How This Class Operates
This is not a self-paced class; there are due dates throughout the semester that
you are expected to meet, just like in a traditional, face-to-face class.

Succeeding in an Online Course
Students who succeed in online courses tend to be independent, self-motivated
learners with good computer skills. If you are a procrastinator who relies
heavily on the instructor for motivation, or can't use a computer too well, you
should probably consider enrolling in a face-to-face course instead.
Or, you might consider enrolling in our
Introduction to Online Learning course
(GNST-4910), which
provides an overview of online learning and equips you to succeed in your first
online class.
Don't enroll in this class if you believe the myth that learning
online requires less effort than learning face-to-face.
This course
covers the same content and has similar activities as the face-to-face version
of the course; only the method of delivery changes.
Blackboard
This course will use the Blackboard course management system as its virtual
classroom. To learn how to log in to Blackboard, go to the
How to Begin an Online Course page. Once you
enroll, you will not be able to log in until the first day of class.
Students are expected to become familiar with the use and operation of
Blackboard functions and are encouraged to attend an orientation session
provided by the Distance Education program at Chabot College. In addition, the
professor provides a general unit on "How to Navigate in Blackboard" for
students to understand how to use the major features the professor employs.
