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

reply and your assignment will not be graded.
You must explain the problem in the subject line, i.e.,
CBIS 1 -- Word Doesn't Work.
Email without an appropriate subject line will be deleted and will not
be read. With the current high incidence of viruses and unsolicited

AFTER the 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
fkellen@bcconline.com.
The webmaster cannot answer course related questions, and
Mr. Kellenberger 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.

I should first check the orientation area for answers to my technical

Resources for you
Online classes are administered under the Distance Education division
and as such there are no regular class meetings. Sometimes the
terminology and/or the breadth of the class may seem to be daunting or
overwhelming to you. If so, you may also attend on campus classes when
possible for extra reinforcement. Check the spring schedule for time and
place. Please identify yourself to the instructor prior to the start of
class so that extra credit can be assigned.
In the box below type, I understand I can attend class courses if
I need additional help, or that I may contact
bctutorial@bcconline.com if I
need to have a tutor for this course.
