Welcome to HS100:Introduction to Health Science Something to talk about: While we wait for class to start at the top of the hour, please share at least one healthy tip that you think others can benefit from, too, as we proceed through the next ten weeks together!

Communication within the Academic Environment • Although you can log into the course from the comfort of your own home or anywhere, when you enter the classroom and seminar, you are entering an academic environment of higher learning where professionalism is expected. Neither Class nor seminar is a Chat Room where anything goes. Please keep in mind the following in your online courses. • Proper grammar, spelling, punctuation using Standard American English (No text language or inappropriate language) • Address people by name • Be polite and respectful of fellow learners and the Professor • Understand and follow all Netiquette rules (course syllabus)
Communications (continued) Emails • Students are not permitted to send mass emails to the entire class; it is unwanted email and a violation of the Code of Conduct. • If you have any questions, you the student are to email the professor directly. If you do not ask questions how will you know the proper answer • Sending emails to the entire class is only permitted to be done by the professor (that is why the function is there; it cannot be blocked for one and not all) • Please ensure when sending emails to anyone, proper grammar and spelling are used and that you address the person by name or title (See Writing Center for Email Do’s and Don’ts)
Student Technical Support Phone Live Chat If experiencing any technical difficulties, please call Technical Support at: 1-866-522-7747
Poll Time! • Throughout seminar, I may do a poll. • A poll window will pop up on your screen, with a question, and below you will have choices to select. • The purpose of polls is to reinforce key information that I feel is important for you to know. • Please do not type your answer in the class activity box for everyone to see. • The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok:)
