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 chapter reading and topic lecture coverage; the due dates for the course requirements that include: Discussions, Quizzes, Exercises, 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.  

This is an On-line format course 

This  is an On-line  format course, and you are required to use a computer and go On-line ( CANVAS) to complete and submit  all course requirements that include,  Quizzes, Exams,  Exercises and Discussions .There will be no hardcopy  of the Quizzes, Exams,  Exercises, and the Discussions .

1. Each and every time you e- mail me, even when we have an e-mail trail going, begin your e-mail with a beginning salutation such as Hello Ms. Nasseem or Dear Ms. Nasseem.

2.Each and every time you e- mail me, even when we have an e-mail trail going,  include an ending salutation such as Sincerely, or Thank you, then your first  name and your last name, the course name, the section number of the class in which you are enrolled. Please be aware that I am teaching 6 classes this semester and I have many students.
