Welcome to History 5: California History!  I'm glad you have decided to take this class.

Syllabus

Class Schedule


Books: (Make sure you buy the correct volume and edition of each book.)
The book list is found in the Syllabus.

You are responsible for having the books in time to participate in the class.  If the college book store is out of stock, you will need to purchase the books elsewhere.  If the book store is out of stock, that is not an excuse to not turn in work.


Taking an Online Class

If this is your first online class, I suggest you read over this helpful COS webpage: Online Survival Guide.


Instructions for Accessing the Online Class:

This class uses the Etudes system.  If you are unfamiliar with Etudes, I recommend you work though the free online orientation to the system.  If you go the College of the Siskiyous Etudes - Student Help webpage, you will find links to several ETUDES-NG demonstrations.  ETUDES-NG is different than ETUDES-Classic.  Even if you have used ETUDES-Classic, I strongly recommend you watch all the ETUDES-NG demos.

To learn how to login to the class, go the College of the Siskiyous Etudes - Student Help webpage, and read the Login Instructions.

See you inside the class!
