1. You will need to download the following from my web site at www.austincc.edu/rebhist:

     1. HIST 1302 PCM syllabus for appropriate semester

2. You will also need to send your Student Information Sheet, filled out, to my email address: mrebhorn@austincc.edu. The Student Information Sheet is reproduced below. Please put the word "orientation" as subject to avoid having the computer remove your email as spam.

3. You will also need to send to my email address above the answers to the following questions:

    a. Do you understand that all deadlines must be observed and that work done after the deadlines will not count?

    b. Do you understand that you will need to have the textbook downloaded from my blackboard site?

    c. Do you understand that the tests are multiple choice, based on the learning objectives available at the beginning of each unit on Blackboard?

    d. Do you understand that you are entitled to one retest for EACH test, but that the highest score on this retest  is a 21 and that the retesting must be done BEFORE the deadline date?

    e. You will need to keep the yellow feedback form given to you by the testing center when you take a test.  It has your grade on it.  I DO NOT POST GRADES ON BLACKBOARD.

f. Do you understand the grading system?

g . Do you undestand that I will be communicating with you primarily through the Blackbord site, meaning you will need to know your ACC email address and check it frequently.

4. I will reply to your email indicating I have received your Student Information sheet AND the replies to the 7 questions.  Only when you have received this email reply will you be considered to have been oriented.  You must do this by Friday July 10 , 2015.

5. If you do not complete the online orientation byFriday July 10 , 2015, YOU WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE COURSE.
