___________________________________________________

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 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 really enjoy receiving  e-mails from students. And I enjoy office visits from students. And I really appreciate the enthusiasm that most students  show for the course and the course requirements.

If you have a question about anything related to the course, you can either e-mail me at: nnasseem@santarosa.edu to set up a Zoom / Office Hour session. or you could communicate with me via e-mail, at: nnasseem@santarosa.edu. There is an email feature inside of Canvas , hence you can e-mail me from the Canvas page of this course.  Please read the following to ensure that you get a reply from me to your e-mail.

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.

3. Do not address me as “Hey”, in the beginning salutation or in any part of the e-mail that you are sending me.   

4. In your e-mail please use formal language, do not use texting language. Use of small case "i" when referring to yourself, or using small case alphabet to start a new sentence is not allowed nor accepted. Politeness and graciousness is mandatory. Sometimes people in the On-line environment are emboldened to present themselves and treat others rudely and ungraciously. Rudeness and unprofessional conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in this course. You are encouraged to conduct yourself in a friendly, mature, professional manner in your interactions with your classmates and your instructor.

5. When you are speaking with your fellow classmates in the  Exercises  and Discussions, you are expected to adopt the same protocol in terms of using a beginning salutation such as Hello First name, last name( of your classmate), and  an ending salutation such as Cheers, Good Wishes or any other such appropriate salutation.

______________________________________________________

When  you can  expect a reply to an email question message that you sent to me, the instructor. 

During the school week, (Monday  through Friday) I will check email once a day, during my office hours. Please be aware that if you email me in the evening, after 7:00pm. I may not respond to your email until the following day. 

Please note that I will not check email over the weekend, nor on Holidays.  Any messages sent after 7:00 p.m. on Fridays will not be returned until the following Monday. Lastly, please be sure to check your email  during the week, for messages and/or audio files from me pertaining to this course. Please also remember that I will be sending emails only to your SRJC account. So please let Admission & Records know your correct and current e-mail address. 

Generally, you can expect a response to your email question  within 24 hours during weekdays. However, for messages sent over the weekend, you can expect a response on Monday.
