Welcome

PrintPrint

Before we begin our semester of study together, it is important that you review all of the material on the course orientation pages (there are several) and on our course syllabus. These resources will not only prepare you to be successful in this course, but they will also help you prepare for the "Course Information" quiz at the end of the orientation. You must get a score of at least 90% on that quiz to gain access to the assignment dropboxes for this course...and the answers are all contained on the syllabus or in this orientation!

Have you looked at the syllabus?

This course orientation will complement and expand on the information provided on our syllabus. Be sure to review that document, too...carefully!

What will we learn about in the Course Orientation?

  • the structure of EME 805
  • an overview of Canvas Penn State's course management system
  • technical requirements for EME 805
  • how to succeed in this course
  • where to get course assistance if you need it

What is due for the Course Orientation?

Optimally, you should complete the Course Orientation before the first week of class. Please refer to the Course Schedule section of the Syllabus for specific time frames and due dates.

The following is an overview of those activities that must be submitted for Course Orientation. Detailed directions and submission instructions are located within this orientation.

(You may want to print this page to serve as a checklist as you go along.)

  1. Personalize your Canvas space.
  2. Forward your Canvas Inbox messages.
  3. Register with the University Libraries.
  4. Log in to this website.
  5. Introduce yourself and meet the rest of the class.

Questions?

If you have any questions during Orientation Week, please post them to our Orientation Discussion Forum (not e-mail), located on the Modules page in Canvas. I will check that discussion forum daily to respond. While you are there, feel free to post your own responses if you, too, are able to help out a classmate. Each week, you will find a new Discussion Forum located in the Module for that Lesson.
