You MUST do this Online Orientation for this course by Saturday, October 24th.  

Please email me ASAP if you have not done so.  The text for this course is Cultural Anthropology, by Nancy Bonvillain,

and you can use either the older first edition (ISBN 0-13-045545-8) or newer second edition (ISBN 978-0-205-68509-7).  

Both are available at various ACC bookstores, especially the Rio Grande bookstore.  The Syllabus for this course is posted

on my website and also on Blackboard. You will access all the material for the course through Blackboard:

acconline.austincc.edu. You must have an ACC eID (electronic id) to access Blackboard.  If you do not already have

an ACC eID, instructions for creating one are at the ACC Homepage: www.austincc.edu, in the eServices area look for

the ACCeID above the Golden Key icon.  Select to either log in or press “First Time Log-In” for instructions to set up

your user and password. 

 

You must learn to negotiate Blackboard for this course.  It is not difficult.  As in all ACC Open Campus courses, we

will not be meeting for lectures, although I would be glad to meet with you during office hours or by appointment.

Please call me, 922-8980, if you wish to meet me during my office hours so I am there instead of the library, xeroxing, etc.
