- Where do I go to find out what to do? The first place to go is the course Moodle – this will give you all the administrative details for the course: the course outline, timetable, goals, requirements, and so on. The other important place is here – the course blog. This is where the communication for the course takes place, and where the instructor and students will be able to comment on the class activities.
- What happens if I miss an exam? You may be given a make-up exam if you missed the exam because of illness. In this case, a doctor’s note is required. If you miss the exam for some other reason, you will get a zero unless there are extraordinary circumstances and you have made arrangements before the exam with the instructor.
- I don’t have a computer at home so it’s really hard for me to get online. What should I do? There are many computers on campus you can use. Public libraries and many coffee shops also provide free or nearly free online access.
- My computer/printer broke down/crashed/ate my homework. See number 3.
- How often do I need to be online? That depends on what you are working on. You will see in the course Moodle, WHEN everything in the course is due, and WHAT to do. The discussion activities require you to communicate with other students so whenever you have one due, you will probably need to be online at least once a day for several days in a row. This is not a course in which you can go online once a week and expect to do well.
