Introduction to Sociology (Sociology 201A) Online
Fall 2010, First and Second Nine Weeks

My name is Frank Ha and this is the online version of the Introduction to Sociology (Sociology 201A) course that I teach. Here is the syllabus for the Fall 2010 first nine-weeks course. The Fall 2010 second nine-weeks syllabus will be available October 18, 2010. Information on required texts, mandatory meetings, and how to log in to the Blackboard site can be found there.

Though you may be able to log on to Blackboard before the first day of the course, the site will not be ready until August 16 for the first nine-weeks course and October 18 for the second nine-weeks course.

Materials for this course will be in PDF format. You will need the Adobe Acrobat reader. You can download a free copy of the reader here.

Please log on during the first day of the course. Read the following documents on the opening page (of our Blackboard course site) carefully: Syllabus, Getting Started, Getting Started on the Discussion Board, and Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any questions, make sure that you ask them now, either email me your question (fha@cuesta.edu or Blackboard email) or post the question to the questions section on the discussion board. I will be communicating with you primarily through the Blackboard discussion board. Make sure you check the discussion board, particularly the announcements section, regularly and carefully. Get started with the readings and participating in the discussions on the first day of the course. The reading schedule is on the syllabus.

If you are having problems logging on, go to http://library.cuesta.edu/distance/techspt.htm for information on how to get help. You can also try calling the Help Desk in the Computer Lab, room 3400. Their phone number is 546-3100 ext: 2802. If no one is there, send an email to support@my.cuesta.edu.

 If you did a late add, and you cannot log on, follow these instructions:

  1. Send an email to support@my.cuesta.edu.
  2. Include your name, class, section number (CRN), instructor's name, and your my.cuesta Login ID.
  3. Tell them you need to be added to Blackboard.
