However, assignments for the weeks to follow are not accepted until that week actually begins. 7) Please send an email or call instructor regarding personal issues. 8) Please do not post personal issues on the discussion board or in the virtual office! Definitions: 1) Handouts and/or reading assignments will be provided each week.

These need to be completed weekly in order to receive full points. 3) The Virtual Office and the Discussion Boards are important and extremely valuable tools. It is through these tools where students can interact and receive clarification of assignments and questions: • You must read and understand the rules of "Netiquette and Privacy" outlined below. In addition, please read “Homework Questions and Answers” (listed below). Netiquette and Privacy Words can mean many things and what we intend to say is not always what others hear. This is especially true of "online communication" during which other students do not have the opportunity to see your "body language" and therefore have a greater possibility of misunderstanding what you truly mean. Please, follow these guidelines in all your online responses and discussion groups: RESPECT: Respectful exchanges are a basic ground rule. We feel that informational errors should be pointed out respectfully (even if stated strongly). Disagreements that honor the viewpoints of the various contributors are productive and can lead to new learning and understanding. PRIVACY: Keep in mind not only your own privacy rights, but others as well. Do not reveal any information that you deem private. BE CONSIDERATE: Grammatical/spelling errors will be common, just be patient. REMEMBER: Humor and satire are often misinterpreted online. Communication is more than words. So, be prepared for some misunderstanding and requests for clarification. BE SUPPORTIVE: We are all still learning. Our job is not to judge or condemn or even praise, although genuine encouragement is a necessary ingredient. We are here to provide information, to address topics in a discussion forum, and to provide assistance in helping each participant use her/his own unique learning style. Reflection generally 12 precedes growth. So reflect upon what is said, provide sincere comments, and hopefully, we will all grow. One good way to avoid problems is to reread your postings before sending them. Something written in haste may be misread. Homework Questions and Answers Including Expectations Will I be required to be online at a certain time? Students should plan on accessing the online class site and checking e-mail at least three times a week. Students may communicate with each other and the instructor via one or more of the following: talking on the phone, in person, study groups and using the discussion board and e-mail. If you plan a study session and would like for other classmates to know, please email me so I can post it on the announcement page. In addition to requesting help from the instructor, please utilize the resources you have around you (library, the expert Anesthesia doctors, and expert CRNAs). How do I earn points for participation? Participation points may be earned from discussion board messages, e-mail assignments and participation in the virtual online assignments located in your weekly lesson folder on the ANGEL class page. All discussion postings will be evaluated on the quality of the response for the minimum required postings, rather than on the length of the communication. How do I access the class assignments? I will post the assignments online and provide links in the class website. How do I take tests for the class? You will be required to take online quizzes and grades will be available 3 to 5 days after closing of the due date. When an assignment is due on a specified day, is there a certain time in which I should send the assignment? Assignments are due by midnight on the final weekly due dates specified in the 13 class syllabus. As long as you respond by the posted deadline, your assignment will be on time. How long does it take for the instructor to respond to student assignments? Some grades will not be updated immediately after you submit or complete an assignment. I usually wait until all of the students have sent their work, and then I begin the grading process. So, the grades will be posted about 3 to 5 days after an assignment is due. I take your writing seriously and would like to give proper feedback to each student. This process takes time, so I ask that you be patient. Remember, this is an online course and all grading is not automated. Some grades may be entered manually, depending on the assignment. Writing individual comments to students will take time and again, your patience is appreciated. How can I check to see if my assignment has been received? After approximately 5 days you should see a grade for your assignments in the Gradebook area of the class site on ANGEL. Students should refrain from emailing me to inquire whether I have received an assignment. Email personal matters to instructor. Do not post personal information on the discussion board. Tip: • When replying to a discussion board messages, please use the first name of the student to whom you are replying so that readers can better understand your message. **** All instructor responses on ANGEL will be in the color “purple”. School Supplies Recommended: -A 2 or 3 inch Notebook with dividers -Notecards (a notecard template will be available on the school supply folder in your ANGEL Classroom). 14 These school supplies will help you keep any printed materials in a safe place when you carry them and use them as study reference materials after your class ends. Please use discretion when choosing to print lengthy materials. Print PowerPoints in Handout version with 4-6 slides on a page! Always recycle!
