Welcome to ACC’s Fall 2008 PCM (Internet-based) English 1301. My name is Professor Browning, your instructor for this course. You won’t be able to access the full course materials until our online Blackboard classroom opens, usually a couple of days before the semester begins. However, in the meantime you can complete several tasks to prepare for the semester.

Your first task is to send me an e-mail at gkb@austincc.edu. Include your name and a phone number where I can reach you in the event that your e-mail address doesn’t work.

If you have trouble e-mailing, beginning August 25 you can also contact me at the Eastview Campus Learning Lab, Room 2304, Sunday, 12-6 p.m., Tuesday, 1:30-8 p.m., and Wednesday, 12:30-8 p.m. You can reach me at 512/223-5114 during these hours.
At other hours, please call my home number, 512/878-1033. There is a message machine at this number.
