This section provides easy access to course communication tools. If you are new to electronic communication you might want to review netiquette guidelines on courtesy, common sense, and general rules concerning language use and abuse. Students enrolled in the course will need to subscribe to the class Listserv/Listproc (discussion group). Group discussions using COW (Conferencing on the Web) require a separate logon name and password which will be distributed via e-mail. The Online Meetings are scheduled CHAT sessions (synchronous, real-time communication where everyone's words appear on the computer monitor). To use CHAT you will need to download the appropriate software for your computer. Refer to the UCCS Web page at http://www.csus.edu/uccs/chat/ to download the software.
I encourage electronic communication and office visits. Refer to my home page for scheduled office hours."Virtual office hours" through electronic mail, the class discussion list, COW and CHAT sessions allow quick feedback. The discussion list serves as a forum for students to help each other by suggesting answers and engaging in online conversations.
