Student Responsibilities
- Homework assignments, quizzes, exams,
projects should be submitted on-time. Since this is an on-line
course, you are responsible for getting onto the world wide web.
I may accept the fact that your internet connection is down for
a few hours or may be even couple of days as an excuse. But if
your internet connection is down for more than 48 hours, please
find alternative access such as your friend's place, internet
cafe, etc.... I am not sure how much they charge, but popular
places are KapCC Business Education Kopiko 101 Lab, Coffee Talk
in Kaimuki and Ing Direct in Waikiki. If you have your own laptop,
other places are Starbucks Coffee, Safeway Kapahulu, Kahala Mall
and Ing Direct in Waikiki. The following websites may be useful:
- Students must show valid reasons and
supporting evidents to arrange for make-ups. If possible, such
arrangements should be made prior to due dates.
- Please browse through the cash of
the assigned chapter(s) (tutorials) before reading the materials
I have posted in Laulima.
It will
save you time in the long run.
- As you read the chapter(s) and the
Laulima materials or while you are working on your homework assignments,
please take notes. Also, please write down question(s) you have
and you can refer these questions to me later via e-mail, on-line
chat, or if you are on Oahu, in-person meetings.
- Other than my office hours, you are
welcome to make an appointment. I am quite flexible as long as
it is not too early in the morning or too late in the night.
- Students are responsible for maintaining
a record of their homework and exam scores. The instructor will
provide students with official records kept periodically. Students
should review and compare with own records and inform instructor
of any discrepancies.
- I will help you with your homework
as much as I can but I will not do your homework for you. You
may get help from classmates but you should not expect your classmates
to do your homework for you.
- Let's all chat!
- Practice, practice, practice!
- Let's have fun and keep our communication
channels open at all times!
