COURSE SYLLABUS/INSTRUCTIONS

Read each assignment in the text. Listed pages in the text should provide sufficient information for a satisfactory answer. You are free to use whatever additional information you desire in forming your responses

Respond to the questions for each assignment by emailing to dgawronski@mesacc.edu. Do not direct assignments to any other email address.

Make certain you address all parts of each unit assignment (some are two part questions). Failure to do so will negatively impact your grade

As a general guideline a response should approximate 1-2 pages, preferably double spaced. Obviously, the more detail that is included in a response will result in a higher grade. Consider the suggested guidelines on length as a minimum requirement.

The course is self paced but do not procrastinate. A main reason for lack of success in online courses is procrastination. Proceed at the same pace as if you were in a regular classroom. Try to complete one assignment per week if enrolled in the regular semester. Adjust accordingly for compressed classes during the summer and the wintersession.

I grade all incoming assignments on a daily basis, including weekends. I respond to all emails within 24 hours by reply email.

The College has recently mandated that online courses contain fixed office hours. In my regular classes I am available whenever I am on campus. For my online classes I regularly monitor my email. However, consider Mon-Ths 6-7pm as a fixed time for issues requiring immediate attention. Any adjustments to that time, if deemed necessary, will be communicated via email To MCC student accounts.

All assignments must be received by the ending date for the class as indicated in the published schedule.
