Orientation
Orientation is online only (there is no in-person orientation meeting for this course). You are, however, welcome to come to my office hours to meet me. If that isn't convenient, send me an email message to discuss when we might meet or what else I might do to help you get started.
In order to make sure that everyone is familiar with the basic things they need to know as they start this course, you need to fill out and submit some orientation forms online. (Don't worry, they aren't all that long...) Please pay careful attention to the deadlines mentioned here for these forms. If you don't submit them in time, you may be dropped from the course.
Please submit the following forms:
- As soon as you register for the course, please submit the Orientation
Form, Part 1. This lets me know that you are registered in the course
and what email address you wish to be contacted at. I will use this
information to send you your username and password for the software
(though not right away). (This one is really short.)
Deadline: No later than the day after you register. Well, if you have already registered by the time you read this, please submit it right now. (I was a little late getting the updated pages posted this semester.)
- Before you buy your course materials (textbook, etc.), read
through the Course Policies (pages 1
and 2) and look over the course Schedule
and any Handouts. Then submit the Orientation
Form, Part 2. This asks some questions to make sure you have some
of the more crucial bits of information you will need to get started.
Deadline: The first day of class. (If you register after that, you must submit this form within one day of registering.)
- After you have completed the first lesson or two (see the information
about getting started in
the software, the first lesson,
and the Homework page for details), please
submit the Orientation Form, Part
3. This asks some questions to make sure you have made a good start
in the course.
Deadline: The end of the first week of class. (If you register really late in the first week of classes, you must submit this form by the middle of the second week of class.)
