This course may transfer if we have an articulation agreement with the school you will be transferring to. Currently, this class will transfer to TSU and Sullivan College in Louisville, KY. Depending on the program you choose to pursue, this class may transfer to Johnson and Wales. |
| My name is Mary Nunaley. I may be reached by email at mary.nunaley@volstate.edu, by phone at 615-452-8600 x 3321 or by fax at 615-230-4816. Once the course begins, we will use the WebCT course e-mail and discussion board for communications related to the course. |
| All assignments and tests will be completed using the resources provided within WebCT. Each chapter of the text assigned will contain exercises, problems and other written assignments that must be submitted. Lectures, demo problems, Power Point presentations and other resources are provided to assist you in completing the assignments. All assignments will be submitted using the Assignment drop box feature in WebCT. This course also requires purchasing a software CD from the TAP series. |
| There will be no scheduled class meetings for this course. You may visit me during my office hours if needed. You will need to come to campus or locate an approved proctor for the final exam which is part of the National Sanitation Certification requirement. |
| The course content and access to the software needed to complete the course is available within WebCT. Chapter notes, project instructions, grades, the course syllabus, and other materials are all housed within WebCT. |
|
Hardware and software requirements are listed in my syllabus. Minimum computer requirements can also be found at this site: http://www.tn.regentsdegrees.org/students/hardware_software.htm |
| Any student enrolled should first contact me via email at mary.nunaley@volstate.edu . I will respond with instructions to access the course. My instructions will walk you through the steps to access the course. Students will have to purchase the text and the student workbook which also includes the exam answer sheet for the final exam. |
|
What do I do if I need assistance with technology or the course? |
| Your first contact should be with me. If you cannot access me through the course email, you can contact me by phone at extension 3321 or through my regular Vol State email account, mary.nunaley@volstate.edu. If I cannot help with a technology related question, I may have to direct you to the Help Desk for assistance. |
| A schedule of assignments will be provided that will require homework submissions to be performed on a regular basis. I DO penalize students for submitting assignments or quizzes late. If desired, students can submit assignments early. Students are encouraged to not delay beginning a new assignment. Start early and utilize the discussion board and email for assistance when needed. Visiting the discussion board on a regular basis can be very beneficial. Some of your questions may have already been asked and answered by other students. At times students may be assigned to respond to questions posted on the discussion board. |
| Expectations can best be communicated by reviewing the syllabus and schedule of assignments found on the home page of this course. |
| All assignments can be accessed from the homepage of the course within WebCT. Once the course begins, I will provide instructions regarding the submissions. |
| All due dates related to chapter assignments are included on the schedule of assignments which is provided on the Course Content and Related Materials page of the course within WebCT assignment and project due dates are also listed on the course calendar within WebCT. |
| I have found that communications with other students in this course are most efficient when using the discussion board provided in WebCT. I encourage students to use the discussion board when asking questions so that all students can see the question(s) and response(s). |
| The submission of assignments vary depending on the type of assignment. Quizzes are automatically submitted within WebCT when finished. Problems and other projects will be submitted via the assignment drop box. The assignment drop box and list of assignments can be reached by clicking the word Assignments in the left hand column of your screen. |
| Chapter quizzes are provided within the course contents of WebCT. A quiz will be graded and submitted once the student selects the 'Finish' button. All quizzes are timed however, you may choose to use your book. Quizzes will be available when the course begins and will be released at intervals throughout the semester. Do not let 'open book' fool you, because they are tough. I will accept only your first submission for quizzes. |
All assignments and quizzes are available when the course begins. I have no problem with a student working ahead of schedule. |
| Grades for assignments and quizzes can be found by clicking the My Grades link in WebCT. Grades for discussions will be posted at the end of the semester. |
