  1. Welcome tothe almost 100% online version ofBusiness 10(Introduction to Business)at De Anza College inCupertino, California with your hostByron Lilly

  2. Overview • 95%-98% of the time you spend on this course will be at home, on days and at times of your choosing • 80% of your grade will be based on the work you complete online • 20% will be based on the on-campus final examination • I estimate 68½ hours for successful completion of this course. • The final examination is a closed-book, closed-note, multiple choice exam.

  3. Learn at Your Own Pace You can complete the online portion of this course at almost any pace you choose. However, • You must create your PageOut user i.d. by the end of week 2. • You must earn 400 “regular” online points by the end of week 5. • Final due date for all online work is Monday night, week 12. No exceptions.

  4. Final Examination • Required • Offered twice during “finals week” • See the course syllabus for dates, times, and locations • Choose one of the two times offered. • Bring a picture i.d., a pencil, and a ParScore form • Comprehensive, closed-note, closed-book, 20% of course grade.

  5. Remote Final Exam If and only if you: • Live beyond a reasonable commute distance, and • Make all the necessary arrangements well before finals week, then I will send a copy of final exam by “snail mail” to any educational institution, that is willing to proctor your final exam.

  6. Online Portion of Course • Videotaped lectures featuring me. • Online, open-book quizzes on the readings • Online, open-note quizzes on the lectures • Some chapters have short “third party videos.” • Those that do will have short, open-book, open-note quizzes for those videos. • Some chapters have other required online activities.

  7. Quizzes are Not Group Work • You must take the quizzes ALONE. You are not permitted to RECEIVE HELP from others, or to collaborate with others during a quiz. • If you receive help during an online quiz, every time you use your De Anza transcript, you will be committing fraud. • So be smart: take the quizzes alone using only permitted materials.

  8. Comprehensive Chapter Exams • When you have finished all the required activities for the first chapter, you should take the open-book, open-note “comprehensive examination” for that chapter. • The Prologue doesn’t have a comprehensive chapter exam. • The comprehensive chapter exams count for 40% of your course grade. • Then move on to the next chapter.

  9. Finishing the Course • There are 16 chapters in the course. • Some chapter-specific extra credit points available. • Extra credit points will “turbo-charge” your “regular online activities” grade. • When you have finished all the required online activities in the 16 chapters, you should study for the final exam. • Studying the questions you missed on the online quizzes would be an excellent idea! • There is also a preparation hints document.

  10. Next steps • Print and read the course syllabus. • Take the Welcome Survey • Introduce yourself to the other members of the class • Create your Investopedia stock market game user i.d. and buy some stocks • Note: the “Click here to install the Java runtime environment on your computer” link is very important! • Buy the book, then start the Prologue!
