Essay Preview: Can You Think of Times When Having a Printed Syllabus Would Be Valuable?
* What are the advantages of printing the course syllabus (Student Expectation #8)? Can you think of times when having a printed syllabus would be valuable?
By printing the course syllabus you can carry your work without and plan your classes in your everyday life. You will have better access to when your work is due. I think that is important to have to printed out because if not if for some reason your computer is broken or you are out of your house till the due date than you're in luck you have your assignments with you and you don't have to worry.
* Discuss the value of classmates as a source of information to help you in online courses (Student Expectation #10). Give at least one example.
The value of classmates helps so that if you need help, advice or opinions or better understanding in the course or even in life if you feel comfortable you should contact one of your peers and that might help you in anything you may need. A example would to be to contact a peer to help understand a cretin subject in your chapter, comparing notes and seeing what they think about it.
* What is formative feedback and why would it be helpful for students (Student Expectation #6)? Give at least one example.
Formative feedback is important to see what you did and what you can improve on. I love reading the comments my instructor puts on my work. Also helps me understand why I got the grade I did. For example in a regular classroom if you want to understand what you did wrong you can go to the instructors office and ask but this way if you are a online student you can see their notes and try better on your next assignment.
* What are some benefits of the Faculty Office feature?
If you have any question that involve books, directions, or due dates the faculty office is the place to post where the instructor and peers can help answer question.
* What is Netiquette and why is it important in online learning?
Netiquette is the thoughtful, adult and even professional way you represent yourself to a larger world than the neighborhood where your house sits. Communications occur more easily (you are likely to get quicker, more positive responses to your needs), and fewer misunderstandings make dealing with others much more positive. It is important because there are other people that use the net. It is important that you are nice to someone else as you would want them to be to you
* Which student expectation was most helpful to you? Why?
Probably Expectation 8. When I printed the syllabus it helped me understand the course and what I need to do during the week. That way I can get work done without having to go online. I can be with my friends and still know what I need to do. I find it super helpful and makes it easier.
