We're glad you joined us!

An assignment due on a specific day of the week must be

submitted by 11:59 p.m. EST on that day.

For general questions about assignments please post your

questions on the Ask the Professor discussion board.

If you have questions look there first!

My name is Stephanie Dee Smith, and I am your instructor for this course.

You can contact me via e-mail at ssmith17@brenau.edu concerning specific questions about this course or personal issues.

Please allow 24 hours for a response.

Get started by clicking on MODULES in the menu on the left.

This is your TO DO list each week. Due dates are noted in the module.

You will only be able to see each week as we reach that point in the course.

Please begin each day by checking ANNOUNCEMENTS (in the menu on the left). They should also go to your email, so please check your Tigermail daily while you are taking a Brenau course.

The purpose of this course is to help you transition your skills you already use in your work and home life into successful strategies as an adult student. Brenau recognizes that you are fitting school into an already busy life, and unlike traditionally aged students (i.e. right out of high school) you have multiple areas of responsibility. In other words, school is not your "entire life". The course has been designed with this in mind. We are here to help you be successful!

If this is your first time using Canvas, don't panic. Review the Canvas Student Tutorial under references in the menu on the left. You must pass the Canvas Quiz before the system will allow you view the other assignments in Modules/Week 1.This is not to stress you out, but to give you the tools to make our class (and the ones to come) much easier. So first things first - go through the tutorial then take the Canvas quiz (as many times as you need and YES it is 'open notes'- use the tutorial as a reference!).

Once you complete the Canvas Quiz...

Work your way down the list of assignments in the module list.
Note: the due dates are listed in the Modules section- the earlier you get things posted the better! Print the module page out and high-light any due dates, big assignments, quizzes, etc.
Open the module for the current course week and complete each section in order so that you won't miss anything. If you get confused, go back to the Canvas tutorial and review.

DISCUSSION BOARD RESPONSES AND DUE DATES

I look forward to getting to know you throughout this course. If you have any questions about the course or assignments, feel free to contact me. There will be a variety of different discussions throughout your 7 weeks in the class. Please review "Rules for the Discussion Board" for more information. You will want to go to your "Modules" on the left and see the due dates of each of your discussion questions.

If you are having issues with Canvas, contact the IT help desk as they need to know so it can be addressed and documented! Instructors have very limited access in Canvas and can't do anything from our end other than check our settings! Contact the IT help desk If you have a problem at 770-538-4774. They are available 24/7 (a live person twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week) or email them at helpdesk@brenau.edu.

If you are experiencing IT issues while working in Canvas (blocked videos, pictures that won't load, etc.) you may be using a browser that is not supported. Please use GOOGLE CHROME or MOZILLA (not Internet Explorer). Additional information can be found here: http://guides.instructure.com/m/4214/l/41056-which-browsers-does-canvas-support
