iLearn Orientation The Gavilan Distance Education department has put up a great online orientation to walk you through the several parts of the iLearn system. Enrollment is free. If you've never used the iLearn system, this would be a great way to familiarize yourself with all the different parts.

We'll be using all those parts. This class will be completely online. There are no on-campus meetings. All of the course materials are provided on iLearn, assignments will be submitted through iLearn, class discussions will be through iLearn, quizzes and the final exam are all taken through iLearn.

If you have problems getting started, please let me know. We can schedule a zoom meeting, or sometimes I'll agree to meet students at coffee shops in town that have internet access.

Attendance Policy

The college policy on attendance, as stated in the catalog is:

"students missing one more class hour than the unit value for a particular course, without making prior arrangements may, at the instructor's option, be dropped without possibility of credit."

Since this is an online course, and we don't have meeting times, the onus is on you. You'll have to show up in the class and finish the assignments and project and quizzes in order to get a decent grade. I strongly encourage you to keep up with the assignments each week, usually 3 of them. This is a short, 6-week class and it's very difficult to catch up if you fall behind.

For the first two weeks of the class, I will drop anyone who hasn't finished all 3 assignments for each week.

Occupational/Vocational Statement:

Occupational/Vocational students – Limited English language skills will not be a barrier to admittance to and participation in Vocational Educational Programs.

ADA Accommodation Statement

Students requiring special services or arrangements because of hearing, visual, or other disability should contact their instructor, counselor, or the Disability Resource Center."

Student Honesty Policy Reference Statement

"Students are expected to exercise academic honesty and integrity.   Violations such as cheating and plagiarism will result in disciplinary action which may include recommendation for dismissal."
