Details about this class

 
Welcome to CG100 - College Survival and Success online! I am excited to have you in class this term and I look forward to getting to know you better through our online interactions!

Be prepared to set aside six hours *per week* for the readings, online work, and assignments in this course. You will be expected to complete quizzes, participate in discussions, and complete assignments weekly.

In this class, you will be expected to use the Desire2Learn (D2L) online academic platform. You must be comfortable using online tools in order to fully participate in the course. I also expect that you will be able to send email with and without attachments, post to a discussion board, and upload your assignments correctly to the D2L system.
 
A course reader has been designed specifically for this class. You can download the reader from the Class Materials section in this page or from the course D2L page.

I look forward to working with all of you this term!
