I have the textbook for this course or I will have it by the end of the first week of class.

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.

Total Points Earned Divided By Total Points Possible Equals Percent Letter Grade

I understand the above grading policy and course schedule listed above and will abide by the terms listed.

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 http://www.bcconline.com/orient/  and read the password link.  Following this procedure will ensure you are helped in the fastest manner possible.

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: ahenderson@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., WARE 52, Case Study One -- 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.

You will not officially start this course until after you have completed the orientation sessions at http://www.bcconline.com/orient/. 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 ahenderson@bcconline.com. The webmaster cannot answer course related questions, and Mr. Henderson 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 there is one meeting for this course (the final). If I am unable to take the final on the main campus, or at Barstow College's Ft. Irwin or Miramar sites, I understand it is my responsibility to find a proctor and completely fill out the proctor from. 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.

I understand the policy on plagiarism and agree to abide by it.
