Welcome! I look forward to having you in my class!

We are using Canvas as the learning management system for this course, which is an alternative to Blackboard. You will see that there are a lot of similarities to Blackboard, but also some significant differences. It is a very good idea to go through the Canvas Student QuickStart Guide. There is a wide range of additional training available, including video guides. We are learning this LMS together, so please let me know if there are features you like or that you find frustrating.

Please be sure to read through the Syllabus carefully so you are aware of the expectations of the course.

You can keep track of the deadlines for this course in a number of ways. One is by viewing the information from within Canvas, including the following:

Calendar (see the link at top of the page)

The course calendar shows all modules, assignments, and exams in a very useful format. Also, for those using an electronic calendar that supports subscribing to online calendars, you can subscribe to the calendar feed for this course so that the information will be displayed on your calendar. Simply click on the Calendar button at the top of the page and look in the lower right side for your personalized calendar feed.

Assignment List

This will identify key dates for assignments, tests, and surveys - it leaves out all chapter information

Modules List

This refers to the course content that is primarily covered through narrated slides, though there will also be video clips and activities occasionally. Pay attention to the dates, as this course is paced similar to an in person course.
Each module will consist of at least one set of narrated slides and one set of handouts that can be downloaded in pdf format.
