Contents of chapters may include: • PowerPoints for every chapter • Videos dealing with the content of that chapter • *Supplementary and sample materials to help with information covered in that chapter • Links to any assignment, project or discussion that must be completed for that chapter • Links to the quiz or exam for that chapter.
3. Get organized - please get an ‘old fashioned three ring binder (portfolio) for this class and take your own notes on each chapter, print your notes, PowerPoints, sample and supplementary materials and then put them in the portfolio organized by chapter title. This will make it easier to study for the quizzes and exams. 4. Read the Textbook before attempting the quizzes and exams. Use a highlighter and highlight important material in the book. Please read the book (either the E-Text or custom text or the full-version of the textbook.) You will not be able to be successful in this course without READING the book. 5. Take the Quizzes and the Exams by the HIGHLY SUGGESTED due dates. There are nineteen (19) quizzes – one for each chapter. Each 30 minute quiz has 10 multiple choice or true/false questions. You will have UNLIMITED ATTEMPTS at the quizzes. Only your highest quiz score will be counted into your grade. Each quiz is worth 10 points for a total of 190 points. Please take these ‘Randomized’ quizzes over and over for practice. The more you take the quizzes the more familiar you will become with the material and the better you will do on the exam. The quizzes can be accessed through the ‘Chapter Content’ or from the ‘Quizzes’ tab. There are six (6) exams for this class. Each 120 minute exam has 50 multiple choice and/or true/false questions. You will have ONLY ONE ATTEMPT at the exams. 6. Come to Class: Experience has shown that there is a high correlation between regular class attendance, punctuality, and good grades. Therefore, it is expected that you will attend ALL classes except for medical reasons or other emergencies. You start the class with 100 points for your attendance grade. If you miss a class and your absence is unexcused, your attendance grade will lowered 5 points for each unexcused absence. Even though you may be absent you are still responsible for all material assigned, completed and/or discussed in class. Attendance requirements for students receiving VA benefits are governed by VA Regulations, Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations. 7. Participate in Discussions: Although this class meets once a week and I anticipate that most of our questions will be answered in class, I have included an area under discussions for “Course Questions.” Please feel free to ask and answer each other’s course questions there. Please attempt to answer other students’ questions. Your answer may help another student. I will check the ‘Discussions’ and always attempt to answer as soon as

possible. There is also another area called ‘The Student Lounge’ for discussions of a general nature such as: who got a new job, or what is going on Friday night.
Please be respectful, considerate and polite in your email and discussions. 8. View the PowerPoint Slides for the Chapter. There are PowerPoint slides for each chapter and they are a very good summary of the important points of the chapter.

If you still have trouble opening the PowerPoint slides, please see the “FAQ’s” in under the “Content” tab or call the Online Helpdesk at (386) 506-3950. It is very important however that you do not rely only on the PowerPoint slides to get information from the chapter. YOU MUST READ THE BOOK!

You are always expected to check spelling, use correct punctuation, and properly cite your sources. Please leave the text message abbreviations on your phone. If you have a question regarding the course material, post the question in the Discussion Forum ‘Course Questions.’ Other students will appreciate seeing the question and your instructor’s answer.
