Course Requirements
*To take this online course you need to have regular access to a reliable computer(s) and also have a backup in case problems arise.
**This course requires you to come to the main Palomar campus in San Marcos to take TWO exams during the semester. (One exam – Exam #2 – is given online.)
Exam #1 dates: March 6, 7, 8 , 9 and 11
Exam #3 dates: May 18, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24
The exams will be administered at the STAR Tutoring/ Proctoring Center located on the first floor of the library at the main campus. A photo ID, scantron, and a #2 pencil will be needed for each exam. Please note that I cannot make any exceptions to this policy of taking exams on the main campus, and any exceptions to the various dates that exams will be administered. Each exam will be available for at least four days (including Saturday). You can select which day to take it; however, I recommend taking the exam the first two days it is offered.
General Course Work
The general course work will consist of the following: (1) weekly readings from the texts and articles posted on Canvas, (2) weekly timed online quizzes, (3) regular discussion board forums, and (4) approximately seven film assignments (watching a film and answering questions).
There is no orientation meeting; however, students will need to complete their first discussion post Friday, February 1 by 11:59pm as a form of attendance. Courtesy reminder emails will be sent one week prior to the beginning of the semester.
