Material Detail

Now that you have accessed our online classroom space, your next step should be to become acquainted with this class website. Logging into an online course for the first time can feel a bit like being dropped into the middle of a forest. You want to know: Where do I go first? How do I navigate this terrain? If this is your first online course, know that this feeling is completely natural: Every online course is set up a bit differently, and getting a feel for each requires taking some time to just click around and understand how everything is laid out.

The work you will do in this course will consist of the following tools and resources:

• Content: Content consists of course information, module and assignment instructions, and supplementary materials.
• Discussions: You will complete discussions as you move through the modules.
• Final Assignments: You will complete the following four major writing assignments: rhetorical analysis, brief argument, and research-based argument (which consists of an annotated bibliography and final essay).
• Quizzes:You will take three quizzes.

After exploring this course space, you should begin to feel more orientated with the layout, and at that point, you will want to begin working through the modules while staying alert to due dates posted on the Course Schedule. You may want to print this schedule out and place it somewhere handy, as it will be important to keep the due dates in mind throughout the course to verify you are completing all course assignments on time. Completing coursework on time will be crucial if receiving a satisfactory grade is important to you.
