1.7 Participation & "Attendance"

Online Participation = "Attendance"

Online, you can "attend" class from your backyard, on your bus ride home, or in your pajamas at 2am! Attendance is not marked by your physical presence in a classroom, but rather by your engagement with the online course discussions, quizzes, and assignments.

Guidelines

This course is designed to take about 3 hours per week (on average). Please plan to:

  • Set aside time each week to view all module materials and submit required work
  • Log in regularly each week to check for announcements, grades, messages, and comments
  • Participate in online discussions, and respond thoughtfully to your peers

If You Fall Behind...

Your participation is integral to the success of this course, but I also recognize that you are human beings with many commitments not only at Cabrillo, but also outside of school -- at home, and at work. While this course is important, your family, your health, and your well-being need to come first!

If you've reached a point where you have fallen behind, or can't meet the due dates, please contact me. We'll work together to make a path to success.
