The course syllabus is akin to ( like) a contract between the instructor and the student.
The instructor provides the student a document ( the Syllabus) that clearly indicates the format of the course and the guidelines for the course; the timeline of topic lecture coverage; the due dates for the course requirements that include: Discussions, Quizzes and Exams. And the expectations that the instructor has of the student in regards to conduct and behavior in class and all other information related to the course requirements.
Therefore, a student whose goal/intent it is to be successful in the course, finds it beneficial to read the course syllabus/contract and adhere to the format and guidelines for the course, and to the expectations that the instructor has of the student regarding classroom conduct and all other information related to the course . Then the student is better able to plan and manage the demands of the course given the many other demands that they have in their life outside of the course.

Protocol for communicating with your instructor and your classmates on-line

I would like for you to read the following information so that we are all on the same page when it comes to communicating online .
If you have a question about something related to the course, you can either visit me in my office, or you could communicate with me via e-mail, or you can ask your question by clicking on the Q & A link in the WELCOME Module. Please read the following to ensure that you get a reply from me to your communication.
There is an email feature inside of Canvas , hence you can e-mail me from the Canvas page of this course. You can also email me at : nnasseem @santarosa.edu
Please be aware that I am teaching 6 classes this semester. Therefore, every time you e- mail me, please remember to identify yourself and indicate your first name and last name in your ending salutation, the course name, the section number of the class in which you are enrolled .

Please do not address me as “Hey” _____, or send me an e-mail without a beginning and an ending salutation, or without your first and last name, course name and section number.
