  • Course Components and Descriptions

    Each session in this course has an Overview and Objectives. Sessions are designed using a common instructional cycle. Review the table below for a brief description of each element.

    	Checklist A checklist is available for each session. It provides a list of all required tasks, along with the due dates. Review it to make sure you have completed all tasks.
    	Readings Readings include online web resources, PDF resources, and articles available in E-Reserves. Unless otherwise directed, readings should be completed prior to completing all activities and discussions so that you may thoughtfully respond to discussions and/or complete activities. Generally readings should be completed within the first few days of a given session or in the first week of a session if it is a multi-week session.
    	Presentations Media and Presentations serve as the "lecture" portion of the online class and may include resources such as audio and video files.
    	Discussion Discussions are a critical part of any online class and carry significant weight toward your overall grade.
    	Activities Activities may involve short independent tasks that you complete throughout the course, or collaborative activities that you complete within your assigned team.
    	Assignment Assignments involve long-term assessments that take place over several weeks of the course. There are several main assignments in this course. You will be prompted in session directions to work on these assignments. Follow the detailed assignment directions found in the session in which the assignment is introduced.
