This fully online course requires participation in several written discussions with Wednesday (first post) and Saturday night (reply posts) deadlines. There are weekly online open-book quizzes and two tests (a midterm and final), as well as one or two short, informal writing assignments (to be submitted online) during the term. I have recorded lectures discussing the material, with slides to serve as an outline or study guide. Occasionally other videos are provided in lieu of lectures.

You will need the required textbook for this course. Please get a copy prior to the start of the course.

Each week of my course opens at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday morning, and you will have until the following Saturday at 11:59 to complete the week's activities, with deadlines as noted above. There are ten full weeks of work, with the eleventh week of the term to turn in your final test and await final grades.

I will send out an updated syllabus with details of my grading system, my late work policy, a calendar of work for the term, and lots of other important information about a week prior to the start of our course. Note that you will be able to access my course on the Sunday prior to the start of the term, so feel free to jump in early.

I enjoy getting to know my online students via written class participation, as well as emails and calls or zoom meetings upon request. Please feel free to email me (anne.nichol@pcc.edu) with questions or for additional information. I look forward to having you in class and learning with you this term!
