These courses are taught 50% online and 50% on -campus. It requires students
to be
independent learners and strongly motivated.
Students who wish to "do" these classes fully online have that option.
An email is sent 2-3 days prior to the first meeting with instructions and class website.
Important
If you do not receive an
email from me prior to course start date,
email me immediately
at darwiche_jinan@smc.edu
If you are signed up in a hybrid class, or for more info see Online Classes below.
Online Classes
Online classes are conducted entirely over the internet through a website through http://www.smconline.org
To access the course’s website you must
first register through SMC.
For online and hybrid classes I send an email 2-3 days
before the classes start with further instructions.
So make sure you provide the school with an email that you check regularly.
Important If you do not receive an email from me prior to course start
date, email me immediately.
Working From Home: If you are taking online
courses only, then you may not use the school's computer labs.
If you will be using your home computer, you are responsible for securing
your internet access as well as have the
software required installed on your home machine. Some books have the
software packaged with no expiration date.
At the current time only students taking other non-online courses may use the
computer labs.
Students taking a hybrid class may use the labs.
How online courses work : An online course has
the same content as an on-campus course. You will be using
a website (as indicated above), to get the lectures, get assignments, submit
assignments, and do the tests.
To further support online students, I also post PowerPoint presentations files
with animation and voice added to
help students understand the material more. To view these slides you can
download a free PPT viewer from
Microsoft's website if you do not have MS PowerPoint installed.
I also post sample solutions, and comment on each assignment for individual
feedback.
The advantage of online courses is that students work at their own pace
whenever they want.
Note : Assignments and Tests have due dates and must be submitted on time to get proper credit.
