I would like to welcome you to the Online course of Introduction to Sociology 1301.
Each of you has a personal reason for taking this course. I do hope the information contained in the 16 week semester will help you in your personal, academic and professional endeavors.
I have made every attempt to construct the course in a reoccurring pattern. In other words, certain activities occur and reoccur in a predictable pattern. I hesitate to call this a routine, however, a routine helps you to know what and when things are scheduled and should help you to plan accordingly.
Don’t hesitate to contact me with questions, comments, and/or concerns about the course. If you have technical questions about Canvas, you should use the Submit Ticket, or call, Canvas Support/Help desk. I can answer some technical but I prefer to default to NCTC Tech Support.
I look forward to this semester with you.
ONE MORE THING: Since this is an Online course and we do not have the benefit of seeing each other 'face-to-face', you can earn 20 Extra Credit points by posting your picture on the class roster. Please - you actual 'face' picture - no avatars.
