Then, after having read chapters 7 and 8, you should have a better understanding of the Pioneers in African-American Psychology.
*From Chapters 7 and 8:
1. Choose your favorite African-American Psychologist from Chapters 7 and 8 only. Put his/her name in the thread.
2. Pretend you have interviewed your psychologist, tell the class about his/her accomplishments, organizations, research, and the most unusual or fascinating fact based on your reading from the chapter. For example, “I have the pleasure of introducing Dr. Kenneth B. Clark
3. Explain why this is your favorite African-American Psychologist.
4. Tell us one accomplishment this psychologist would say about YOU!
3) Please be sure to label all emails as PSY2110 DL02. It is important to sign all emails with your name so I know who is writing. Please feel free to email me with specific questions about your own personal situation such as grading issues. However, for general-course questions, please post them in the Questions DB. Please feel free to answer questions if you know the answers to assist your fellow classmates!
4) Plan on checking email at least every other day and you should also plan to check into the online class at least every other day. Plan on studying at minimum of 10 hours per week. While many deadlines are at the end of the week, there are earlier in the week deadlines. I have found that students who do this and also complete required work earlier in the week tend to be more successful. Note that the deadlines are the last time by which work can be submitted. They do not indicate a time at which you should submit work. You cannot wait until the end of the week to check Bb and expect to complete all work successfully.
5) It is important to have ready and reliable access to the Internet and computers. It is very difficult to succeed if you do not have these at home. You can do so at the public library or on campus. Be aware that many systems at work may have firewalls or other security features that may prevent you from accessing some elements of the course. Finally, be aware that some ISPs (especially AOL) have a tendency to time you out (i.e. knock you off-line). That is another reason to begin work early in the week. I can unlock quizzes if that happens early on. If it happens at the deadline, you will lose those points.
6) Besides accessing Blackboard through the campus portal, it is best to access Blackboard through http://pgcconline.blackboard.com. Bb is housed on an outside server so when campus is down, Bb is not.
7) Make sure you have Adobe Reader (a free download from www.adobe.com) on your computer. Most of the documents are saved as PDF and you need this software to read them.
