Class Hours: T&TH 12:00-1:15 PM, Room Crawford 105
This
class is both a distance learning/on-line and classroom setting course
between the University of Hawaii, Manoa and Washington State University. You
must have regular access to a computer, an e-mail address and the ability to
learn WebCT.
Unless
otherwise noted in class or on the syllabus,
UH students will usually only meet in the classroom on Tuesday's.
Thursday will be your time to work on your
weekly on-line threaded discussions or group project
with your Washington State University colleagues.
Special Note
You are responsible for keeping track of which days we'll meet and which we
will not.
The best way to do
this is by attending class every Tuesday.
If you confuse the days and miss a class, please consult with your classmates.
It is strongly recommended that you regard each Thursday as 'class time'
so you don't get behind.
