Course Syllabus

There isn't a required textbook for this course - all of the written material you will need is included in the weekly modules.

The easiest way to navigate through the course is by selecting Modules in the left hand menu.  From there, the course is set up in weekly modules.  Select the week we are in and review all of the items in that module.

Please make sure that your cptc email address is set as your primary address in Canvas (Account (left hand menu) > Settings > Email (right hand menu) and that you have your preferences set to be notified of announcements and other important information at least on a daily basis.  Announcements will be my main means of communication with the entire class and if I have something to communicate to you specifically, I will email you on Canvas. 

Watch due dates carefully as I do not accept late assignments, as indicated in the program policies (unless there are extenuating circumstances and those instances are rare).  I am trying to instill time management skills that are absolutely necessary in our industry.

Please contact me via Canvas email if you ever have questions regarding an assignment.  The previous instructor spent a great deal of time making videos for most of the assignments and they are very detailed and very helpful.  However, I have changed some of the requirements for the assignments, so always read the written assignment instructions carefully because they are the most current.  And again, ask questions if you need further verification.

I will always try to get back to you in a timely manner; typically no longer within 24 hours, but most often much sooner than that.  I do teach full time face to face, so I may not get back to you until after I am done teaching in the afternoon.  Please at least look ahead at the assignments so that if you have questions, you can ask them during the week and not on Sunday afternoon or evening when the assignment is due on Monday morning at 8am.  I do not answer emails after Sundays at 5pm.

Welcome and let's make this a fantastic quarter!
