Orientation
A
mandatory orientation session specially designed for my online sections
of Human Communication will be conducted in
two parts; the first involves attending a face-to-face orientation at 10
a.m. or 2
p.m. on Tuesday, June 1, in 269 (BC). The second part is
completely online and involves shooting your first video for the class.
If this is your FIRST online course, it is strongly suggested that you
also attend one of the orientations in the Maple or Blakely Centers
(BCEC);
again, you will need the information covered here to get started in your
assignments the first week.
 About the Course
Human Communication, or “hComm,” as it’s affectionately referred to by
my students, is a course that focuses on public speaking (informative
and persuasive speeches, in particular) but also teaches students to
become effective (yet kind) speech critics.
The course is also designed to build confidence in all aspects of life;
if you ask fellow students who have taken Human Communication with me in
semesters past, they will (hopefully) tell you that:
1)
Everyone is “in the same boat,” with regard to nervousness…at first,
anyway. (Aka “don’t worry.”)
2)
The
class is more fun than you’d expect. (Aka “you can bring your daily life
into the ‘classroom’…and vice versa.”) And..
3)
Success in the course requires your dedication to the material and your
timely completion of assignments. (Aka “just because it’s a fun class
doesn’t mean it’s a slack class!”)
Technology Requirements
For this course, you MUST have four things:
First,
access to a VIDEO CAMERA capable of somehow transmitting a
seven-minute video to the Internet. Some acceptable options are:
**A FLIP camera (there is one available for checkout in the
library)
**A Webcamera
NOTE: The video camera option on your cell phone or digital camera
is NOT an acceptable option due to camera shake and poor sound
quality.
Second,
access to a TRIPOD; furthermore, you also must USE that tripod to
create your videos. Camera shake will result in an automatic zero.
Third,
a YOUTUBE ACCOUNT; you will need to create a Youtube account with
your first initial, followed by the first four letters of your last
name, followed by SUN, and year.
So if Jimi Hendrix enrolled for the Summer 2010 semester, his
account would be titled JHendSUN2010.
NOTE: In semesters past, some students have opted to burn their
video assignments to CD or DVD and leave the disc in my mailbox;
this is fine, so long as I receive the disc before the due date.
Fourth,
a GeorgiaView EMAIL account (the one hooked up to this course’s
website); you will need to check this at least three times a week,
and during some weeks, four or more times.
Fifth, a textbook (required) called The Art of Public
Speaking, by Stephen Lucas.
How to Succeed
As
many of the instructors on this page have already mentioned, online
courses are NOT easier than courses that meet “in real life.”
If nothing else, the very fact that you don’t have a professor “in your
face” and reminding you of assignments at every turn should hint at the
importance of self-motivation in an online course.
Also, this course has at least one (brief) video due every week, not to
mention independent textbook readings (and quizzes on each chapter),
application assignments ... and, of course, exams (three total over the
semester)
To succeed in this class, all you have to do is keep up with the
assignments, and ask questions when you’re unsure of something.
It would, of course, behoove you to also remember course guidelines (aka
“No late assignments accepted,” “Grammatical and typographical errors
preclude getting an A on an assignments,” and the famous “Thou shalt not
diss thy classmate, only the errors made in thy classmate’s speech,”
etc.).
Best wishes to you and looking forward to an excellent semester!

About the Course
 Computer
Fundamentals is a required class for just about every degree available
at Bainbridge College. It is necessary to be able to function on the
computer in just about any career field you choose. This class will not
make a “geek” out of you, but it will help you to feel comfortable with
the computer, utilizing word processing, spreadsheets, presentation
slide shows, and the Internet.
Technology Requirements
You will attach files in the GeorgiaVIEW course room for grading, do web
searches, and create spreadsheets and documents as well as a
presentation. We will use Microsoft Office 2007. I will help you, but
the responsibility will fall squarely on your shoulders. You will also
need the introductory CD that comes with the textbook, so if you buy a
used book, make sure the CD is still inside the back cover and is not
scratched.
How to Succeed
Do not procrastinate! Do your work on time and submit it on time. I do
not allow late work, so please do not get mad when I will not accept it.
Ask for help when you need it, not after you have made a bad grade! I am

 About
the course
Do you have a computer, but don’t know how to make it work for you? This
course will make computing more user-friendly and lay the foundation for
using the power of your computer in your academic pursuits. Although it
seems ironic to use computers to teach computing, I do not make any
assumptions about your skill levels. You will learn about Windows Vista
and the new Windows 7, and the Office 2007 suite components: Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, and Access. Labs and online assignments will be used
to compliment text reading assignments.
Technology requirements
You
will need a computer with internet access and a copy of
either Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 (other programs, such as MS Works,
will not suffice). Student versions of Office 2007 are available online
from Microsoft for as little as $59.95. You will find it helpful to have
a USB flash drive (sometimes called a jump drive or keychain drive) to
copy and transport your work projects. USB drives are available at
Wal-Mart for under $10. If you do not have these, or cannot afford to
buy them, you might want to consider a traditional course where the
computers and software are provided by the college.
How
to succeed
This class is centered on lab projects that help bring the use of
computers into your comfort zone. There are 10 lab assignments and 7
online discussions, and the completion of these projects makes up 30% of
your grade. The projects are based upon reading assignments, so you will
need to budget your time so that you can devote enough time for both
reading, projects, and online discussions (which will be monitored for
online participation). Turn in projects and exams on time, and you can
expect to do well.
Donnie Collins,
donnie.collins@bainbridge.edu
Orientation: Although not required, it would be
very beneficial for you to attend one of the web -
based course orientation meetings to be held on the Blakely Center. I will be at the
orientations and look forward to the opportunity to meet you there. This
course is hosted entirely on the GeorgiaView course management system,
and you will receive valuable information about using this program as
well as other information about taking online courses at BC. Additional
orientation information will be presented when you visit the course
pages on GeorgiaView.
About
the course
Not only is this Computer Fundamentals course a requirement for most
degree programs, it offers you the opportunity to learn skills (or to
further hone those you may already have) that will help you in all of
your courses and life in general. Get extra credit on those papers by
presenting them in a proper format using word processing. Record and
analyze that data for those projects using a spreadsheet. Make a
compelling presentation to your classmates and your teachers using
presentation graphics. All of these skills will be taught in this
course, using the most widely used set of computer application programs
in the world--Office 2007--including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Technology requirements
This is an online course about computer software, so not
surprisingly you will absolutely have to have access to a computer
connected to the internet with certain system and application software
installed on it. Most importantly, you must have Microsoft Office 2007
on the computer. You cannot use previous versions of this application
suite because of the major difference in the user interface which was
introduced in Office 2007. You can download a trial copy of this
software directly from Microsoft if you have a high speed broadband
connection. Microsoft frequently offers deep discounts on this software
for students.
How to succeed
The biggest obstacle to succeeding in an online course is also one
of its most popular attributes-- freedom of place and time. Since there
are no set class times, it is very easy to procrastinate. Don’t do
it. The work in the course must be completed on time and in the order in
which it is assigned. The textbook introduces each individual program in
great detail with very specific, step-by-step instructions. This is
followed by review and assessment activities that offer less and less
detailed instruction. Finally, challenges expect you to have learned
what you need to know to complete them before you attempt them. If you
complete the assignments in order and on time and you take the quizzes
on the dates they are assigned, you are sure to succeed in the
course. If you don’t feel that you have the self-discipline required for
an online course, you may want to register for one of the many
traditional sections of this course offered each term.
 Orientation:
Web orientations will be held at the Blakely Center (BCEC) on Aug. 17 at

to help you succeed. I will be available Tuesday, August 24 at the
BCEC Center at 4:30 p.m.

About the Course
 This
course is designed as an interdisciplinary examination of the major
stylistic trends in western culture from early man through the
Renaissance. While the art and literature from the periods under
consideration will receive primary emphasis, attention will also be
given to historical backgrounds and the prevailing world views. The
course is arranged chronologically, but no attempt is made at being
comprehensive. Rather, selected topics that are representative of major
styles are discussed in some depth.
A chief aim of the course is to enable students to evolve working
definitions and understanding of selected styles, which will enable them
to employ these definitions for analysis of the leading arts and ideas
of the western world and help them understand the present by realizing
the heritage of the past. This is a two-hundred level course; therefore,
students are expected to perform at the level of college sophomores in
verbal and written communication and in research techniques.
You
must purchase the textbook: Fiero, Gloria K. Landmarks in
Humanities. 2nd edition. McGraw-Hill: New York, 2009.
Technology Requirements
Students will use Microsoft Word (2007) and PowerPoint, attach files in
the Georgia View for grading, access information on the Internet,

questions. Assignments allow you to practice working through logic
problems and skills (like math problems required for fitness
assessment). Section exams are designed with objective questions
(multiple choice, true/false, and matching) and subjective questions
(short answer and essay questions) that require you to apply the
knowledge you gain to real-life situations.
