Teaching Methods

This is a distance learning course taught in the PCM format. PCM courses require students to have access to a computer with an Internet connection and a personal email address to complete coursework online. Students may use computers from home or work, or they may use the ACC Computer Centers. In this course, assignments will be disseminated online and students will submit the assignments through Blackboard. As the assignment is graded, I will enter the grade in the Blackboard grade book. Students can access the grade book and view their grades online. Grades will not be sent through email for reasons of confidentiality.  Students will also participate in the online discussion board in Blackboard.  This will count towards your class participation points.  In order to log into Blackboard you will need your ACCeID.  Click here for more information about ACCeID if you have not activated your eID yet.
