimum DSL. Those that have attempted this course on Dial-up speeds became fairly frustrated quite quickly at both download and upload times.

4. BE PREPARED to spend a good percentage of your time within the online classoom and studying your text throughout the course. It is not designed to be a hard course, but it will require a commitment.

5. You will have to LOGIN to CANVAS in order to access online material. Canvas is a web-based course management tool accessed through the Internet. You do not have to download Canvas. The program is password protected, which means that you must login. Access is available only to students who are officially enrolled through the Admissions and Records Office
