eLearning Syllabus
In this course, you will learn how to be a successful student when taking online courses. In the future there is a
very good chance that you will be taking courses online instead of in a physical classroom with a teacher. This
class is geared to prepare you for that situation. I realize that this may be difficult to get used to so we are
going to take it slow and try to do as much as we can online. But if you ever need any help, please do not
hesitate to raise your hand. I will be happy to help you.
Class Materials: You will need to bring a pen or pencil every day and you will be given a folder for note taking.
Grading Policy: All assignments are given a point value. You can determine your grade by points earned by
possible points. Grades will be updated in HomeLogic weekly.
