Orientation
Orientation requirements for Human Communication will be conducted in
two parts; the first involves attending any of the orientation sessions
listed above (Maple Center or Blakely center). The second part is
completely online and involves shooting your first video for the class.
 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. Furthermore, the course is
designed to build confidence in all aspects of life. The course is more
fun than it may appear (and the video lectures are something you won’t
find anywhere else on earth), but be advised that success in it will,
nonetheless, require your dedication to the material and assignments.
The required textbook is COMM (that’s the title!), by Deanna D.
Sellnow, Kathleen S. Verderber, Rudolph F. Verderber, and published by
Wadsworth.
Technology Requirements
For this course, you MUST have four things:
1) 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
of each campus)
**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.
2) Second, access to a TRIPOD; furthermore, you also must USE that
tripod to create your videos. Camera shake will result in an
automatic zero.
3) Third, a YOUTUBE ACCOUNT; you will need to create a Youtube
account with your first two initials, followed by the first four
letters of your last name, followed by the semester’s initial (F for
fall, S for spring, and SUN for summer) and year.
So if Elvis Presley enrolled for the Spring 2010 semester, his
account would be titled EAPresS2010 (Elvis Aaron Presley Spring
2010).
4) Fourth, a GeorgiaView EMAIL account; you will need to check this
at least three times a week, and during some weeks, four or more
times.
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 (four total over the semester)! To succeed in this
class, all you have to do is put a good deal of effort into your videos,
write your reflection assignments in a thoughtful manner (aka “don’t
rush through them and just slap something down on paper”), and remember
the 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
here to help.

 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
Microsoft Office 2007. 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. While the number of projects has not
yet been determined, 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.

Exploring Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Diversity in Educational
Contexts in Belize is to begin equipping future teachers with
fundamental knowledge of understanding culture and teaching children
form diverse backgrounds. Course work will be done through GeorgiaVIEW
during the semester with a study abroad week in Belize, Central America.
Upon returning to Bainbridge College, students will use information from
their research, readings, journal, and experiences to make formal
presentations integrating diversity in education concepts. All
observation hours will be done in schools in Belize. A criminal history
background check will be completed and needs to be returned without a
criminal history before you can go to Belize and work in the schools.
Registration for this class is only for students traveling to Belize. If
you are interested in EDUC 2120-Belize and have not contacted Valley
Rogers about the travel part of the class, please do so before December
1, 2009.

to appear in person at a designated location to take the exam. Several
locations will be made available for taking the test.
Technology Requirements
Essays must be submitted by attachment
only in either Word 2003 or Word 2007 formats. I can help with
troubleshooting, but it is your responsibility to make sure that you
have reliable Internet access as well as the proper software. I am
unable to open documents that are created in a format other than those
mentioned.
How to Succeed
Taking a course online is not easier
or faster. It will take as much or more time than taking a face-to-face
class. If you normally go to class 3 hours per week per course, you will
need to devote that same amount of time to your online course. In
addition to online time, you should be prepared to spend time studying
and working with course materials several hours per week offline. Your
grade in this class will be based on the following:
25% Essays
25% Online Discussions
20% Midterm Exam
20% Final Exam
10% Online Quizzes
Success in this class is not
difficult, but I do encourage you to complete English 1101 before
enrolling in this online course. Read the assigned materials. Follow
instructions. Take an active part in online discussions. Turn in all the
essays on time. Take the practice quizzes as many times as possible to
prepare you for the midterm and final. Study. Attending the optional

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.
Technology Requirements
Students will use Microsoft Word (2007) and PowerPoint, attach files in
the Georgia View for grading, access information on the Internet,
complete , and participate on the class discussion board.
How to Succeed
This class starts
immediately. Carefully read the Let’s Get Started and Class Resources

How to Succeed
To succeed in this class, you must stay current with all reading
material and study vocabulary words. Each week’s assignments include
discussion questions, assignments, and assessments. These weekly
assignments prepare you for the section exam at the end of each of the
four major topic areas. (If you are taking this class as a web-enhanced
class, you will spend one hour per week in the classroom.) Supplemental
assignments and assessments will be accomplished online.
Your grade is based on the following:

all reading, vocabulary words, and weekly assignments. The assessments
prepare you to answer objective questions while discussion questions
prepare you to answer objective questions like short answer and essay
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.

 About
the Course:
This is an activity-based and inquiry-based Area F content course for
early childhood education majors. This course will emphasize the
concepts of physical, chemical and geological phenomena. These topics
are in direct correlation with the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)
for K-5. Students desiring credit for ISCI 2002 will read assigned texts
and conduct research on water quality, the science of pyramids and
scientific principles of agriculture prior to leaving Bainbridge College
through GeorgiaVIEW. In Belize, students will collect water samples from
different regions of Belize and analyze the samples. The samples will be
tested for pH, phosphate content, alkalinity etc. The data collected
will then be prepared and submitted for grade in a formal report.
Additionally, students will conduct research on the Mayan pyramids
utilizing geologic, astronomic and ecologic perspectives. In Belize,
students will conduct field research on a given pyramid. The data
collected will then be prepared and submitted for grade in a formal
report. Ultimately, students will write a paper on the science of
agriculture as it pertains to the production of sugar cane, one of the
paramount industries of Belize. Students will visit a sugarcane
processing plant and submit a paper about manufacturing processes for a
grade. Upon returning to Bainbridge College students will use
information from their research, readings, journal, and experiences to
make formal class presentation integrating education and science
concepts. All requirements for this course must be met to receive a
passing grade.
Technology Requirements
Browser Check: Verify that you have the appropriate version of
your browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.) using the
GeorgiaVIEW Vista Browser Checker. Update your browser as needed.
Plug-ins: It is possible that you will need plug-ins such as
Adobe Acrobat Reader in this course. If you need a particular plug-in, a
link to download the plug-in is provided in the course. Running a check
with the browser checker should indicate if you have the plug-ins
required.
Online Support Center: If you have a problem with any of the
above, please visit the GeorgiaVIEW Online Support Center for

Internet Connection: Though not required, it is highly
recommended that you use an Internet connection faster than a telephone
dial-up connection. DSL or cable internet access at home or a high

work, but the time required for downloads may cause you a lot of
frustration.
How to Succeed
Tips: I feel it is essential that you are aware of the nature of
