Prof. Joe Meyer's LACC Poli. Sci. 1

Week 1 Checklist and Student Statement

This is an ONLINE CLASS - that means it is MORE WORK than a so--called regular class.

If you can not do all these things in the first week, then maybe you should not be in this class. We will use eTudes and mypoliscilab.com course compass EVERY week, so no excuses.

If all this is too much, please drop the course NOW!

Week 1 Checklist and Student Statement for the ONLINE Class!

1. Register for this class AND purchase the only text we will use for the course from the bookstore. (See the assignment page for the text title and author.) Buy it from the bookstore and it comes with access to mypoliscilab.com, which we will use each week. The course code for this online class is: (code TBA)

2. Go to the Class Home Page/Syllabus and READ IT and READ the Assignments Page. Read the Welcome Message.

3. Get on eTudes (directions are on the Class Home Page/Syllabus). Confirm your email address and post a "hello" message on the "Week One Sign In" in the class discussion section on eTudes. The eTudes shell will be open by the first week of classes.

4. After you have done all of the above and can honestly attest to everything in the student statement (Below) - copy it and paste it into a regular email and put your name where it belongs (2 places) and email it to me - DO NOT ATTACH anything.
