Introduction to Sociology (Sociology 201A) Online
Spring 2010, 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 spring 2010 second nine-weeks course. Information on required texts, mandatory meetings, and how to log in to the Blackboard site is 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 then ( Monday, March 22, for the second nine weeks class).

The second nine weeks course, section 30422, has three mandatory face-to-face meetings at the SLO Campus on the following Monday dates:  3/29, 4/26, and 5/17 in room 6303. All meetings will be from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. There is no orientation meeting this semester. We will be taking our first exam on 3/29.

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. 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.
