Independent
Work and Discipline
| GLY3039 requires time and discipline. It is important
to note that students in this class need: (1) to devote time to read
the posted materials in the website, (2) to do the browsing for specific
activities, and (3) to follow the instructions given at the beginning of
the term.
Consequently this course requires time and independent work,
so if you are busy, or overloaded with courses, or have a busy personal
schedule, or plan to travel during the semester, or if you feel you
will learn better in a face-to-face (traditional) modality you may not
be suited to a course like this, if you have to make a change do it now.
Even during the first week of the semester you will have work to submit,
an advantage of this teaching/learning modality is that you do not have
upper boundaries, also, you can finish the course as early as you want;
but not later that the deadlines in the schedule. |

however, you should be aware of the fact that Natural Disasters is a three

and independent thinking is also required. |

Computer
Literacy
| Students are expected to be proficient in the use of computers
including word processing, e-mail, posting attachments, and to have experience
in browsing the Internet. Students need to be comfortable using a web browser,
for students with limited web browsing experience, a tutorial on the use
of the two most popular web browsers is provided as an activity for the
first week of the semester; however, students are responsible to fulfill
this deficiency. |
