The REQUIRED TEXT for this class is Roark, et al., THE AMERICAN PROMISE: A History of the United States to 1877, Vol. I, 5th ed. (Boston: Bedford Books, 2011).1

Recommended Text:

Johnson, READING THE AMERICAN PAST VOL. I, 4th ed. (Boston: Bedford Books, 2009).

NOTE: PLEASE PURCHASE YOUR BOOK(S) AT THE DVC BOOKSTORE. THAT WAY YOU WILL BE SURE OF BUYING THE CORRECT

BOOK(S) AND HAVING THEM BEFORE AS-SIGNMENTS ARE DUE.

NOTE: If you buy an earlier edition, you risk encountering exam questions you cannot

answer.

1 Having the book(s) in your possession when the term begins is crucial to your success. Please consider buying the book through the Campus bookstore, and buying it in person rather than online. If you buy through the school, then you know you are getting the correct book. If you buy it in person at the bookstore, you will have the book in plenty of time to complete your first exams.

I realize that personal finances often dictate the timing of book purchases. Thus I have placed a copy of the textbook on reserve at the DVC Library.

I also give you a generous "book purchase lead time" to buy the book before the first exam deadlines. I cannot extend the exam deadlines any further because we have a lot to do and a finite amount of time in which to do it.

There are several facets of participation in this course, all of which are necessary for successful completion. One of the most important: keeping yourself up to date on possible changes to our schedule over the next six weeks. Any changes will appear on the "Schedule" part of this Syllabus/Schedule, at the af-fected assignment/date. If I change a due date, I will notify you by your campus email account. Please check your campus email ac-count every day, to ensure that I have not changed some key deadline, knowledge of which might materially affect your happi-ness in life!

EVALUATION

16 multiple-choice exams 30 points each = 480 points 432 - 480 = A

Grades and a running total will be posted on D2L throughout the term. It is your responsibility to be aware of your progress in the class. To determine your grade at any given moment: add all remaining exams to your Running Total on D2L, and compare to the grade structure above.

DVC HIST 120-5564-SU14

A Word About Online Instruction: Online instruction is only for the incredi-bly well organized and self-disciplined stu-dent. If you have never taken an online class, you may not know how hard it is to stay cur-rent in your reading and writing assignments.

Many students enroll in online courses thinking online instruction will take less time than face-to-face instruction. It is not true.

Online classes take just as much time as F2F classes. In a F2F class, you will spend a total of 54 hours in the classroom over 6 weeks, for 9 hours per week of class-time. You must do the same in an online class. Your online instructors must keep you engaged at least 9 hours per week, as though they had you in a virtual classroom. (Consider that the time you spend reading the assigned chap-ters--on which you will be tested--and rec-ommended documents--on which you will not be tested.)

If you also want an A in the class, then you must be prepared to spend an additional two to three hours "outside" of class for every hour you spend "inside." (That is your time on the American Promise website, tak-ing practice exams, studying the flashcards, etc.) So add 9 hours per week to another 18 hours (if you go with 2-hours-per formula), or another 27 hours (if you go with the 3-hours-per formula), resulting in a time com-mitment of 27 to 36 hours per week, just for this summer-school class.

Are you prepared to commit 27 to 36 hours/week to this class?

That is the time factor. Now consider your personal time management skills.

As an online student, you must exert far more conscious effort than your F2F peers. They have a set time every week to hear lectures, ask ques-tions, and otherwise engage the course material. In an online class, you are entirely on your own. You must create that set time for yourself, all alone, in the dark. Then you must stick to that schedule, no matter what. Trust me: it is harder than it looks.

If you are not prepared to make this kind of time commitment, or if you do not have the per-sonal stick-to-it-tiveness required for online ed-ucation, then this class is not a good fit for you.

Online Syllabus/Schedule, page 7

Attendance:

As part of "attendance" for this online class, you must complete the assigned readings, submit each of the assigned ex-ams, AND do it within the timeframes posted below. Missing the equivalent of one week of instruction will jeopardize your ability to pass this course. Even with a medical ex-cuse, missing a week in a 6-week class is a problem.

Once a week has passed, you might not be able to make up the work you missed. (See my policy on late work at p. 11.)

Exams:

You will take 16 Multiple-Choice Ex-ams consisting of 30 questions per chap-ter. I have thrown in the occasional extra credit question on the Multiple-Choice Exams. This extra credit question does

not change the point structure of the class. If you get the extra credit question right, then you get an extra point. If you miss the question, you are no worse off than before.

Exam Availability:

All exams are available on the first day of the summer term. You may work ahead if you wish. Note, however, that each exam has a specific due date. If you miss an exam deadline, you will have to take it as a makeup exam during the last week of Sum-mer 2014. Please see my policy on late work at p. 11.

All exams are due by 11:45 pm on Friday night. Please check D2L and this Sylla-bus/Schedule for deadlines on specific ex-ams. NOTE: Once you open an exam, you must complete it. You get only one chance to take each exam, so please be ready to take the exam once you open it. On the chapter exams, you get 3 minutes per question, or a total of 90 minutes per exam. You must save each an-swer and submit the exam for grading be-fore your time runs out, and before the deadline to complete the exam passes. D2L will not save answers entered after your time has run out. D2L will not save answers entered after the exam deadline has passed. Please plan your time accord-ingly. Please complete your exams by the dates and times indicated on the Schedule, which begins at p. 14.

DVC HIST 120-5564-SU14

Taking Multiple-Choice Exams on D2L: All of your exams are located on D2L's course homepage under "Assessments."

Click on the "Quizzes" link and all of the available exams will appear in the center of your screen. Click on the exam link to open the exam.

Once you open an exam, you must complete it.

Be sure you are ready before you open the exam. You only have one chance to take each exam, so please be sure you are ready BEFORE you open any exam.

The Multiple Choice Exams are TIMED. You get roughly three minutes per question.

Multiple Choice Exams are set to deliver one ques-tion at a time. You may go back and review your an-swers if you wish. I urge you NOT to go back and change your answers (statistically, your first answer was usually correct).

You must save each answer before moving to the next question.

Take your time, work carefully but efficiently, and remember to SAVE your answers as you go.

YOU CANNOT SAVE ANSWERS AFTER YOUR TIME IS UP, OR AFTER THE DEADLINE TO COMPLETE THE EX-AM HAS PASSED.

Your Best Exam Strategies

Multiple-Choice Questions are word problems. Your best strategy is to read the question carefully, because each word matters, and then to eliminate wrong choices. Each wrong choice has a problem: it de-scribes something that did not happen. Usually the correct choice is correct only because there is nothing wrong with it, not because it is such a pro-found truth!

The Internet and You: Some students will be tempted to search online for answers to exam questions. Maybe that strategy will work for them, maybe it will not. Maybe the Internet information is accurate; maybe it is not. The safest source of infor-mation for exam questions is the textbook--specifically the pages assigned for that week.

If you are new to D2L, here are some handy "HOW TO" VIDEOS FOR DESIRE-2-LEARN on YouTube (copy the urls and play the videos in Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or in another platform):

My Policy on Late Work:

I will permit you to make up any missed exam without penalty IF you provide me with documentation from a medical facili-ty confirming a medical reason for your inability to meet the deadline. Except in cases of emergency (e.g., in-volvement in an automobile accident), the medical excuse should cover at least three full days prior to the exam dead-line, not just the last possible second for submitting the exam. I will permit you to make up one missed exam without medical excuse be-ginning Week 6 (see the schedule, below). You must contact me during Week 6 and ask me to make the exam available to you. Please note the deadline for completing any requested makeup exam in the Schedule, below. The penalty for making up a missed exam without a personal medical excuse is 35%.

NOTE: Make-up Exams are not "Do Overs." You may not retake an exam on which you did poorly.

Put another way:

Exámenes de maquillaje no son "Do-Overs".

化妆考试不是“收购”

Макияж экзамены не являются "делаете-кадром."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Professor Irwin's Summer 2014 Office Hours:

I will be holding virtual office hours once each week, from 9 am to 10 am on Mondays. Here are instructions for joining me dur-ing my WEBEX office hours: 1. Send me an email via an "outside" email provider (you will not be able to use your D2L mailbox--WEBEX cannot get through the D2L log-in script). You can use your school Insite mailbox, or another provider. Whichever provider you use, that is the email address I will use to schedule our virtual meet-ing. Just be sure that you check that email box on the day of our meeting (more below). You do not need to set up a WEBEX account first. Just send me an email from a non-D2L email provider and ask to join me. 2. When I receive your email, I will create a link for you to join me during my next office hour. WEBEX will send the link to the email address you used to request the meeting. The WEBEX email will arrive just before our scheduled meeting time. All you will have to do is click on the link--WEBEX will do the rest. Be sure to log in to that email provider just prior to our meet-ing. That will be the only way you can access the WEBEX link that gets you "in" to our digital meeting. 3. When you click on the WEBEX invitation, WEBEX will ask you to enter your name and email address. Be sure to use whatev-er email address you used to ask me for the meeting (because that will be the address I gave WEBEX). WEBEX will not permit you to join me from a different email address). 4. While you are signing in, tell WEBEX that you will use your computer (not your telephone) for audio and visual access. That way you will be able to see and hear me and I will be able to see and hear you. Once you have completed these steps, you and I will be able to communicate with each other via the web cameras on our computers. I will be able to go over your exams with you and we can dis-cuss your performance in the class. This will also be a good time for you to ask any questions you may have.

Why Can't I See Which

Questions I Got Wrong and

What the Correct Answer

Was?

In the interests of exam security, I do not publish test questions with test

answers on the Internet. You will only be able to

see your exam scores on D2L. However, I am hap-py to go over your exam

with you privately via WEBEX.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:

I take a very dim view of it. By enrolling in this class, students agree to uphold the standards of academic in-tegrity described here. By accepting you in this class, I agree to do all DVC permits to students who attempt to engage in ac-

ademic dishonesty.

If you are confused, or hard-pressed for time, or completely disenchanted, please

contact me first, before you do some-thing regrettable and illegal.
