WELCOME EDUC 1300 2114 STUDENTS/IMPORTANT INFORMATION (8/23/18)

Welcome EDUC 1300 2114 students to my “Faculty Blog” which has information regarding our Fall 18 class.  ALL the information for the class including Syllabus, Course Schedule and the Class Policy is available as attachments below.  Make sure you immediately review all of these documents closely and carefully.

We have a new book this semester, so if you have a friend who took this class previously that book will not work.  Yes, you do need the text for the course which is listed in the syllabus. It’s available at the LSCK bookstore or any Lone Star College bookstore.  You need it immediately!

On the first day of class, we will cover a lot of material. Be prepared to take notes and ask questions.

If you are not familiar with D2L (Desire 2 Learn Online Management System), here are some helpful links:

WELCOME APPRECIATING MUSIC (MUSI 1306 2001 and Dual Credit MUSI 1306 2D04) FALL STUDENTS/IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Welcome, “Appreciating Music” students for our Fall 2018 class.  All the information for our class is listed in the Syllabus, Class Policy and Course Schedule (available below).  Included in the “Syllabus” is information about the “EBook/Access Code” and links to purchase it.  Make sure you immediately review all of these documents closely and carefully.

I am emailing this information early so you can be prepared to start the first day of classes because you have lessons and assignments that will be due the following week.

If you are using “financial aid” funds to pay for your “access code” you will need to get a “book advance” from the bookstore now.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.  Looking forward to having a great semester with you!

CLASSROOM LOCATION INFORMATION? (7/9/18)

Students;

Today, I received an email from a student and I inquired about this point today also: our Classroom location confirmation.

These are new portable classrooms and there is still some speculation about the status of these buildings.

As soon as I get confirmation, I will send you an email and post it on my blog.

Thanks

Prof. Sparks
