PHYSICAL SCIENCE LECTURE I (ONLINE SECTION)
PSI:101 / (3 Credits)
INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS ENROLLING FOR ON-LINE COURSE
This section of Physical Science Lecture I is offered as an alternative to the
usual presentation format. There are no regular class meetings, although there
will be on-campus testing three times on Saturdays (2/27,
4/10, 5/15 at 10 am) and
an optional on-campus orientation session in SW 204 (Meramec Campus) at 10 am on
Saturday of Jan. 23rd for the students who
don't know how to use the Blackboard website. The textbook for this course will be "Physical Science (8th ed.)
by
Bill Tillery" ( ISBN #: 0-07-340452-7). You need to buy a new textbook to
use the publisher's website. But you may buy a used textbook if you are
going to pay $12.00 to the publisher for using the publisher's website.
you may buy the textbook at the Meramec
bookstore or online. The course content will be online materials
created by the instructor and organized in much the same way as a traditional
text. There are chapter outline, overview, goals and lecture notes for each
chapter. Weekly assignments will be posted on the Blackboard website and
should be done by a given deadline. Additionally, there are also links to related web sites.Optional ON-CAMPUS ORIENTATION SESSION
If you have never used the Blackboard website before, you'd better attend the
on-campus orientation session on Saturday of Jan. 23rd
at 10:00 AM
in
SW 204 (Science West 204) on the Meramec campus. This session
will focus on the use of the Blackboard software. If you don't come to the
orientation, I'll assume that you know how to use the materials on the Blackboard
website.
REGISTRATION AND ACCESS TO ONLINE MATERIALS
You register for this course just as you would for any other course. As soon
as you register, you have to log into the

(http://www.stlcc.edu/Studentemail/index.html)
to complete the registration for this course.

Banner website before, you need to click the 'Banner Instructions' button at the
top. You have to wait one business day in order to log into the Blackboard

ONLINE COURSE MANAGEMENT
St. Louis Community College has adopted a software package called Blackboard as
its standard for online course presentation and management. You can log
into the Blackboard website ( http://blackboard.stlcc.edu/
) after Jan. 16th. The course syllabus with general expectations, test schedules, and
grading procedures will be posted in Blackboard under "Course
Information". Under "Communication", Blackboard supports several
avenues of communication among or between students and between instructor and
students, so most of the class "meetings" will take place online. The
software's "Grading" feature allows students the option of looking at
their grades at any time during the semester. Although the software supports
online testing, issues of security and validity have caused us to opt for
on-campus testing in this course.
