THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULT OF ANY EDUCATION

Is the ability to do what has to be done, when it has to be done, whether you want to do it or not.

Welcome

How to Begin:

1. You will have to REGISTER for the class. See the college SPRING 2012 Course Catalog for instructions.

2. You MUST have Microsoft Word software or a compatable word processing program that can both read and format .doc, docx, or .rtf documents. You will also need to have a current version of Adobe Acrabat Reader (Freeware) . Additionally, you MUST have Apple i-Tunes (Freeware) installed in your computer if you choose NOT to purchase the FT-5 DVD from the college bookstore.

3. Your internet connect should be at minimum DSL. Those that have attempted this course on Dial-up speeds became fairly frustrated quite quickly at both download and upload times.

4. BE PREPARED to spend a good percentage of your time within the online classoom and studying throughout the course. It is not designed to be a hard course, but it will require a commitment.

5. You will have to LOGIN to Blackboard Learning System (formely WebCT). Blackboard is a web-based course management tool accessed through the Internet. You do not have to download Blackboard CE 6. The program is password protected, which means that you must login. Access is available only to students who are officially enrolled through the Admissions and Records Office
