Open Campus
Instructor: Dr. Marlette Rebhorn

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

     1. HIST 2312 PCM syllabus for appropriate semester
     2. HIST 2312 PCM learning objectives

2. You will need to send your Student Information Sheet, filled out, to my email address: mrebhorn@austincc.edu.  The Student Information Sheet is reproduced below.  You can also find it as the last page of the HIST 2312 PCM learning objectives.

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 and sidebars available online at Blackboard?    

    c. Do you understand that the tests are multiple choice, based on the learning objectives, and have you reviewed the sample test questions in the HIST 2312 PCM learning objectives?

    d. Do you understand the grading system?

    e. 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?

    f. Do you understand you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUBMIT REQUIRED PAPERS BY EMAIL.  You will need to use US post, drop them off at my office, or send through ACC campus mail. Allow time for the papers to reach me by the deadline date. Papers received after the deadline date will not be considered.

g. Do you understand that all communication through Blackboard goes to your ACC assigned email account, ending in g.austincc.edu? This means you must know you assigned account and check this account regularly.

h. Do you understand that grades are not posted on Blackboard and that you will receive a yellow feedback form from the testing center after taking your test that will have your grade on the lower left?

4. I will reply to your email indicating I have received your Student Information sheet and question answers.  Only when you have received this email reply will you be considered to have been oriented.  You must do this by August 27, 2014.

5. If you do not attend complete the online orientation by August 27, 2014 YOU WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE COURSE!
