Preview Week Read Me!

Do You Want to Be a Success?

During preview week, here are some things that you need to do so that you are ready for Week 1.

Read the syllabus!
Explore your course sites and familiarize yourself with the layout.

Buy/rent the text.
Make sure you have a working web camera and microphone. 😁
If you don't have it already, download and install all of the required software on your computer and mobile devices:
- Web Browsers and Canvas apps for mobile devices can be downloaded through the links on the Start Here page in the Course Orientation module.
- Microsoft Office 365 (Links to an external site.)(You can use it for free as long as you are enrolled at Carroll Community College).
  - Microsoft Teams (we'll use this for virtual office hours).
- If you don't already have it, download Adobe Reader (for reading PDF files).
If you need technical support with Canvas, you can click on the Policies & Support link in Canvas.

Some Tips for the Course

In most of the modules, there are videos or other content embedded for you to see and review in addition to the content in the textbook. Sometimes the video will take a minute to load, depending on connection speed.
Office Hours are on Mondays from 4pm -5pm EST, on Teams. If you need to meet at a different time, let me know and we'll get a meeting scheduled!
Due dates are listed on the assignments and will typically be at the end of each week, on Sundays. Class Discussions are the exception, as some will require peer review and responses, so definitely participate in the discussions before Sunday!
Make sure you note the due dates on your calendar!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
