Welcome to Benefits and Compensation
Welcome to HRPO 2306 – Benefit & Compensation, this is a wonderful course full of great information and challenges. The following information is an extract from the class syllabus; please print and read your syllabus.
This class is going to whiz by, so put on your running shoes, and let’s get going. If you do not have, the required textbooks get them today! I recommend that you do the online registration Your Pearson MyLab or Modified Mastering course is available inside D2L Brightspace course at Lonestar North Harris County college. You need to enter the D2L Brightspace course and click a MyLab & Mastering link to sign in and register for the MyLab. This process links your Brightspace and Pearson accounts. For future access to the Pearson course, you only need to sign in to the Brightspace course and click a MyLab & Mastering link. You will get behind quickly if you wait to purchase books.
My best advice do not wait until the last day to complete your work. Life happens-kids get sick, the computer crashes, you get called into work, etc. As a side-note, you do pay a fee for computer usage at the college and all libraries and computer labs have computers for you to use. Your computer crashing is not a valid excuse. I will not accept work sent to your cell phone. I have found that work submitted on the last day tends to be of lower quality than work submitted at the beginning of the assignment.
I am providing a quick checklist for each week so that you can assess what you have done for the week and what may remain for you to accomplish. Additional information is available in the class Syllabus Located in D2L
