In a non-online class, you would spend 4 hours in lecture per week. PSU says you should spend 2 hours outside of class doing homework for every credit. For a 4 credit class, that is 8 homework hours. That means this course gets 12 hours a week.

Email tips:
Use a friendly tone. Ask for help. START A NEW EMAIL when you have a new question. DO NOT keep replying to the same email over and over.

Grades

Technology

We won't use D2L this quarter. I go back and forth with D2L. Some quarters I use it extensively. That always seems to result in great heartache for students. So no D2L this quarter.

This course uses a lot of technology to make taking an online course easier. So this week, check out Celly, Twitter, and Facebook.
