Palomar College
American Indian Studies 105 Online
Fall 2005
Due to the extreme demand for these classes, any student who does not pass Quiz 1 on or before August 26th 2005 will be dropped from the class. I prefer that students skip the orientation PROVIDING they understand what they are doing and can keep up without attending. However, I don't offer personal orientations outside of office hours to students who choose not to attend the orientation.
73845 and 73769
The orientation scheduled for
Saturday, 8/20 at 1:30 p.m. in LL-114 has been cancelled due to instructor
illness. If you need an orientation come to my
office or call during office hours and we can arrange a time.

Super Important: I will only open email which comes to me with the section # of your class, your name as it appears in PAR, and the topic of the email entered on the subject line. A few sample subject lines might read:
31253, Fred Rogers, request for exhib. review information.
31253, Johnny Cash, I have a family emergency
31467, Maurice Gibb, photos for extra credit.
31467, Aaliyah, my attendance at orientation.
I answer your email as soon as possible, sometimes within minutes of sending. However, I can only guarantee that it will be answered in the order received.
DUE DATES: All due dates are posted below. Submit all work to the digital dropbox. Make sure your name and class number as well as the title of the assignment appear on the subject line AND on each page you submit. Assignments with a time stamp after the due date will not be acknowledged. Students submitting work on the last day are in grave danger of not having their work acknowledged because of the relative unreliability of electronic delivery. Remember, you are responsible for getting your work to me on time, even if you have to mail it or hand carry it. No mechanical excuses accepted.
Students should drop themselves on the occasion of the second missed assignment.
Course Dos and Don'ts: Follow this link and print the page out and keep it handy, otherwise you will have a hard time passing the first quiz and getting your work submitted.
