personal meetings with the instructor are available,
virtually all communication between the instructor and
students and among students in this class is via e-mail.
If you are just getting started using e-mail, some basic
instruction will be provided at the beginning of the
course to make sure everyone is clear about how messages
can be sent back and forth, how assignments will be made
and submitted and how comments and grading will be done.
If you do not have e-mail, you can get an e-mail account
through the Technology Center at West Valley College. You
can also set up a free e-mail account through Yahoo! Just
go to Yahoo.com and follow the instructions.

- Some assignments will require using the
internet to do research. A basic knowledge of how to use
one of the Internet Guides like Yahoo! is necessary for
this. If you have not done much web browsing, some basic
instruction will be provided at the beginning of the
course about how to use an Internet Guide. If you do not
have access to the internet, you can purchase a $5 lab card and search the web using
one of the computers in the Technology Center at West
Valley College.
