Email is the easiest way. You can access email by clicking on the "Instructor" button at the bottom of each web page.
How much study time should I plan for?
We generally tell students to plan on 3 hours of study time/credit hour/week. Many students spend more than this.
If you want to print the handouts to read them, you may but there will be a lot to print. It might be easier to read them on-line and make notes but it is totally up to you.
What is adobe acrobat and why do I need it?
Adobe acrobat is the format that we put our handouts in. This software allows you to print off EXACTLY what you see on the screen. You will not be able to open the handouts without Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer, you may download it free from the VTDL home page.
The course calendar is your guide to information and when things are due to be postmarked. It is very important for you to check the calendar so you keep up with the course.
Bulletin board questions will be posted approximately every other week. These questions correspond to the modules that you should be working on. You will be given 5 points for your response to each question. You may also use the bulletin board to ask your classmates questions and to respond to them.
The chat room can be used to do "live" interaction with the instructor or classmates. It is best to set a time to meet so that you are there together. It can also be used for office hours by the instructor or to have mandatory chat sessions with the class.
