Expectations:Participation and Communication

Participate in class: Post discussions and

turn in assignments on time. In an online course,

you should log-in and post at least three times per

week (preferably on different days).

Participate in the process. Submit all documents (transcripts, financial

aid, and other forms) in a timely manner. Register for

classes and order books at least 3 weeks before the start of term.

Participation is all about effort. To get the most out of your courses and

educational investment, it is important that you throw yourself into your courses. Like

anything else worth completing: you only get out of a class what you put into it.

Expectations:Participation and Communication

Communicate with OU Help about technical issues that

affect your class participation.

Communicate with your advisor about changes in your life

that affect your education;

i.e. name and address changes, changes to academic or

career goals, or serious health, financial, or personal problems.

Communicate with the instructor first about issues that

affect your participation in class.

Communication is a two-way street. Check your OU e-mail account at least twice

per week. And, if you don’t understand a policy, procedure or requirement ask your

instructor or advisor for help.
