U.S. History Online David C. Hanson, Virginia Western Community CollegeOnline Classroom Rules
These are online courses with no required classroom meetings. However, our "virtual classroom" is the Blackboard Discussion Forum. Skipping the discussion board is like skipping class. Students should participate in a timely and respectful manner. Inappropriate comments will be deleted from the discussion board and could lead to suspension of Blackboard access. (See Discussion Board Instructions).Optional Saturday test previews may be held in B10 (next to the Learning Technology Center in Brown Library). If so, these will be informal class meetings for the purpose of preparing for each unit test. Students should consider the following suggestions at these meetings:
1. Small children, while cute and precious, can be an annoying distraction. Please leave them at home.
2. Do not bring food. Snacks will be provided.
3. This is not the time and place to discuss your own homework or test grades. That should be done one-on-one during office hours or by email or telephone.
