It is your responsibility to make sure the instructor has
the all the contact information stated at the top of this syllabus by the
start of classes!! It is your responsibility to email the instructor if you
have any problems or do not understand this syllabus.
It is your responsibility to confirm your enrollment
either via the Internet at http://bcregweb.barstow.edu/ or by calling
(760)252-2411 x7236 if you are having problems accessing the course
material. After you have confirmed your enrollment go to

By enrolling for this class, the assumption is that you
possess the necessary skills to read at the college level, to enter and
perform research on the internet, to email using proper email etiquette and
to post to the discussions.
When emailing your instructor,
jeaves@bcconline.com,
include your full name. Send all email with the name of the course in the
subject line and Lesson No. or the words: problem, question or comment. Many
times I receive email with no name in the body of the email. Sign all email
with your name as registered at school, or else you will not receive a reply
and your assignment will not be graded.
You must explain the problem in the subject line, i.e.,
BCTT 52A, Research 1 -- no research available. Email without an appropriate
subject line will be deleted and will not be read. With the current high
incidence of viruses and unsolicited email I automatically delete all email
without appropriate subject lines.'
Remember I do not answer email on the weekends, so 48
hours response time do not include Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
If an email stating problem, help, or question in the subject line is sent
on Monday through Thursday you can expect a response within 24-48 hours. If
an email stating problem, help, or question in the subject line is sent on
the weekends there will be a longer turn around time, but the email will be
answered by Tuesday of the following week.
Email assignments will have a one week turnaround time,
and you should not expect an answer to a successfully submitted and
completed assignment before the end of the one week turnaround time period.
Receiving graded assignments or answers to your questions before the above
stated timelines have passed does not guarantee that you will receive
replies that quickly in the future.
Online classes are NOT conducted via instantaneous
transmission. Just as I am giving you a SEVEN day period to complete your
work, I am to be given SEVEN days to reply to your assignments. In addition,
the above stated timelines apply to ALL students and ALL responses to your
questions and concerns.
I appreciate your understanding of the above stated
timelines and will respond to ALL questions and concerns about this class
within the timeframes stated above.
A posting place at the top of the discussion page
indicates the instructor's message board to you. Be sure to check this each
week so that you don't miss messages and clarifications; remember that
sometimes no instructor posting will have been made. Students are not to
post in the instructor's posting area. Should you have a concern with your
class please email me your question. It is not appropriate for students to
post their concerns in the instructor's posting area. Students who post in
the instructor's posting area will receive a warning and their posting will
be deleted unanswered. Students who ignore the warning and post again to the
instructor's posting area will be dropped from the class.
At the conclusion of the class students may find out their
grades by calling (760) 252-6868 (local or out of state) and (877) 336-6868
(toll free within California). You may also find out your grade by going on
the Internet at http://bcregweb.barstow.edu/. I do not email or post student
grades and will not respond to inquiries about grades at the conclusion of
the course.
In the box below type, I understand and agree to abide by
the online instructions written above.
IMPORTANT:
You will not officially start this course until after you

No work should be completed until AFTER you have reviewed the orientation
area. The orientation area will answer many frequently asked questions about
online instruction and also provides tutorials on common problems students
encounter while doing online courses. If you are experiencing technical
difficulties and/or need to learn how to use our courseware you should first
check the orientation area to see if it answers your technical question. If
your technical question is not answered on the website you may then email
the webmaster@bcconline.com with your question.
If your question pertains to class materials you should
email jeaves@bcconline.com. The webmaster cannot answer course related
questions, and Travis Ratliff does not answer technical questions. Remember
that you must state your full name, problem, question or concern and your
class name in the subject line when asking a question.
In the box below type, I understand I must fill out the
syllabus in order to complete this course and that completing the online
orientation before beginning my course work is mandatory. I realize that I
should email the instructor with any class related questions. I also understand
that I should first check the orientation area for answers to my technical
questions and can email the
webmaster@bcconline.com my technical questions ONLY after checking the
orientation area for the answer to my question first.

Plagiarism, presenting the work of another as

Email Updates
One of the primary methods of contact in an online course
is email. Your college is capable of extracting student names and email
addresses from our registration system. The purpose of extracting this
information is two fold. The information will be used by the instructor to
remain in contact with the class in order to provide information necessary
for the students' academic success. The information will also be used to
send emails to the students from the college administration. The emails sent
by the college administration will consist of links to course surveys which
will be used to improve our online courses, important announcements for
students, and links to college surveys, which will be used to satisfy
requirements placed on the college by the California Community College
Chancellor's Office. The college will not use this information to advertise
any products and will not share student email addresses with any other
organization.
In the box below type the following information:
As a student I understand it is my responsibility to ensure my email address is
up to date in the registration system, and that failure to do so can seriously
impact my ability to successfully complete my courses. Further, I consent to
receive email communication from my instructor and from the college
administration. This consent will remain in force until it is revoked in writing
or I am no longer taking classes with the college. Upon submitting the syllabus,
I agree to enter the registration system, check my email address and change it
if necessary. I understand a tutorial is available to assist me with this
procedure. I also understand I can contact 760-252-2411 x7236 to receive
additional assistance if I encounter any difficulties when attempting to change
my email address.
