1. Where do I start?
Start here. MiraCosta Online Education’s webpage responds all the questions you might have from technical assistance to tips for online students (do not miss this one).
2. How many hours per week do I need to spend in this class?
Your on ground classes required you to attend 5 hours a week on campus. That is the minimum mandatory time you will spend in this class. Like any class you will need an extra hour per day to do homework and study. To get organized, I suggest you to set aside 2:30 hs per week day and see if that time works for you.
3. I am not a very organized person, what should I do to do well in this class?
First, make sure you keep your inbox clean. You will be receiving important emails from me. If you do not have Google account I suggest you to get one; due dates are going to be posted there and you can copy them to your own calendar. And the most important part of being organized is time management. Here is an article that will help you with that.
4. Where do I call for help if the online workbook is not working well?
The publisher. I cannot help you with any problems related to the book.
5. How can I make sure I do not disrespect my classmates or my teacher?
Like in any environment, we follow the corresponding etiquette. For the web, is is called Netiquette. Read “The Core Rules of Netiquette” an excerpted from the book Netiquette by Virginia Shea.
6. What are the most important links I will need to use during this semester?
a. Blackboard; b. Online textbook; c. Instructor’s email; MCC’ Help Desk
