  3. Registration • Please register on www.gezabottlik.com as soon as possible. If you have been in one of my classes then you do not need to register again. • This allows us to have private information for this class and helps me develop a more comprehensive website to supplement the Blackboard website • You will also use this site to take the questionnaires, the background quiz, and to retrieve your grades

  4. Questionnaires • The questionnaires are used by the instructor to get demographic data about all his classes and to assess trends in technology and teaching effectiveness • The data are confidential and are summarized to help in preparing relevant and interesting classes • Next week you will get to see your class incorporated into the data from previous classes

  5. Resume • Please provide a one page resume that: • Contains a digital picture (properly sized) of yourself • Does not have your address, phone number or e-mail address in it • Tells me and your class mates about yourself • Is modeled on a brief resume used to get employment

  6. Grades • Grades vary from class to class. The overall percentages for my undergraduate classes are shown in the pie chart below: • Plusses and minuses are incorporated into the associated grades.

  7. How to get a passing or better grade • Everyone has their own way of studying and dealing with a class • The following slides have suggestions of methods that could improve your performance in this or any other class

  8. How to get a passing or better grade (continued) • Create an organized three ring binder or similar resource • Read ahead for every class session - material is provided in the assignment and on the web • Come to class for the whole session • Bring your text, class notes (from the web) and notebook to class • Stay awake and participate • Ask questions (there are no stupid questions!!) • Take notes on the provided notes

  9. How to get a passing or better grade (continued) • Do homework at leisure and early in the week. Revisit it at least once. • If you have trouble with the homework (in this order): • Ask a classmate (be sure you get to know at least two or three people in class) • See and/or e-mail the TA • E-mail the instructor (Do not ask about material that is already in the syllabus) • Compare your returned homework to the provided examples and rethink your responses if they were very different • Reread the material after the class for understanding

  10. How to get a passing or better grade (concluded) • Work hard early in the semester instead of scrambling at the end • Don’t let either the simplicity or apparent complexity of the material fool you • Check the web page for current information

  11. Posting of grades, assignments and lecture notes • The following items will be available on the website each week: • Lecture notes and discussion material at least up to and including the notes for the current week • Assignments up to and including the current assignment • Grades will be posted most weeks. These will include items for the previous two weeks. Please check them for accuracy -- you have two weeks to have corrections made

  12. Why are we here? • Class discussion

  13. Expectations • Attendance • Ethical behavior. • Effort. • Contribution to the classroom experience.

  14. What are my objectives when I prepare a lesson plan? • To make sure that you are sufficiently proficient to enhance, and certainly not to damage the reputation of USC • That you learn enough to function in a professional job with material that will be useful to you • Help you all get a good grade • Make each of the 80 minutes a pleasant experience for all of us
