Course Overview

This document is meant to give you an overview of what will be included and required in this course and a recommendation for successful navigation and completion.
Since this course is entirely online EVERYTHING will be in D2L or linked resources. Let us take a look.
Our textbook comes with student resources and you should go their website to scan them (link provided in D2L). There are also chapter Powerpoint files.
Additionally, I will be adding:
· My personal chapter overview and suggestions for the major points to concentrate on.
· Writing assignments and resources on each chapter topic.
My recommendation for this course would be to follow the activities I have ordered for you in D2L. Under each chapter I have documents or links to all course requirements. The links, in order, are:
1. A “Woods Overview” of the chapter found in the Discussion Board.
2. The “Chapter Overview” from our textbook.
3. The textbook PowerPoint slides. These provide shallow chapter content.
4. Skim the textbook chapter, noting what is covered and the major topics.
5. STUDY the textbook chapter, paying attention to terminology and the example studies/experiments.
6. Look at the “Key Terms” for that chapter.
7. Take the “Review Quiz”. This will identify any areas of needed review.
8. Take the quiz. You only get two chances, do not waste the first on “let’s see what it looks like”.
9. Now move to the writing assignment. To integrate with our textbook content my writing assignments will involve textbook or relevant outside sources. These will be ESSAY questions, so think 4-6 sentences.
“Is there required interaction in this course Dr. Woods?” No. But I will communicate with you in two ways:
· The “Announcements” page. I will post comments here for each of our topics. What to concentrate on, what to look for, what I find especially fascinating.
· The “Discussion Board”. Here you will find my overview and sometimes relevant links. Here you can also comment back to me or to each other.
