EDM310 Rules for SUCCESS

There are many things you will need to know and keep in mind if you want to do well in this course. Here I have copied a list of eleven rules you should KNOW!

1. Turn your brain to the ON position

2. Read all instructions FIRST

3. ASK FOR HELP. We are glad to help. We will NOT do it for you, but we will certainly help you learn how to do something. ASK EARLY AND OFTEN! Email edm310help@gmail.com or call 251-272-9023 (EDM310 Help Phone).

4. Approach this course like a Professional. BE ON TIME WITH ALL ASSIGNMENTS! ON TIME!

5. Be HONEST when you post your responses to assignments and when you evaluate your own performance. Remember, we know what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and who helps you do it. It’s the “miracle” of technology which provides us with this information. If you did not already know that there is no privacy anymore, you will after this course is over. (You do have a Facebook account, correct? So you of all people should know there is no privacy!)

6. Consult the Class Blog DAILY

7. Look at the materials in the Class Blog archive to get a glimpse of the class last semester

8. Look at some of the student blogs from last semester. The link to Student Blogs is on the Class Blog.

9. Check out the EDM310 Alumni Blog

10. Plan ahead. You should start projects far enough in advance to allow time for doing them well and on time. Begin dates have been provided for most projects. Start earlier where possible.

11. NEVER use Internet Explorer as a browser for this course
