Great Useful Information This class is going to be 5 weeks long, and will include 16 weeks worth of work. If you are new to the college experience, you may find the pace and the workload more challenging than you anticipated. Things that you can do to increase your odds of succeeding in this class 1) Show up for class every day, and pay attention to me in class. Also, take notes. 2) Buy or rent the textbook. You should have it already. I know you are broke. 3) READ each chapter in the textbook BEFORE we cover it in class. 4) Use the Power Point slides as a study guide (presumes you'll study). 5) Do ALL the Essays / GLAs on time (a reduced score or zero really sucks). 6) Take ALL the exams on time (a zero sucks even more here). 7) Don't cheat or lie or make up sad stories to sway something in your favor. 8) If you've got an issue or problem that interferes, let me know. Maybe I can help. 9) Check at Canvas to see how you are doing at least once a week (coc.instructure.com) 10) If you are struggling, let me know EARLY. Probably I can help. 11) If you've got a disability issue of any sort, let me know. I will accommodate. 12) Don't expect any unwarranted special treatment. No last minute extra credit either. STRESS MANAGEMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH: Often the pressure on our students is very intense, involving academic commitments, relationships, outside jobs and family pressure to name a few. The staff and faculty of College of the Canyons are here to help you succeed academically and we care about your emotional and physical health. You can learn more about the broad range of confidential student services, including counseling and mental health services available on campus by visiting the Student Health & Wellness Center (Valencia - in Student Center -122) (CCC Quad 1-B, Room 109) or by accessing .
