Once you have registered in Pageout, you will be
automatically activated into the course!

Make sure you enter a current e-mail address into the
Pageout program-that is how I will e-mail
you for group distribution e-mails! All e-mails will also appear as
announcements on your opening page on Pageout so be sure to click on
these announcements to view the whole message! If you do not receive an e-mail
from the instructor after registering in Pageout and by the end of the first
week of classes, then re-check your e-mail address that you entered in Pageout
or check your Spam folder!

·
I will know you
are in the class by both your Cuesta enrollment and your registration

·
This class requires a lot of self-motivation and work
on your own. Please stay enrolled only if you can handle this!
·
The midterm and final exam are timed-you have
only 2 hours to take them. All other assessments may be viewed and then
re-visited within the open period.
·
Lastly- this class is not a
“work-at-your-own-pace” class. You have deadlines each Friday. No exceptions
are made. Please realize by taking this class you are committing to submitting
these regular assignments on time.
·
Special Note: the course password is sports. That will
enable you to login and get started and submit the first assignment in case you
cannot get the materials by Monday, the 17th of August.
Good Luck!
