Optional On-Campus Orientations

There are no required on-campus meetings for this class. You can attend an OPTIONAL, on-campus Orientation to Online Learning that provides Blackboard log in instructions and help, an overview of the Blackboard course management system, and tips on netiquette, time management, and study skills for the online student. 

Attend either of these sessions:

• Monday, June 15th, 5:30-6:30 p.m., in Room 1618

• Tuesday, June 16th, noon-1:00 p.m. in Room 1618

Learn more about these orientations, which are NOT course-specific.

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.

The class emphasizes discussions and class participation. Assignments include weekly graded discussion forums, chapter quizzes, five-six internet research assignments, and three online exams. Students are expected to log into blackboard at least three times a week and will spend approximately 9 hours per week  in class activities ( 10-12 hours a week if the class starts late OR 18 hours a week for the summer session).

Special discussion board policy: Each graded discussion forum requires one main post and at least three replies to other students. First post for each board must be done before Thursday midnight, the rest of the work must be completed before Sunday midnight.

Textbook Information

Kinicki, Williams. Management: A Practical Introduction, Customized Text, ISBN 0077214021, McGraw-Hill, 3rd ed. OR you can use the full-text version of 3rd edition of the same textbook (ISBN 978-007-353019-2).

How Students are Graded

This is a sample of the grading structure used in a typical class.  The specific grading structure might slightly differ.

1. Discussion Board: 13 at 10 pts = 130 pts
2. Exams: 3 at 75 pts = 225 pts
3. Internet Assignments: 5 at 15 pts = 75 pts
4. Chapter Quizzes: 12 at 5 pts = 60 pts
5. Syllabus Quiz: 10 pts
Total Number of Points: 490

TENTATIVE: Instructor reserves the right to change the grading structure. Extra point assignments will be given to the entire class. These will not be given on individual basis.

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.
