Course Essentials

No required textbook

There is no textbook required for this class.  You will find all the readings needed for this class in Canvas.

Required equipment (aside from a computer with internet access)

• Google Docs: This course requires Google Docs - not Microsoft Word - for all written assignments. Every enrolled SBCC student already has a Google Docs account. The instructions for setting up your Google Docs work folder are detailed in our "Introduction and Orientation exercises." Don't hesitate to contact me for assistance [805-699-5117] if you have any trouble setting up your Google Docs work folder.

• Wireless device (laptop, Chromebook, tablet, mobile phone) for completing in-class writing assignments.

• Also, I strongly encourage using the Chrome internet browser. This browser interacts most smoothly with Google Docs and Canvas.

Assignment instructions

• Please note that you have access to the entire term, week by week, though the "Modules" link on our Canvas Homepage. Hyperlinks to all of the resources (instructions, models, examples, rubrics) that you will need to succeed in this class are already laid out for you, week by week in the Modules, with links to all assignments and instructions where you will need them in every Module. 

Course recording

• Class meetings may be recorded. This is intended to supplement the classroom experience. The recording (audio and video) will include only the instructor. No students will be identifiable in the course recordings.
