Winter 2012: Happy New Year!

Rebecca Board

Wednesday, January 11 Enrollment Closed / Courses Full

Rebecca Board

My online classes are full. There were some drops this week reflected in the portal, but I have given out 15 add codes to students from the waitlists, and these add codes will get used to bring each course's enrollment up to a few students over capacity. Please do not email me requesting add codes as I can not respond to each email I receive.

Required Textbooks for Winter Quarter

Rebecca Board

EWRT 2: Writing Arguments Brief 8th Edition by John D. Ramage

Rebecca Board

This book has a YELLOW cover. There are copies available at the De Anza Bookstore and from online retailers.

GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for visiting my faculty web page. If you are interested in one of my classes, you can browse the syllabus links available here or email me with questions.

Rebecca Board

My courses always fill before the first day of classes, so please register early. My online classes especially fill quickly. If you were unable to enroll or get on a waiting list, please do not email me until the quarter starts. All students interested in adding an online class should email me with add requests only on the first day of the quarter when add codes become available. PLEASE DO NOT SEND EMAILS BEFORE THE QUARTER BEGINS because I will not be able to help you until the first day.

ADD POLICIES All students interested in trying to add should read the following:

Rebecca Board

TO ADD MY ON CAMPUS AND HYBRID COURSES: Students who are on the waiting list should attend the first class meeting on Monday. If there are vacancies, I will add from the waiting list. I will consider adds ONLY during the first two class meetings based upon open spaces during the first week. Students who are not on the waiting list should consider enrolling in another available course as space in my classes is very limited.

Rebecca Board

TO ADD MY ONLINE COURSES: You must email me on Monday of the first week to request an add code. Please let me know if you are on the waiting list as waitlisted students will have priority on Monday only. If you are NOT on the waiting list, I will not be able to add you until Tuesday or Wednesday, AND only if there is space in the class because:

Rebecca Board

• There are currently people officially on the wait list. • The courses are already at capacity • I must first see who shows up and who from the wait list adds.

Rebecca Board

Here is how I process adds for online classes once add codes are delivered (first day of quarter):

Rebecca Board

ON MONDAY: I will only add people from the waiting lists
ON TUESDAY: I will give priority to requests from the wait list, but if I can accommodate those who have already emailed me Monday wanting to add, I will.
ON WEDNESDAY: All enrolled students who have not logged in to Catalyst will be dropped at 8 AM on Wednesday. Any open spaces will be filled from the wait list and from those who have emailed me Monday with add requests.

Getting Started in your Online Course (And keeping your spot)

Rebecca Board

Be sure to log into CATALYST early the first week (by the end of the first day for summer session) and no later than Tuesday if you do not want to be dropped. I know you are actively enrolled in the distance learning course only after you log on. All inactive students will be dropped without warning on Wednesday of the first week (Tuesday for summer session) to accommodate those wishing to add. If you have trouble logging in, please email me for help.
