Syllabus (with book list)

Class Schedule

You are responsible for having the books in time to participate in the class.  If the college book store is out of stock, you will need to purchase the books elsewhere.  If the book store is out of stock, that is not an excuse to not turn in work.

If this is your first online class, I suggest you read over this helpful COS webpage: Online Survival Guide.

Instructions for Accessing the Online Class (Etudes):

This class uses the Etudes system.  If you are unfamiliar with Etudes, I recommend you work though the free online orientation to the system.  If you go the College of the Siskiyous Etudes - Student Help webpage, you will find links to several Etudes demonstrations.

To learn how to login to the class, go the College of the Siskiyous Etudes - Login Help webpage, and read the Login Instructions.

See you inside the class!
